I live in Colorado.
CBD is a fascinating substance. I've tried CBD vape pens (best way to use it, because it doesn't stand up very well to the digestive system when eaten) and the effect is completely non-psychoactive. Friends of mine on prescription anti-anxiety meds have stated that it works better than their meds, and is actually LESS intoxicating than their pills.
Another property that is widely reported is the way it helps people with chronic pain. Reportedly, they claim to still feel the pain, but notice it is "shifted to the background" and doesn't interfere with their tasks in the workplace.
Most importantly, unlike scrips like Lexapro, the user doesn't develop a sharp dependence. A friend of mine on Lexapro has potent withdrawals the moment they stop taking it. This makes sense, because the MD who prescribed it told him he would need to do a "step-down" over a period of weeks to stop the medication. CBD has none of that issue.
