Yes, it is expensive. I don't know what to tell you other than you are wrong. If you look at your own statements, you will see you stated unequivocally that CBD isn't effective. Now you are backpedaling saying its expensive. Yes, it is expensive. And I promise you it's not hard to see that it absolutely works for some people. If you understood how well cannibinoids fit into our brains, this may not surprise you. Having looked into pricing and done quite a bit of research, the cheapest I have seen for pills is 50c for 25mg. But this is still $600/month for a 1000mg dose. I think most people are taking less than this. But still 300-600mg is expensive. But, its not much more expensive that other "mediciine" that needs to be taken every day.

You might be confusing me with someone else. I never said equivocally or unequivocally that cbd wasn’t effective. I said at retail doses it’s not effective because it’s different than what the study says. A $600/month otc treatment is not realistic. I’m really familiar with retail cbd use. I don’t think it’s harmful. But these retail offerings are not advertising 1g/day doses and instead include droppers and market small doses. I haven’t read any studies that show these low doses having the anecdotal impact. If it absolutely works for some people, then we’ll have RCTs and published results for us both to discuss. That will be great. There’s lots of expensive medicine. There’s also medicine that’s dirt cheap ($6/month metformin, $3/month ssris, etc). With research cbd will be very affordable as well. Because now, it’s only available in the doses in the referenced papers to rich people. Which is nice, but if it is as amazing as folks feel it is then prices really need to come down.

  Apologies. I thought it was the same person. However you are wrong that a $600/month otc treatmnet is not realistic. It's certainly not ideal, it's certainly out of the financial range of many people. . And certainly there are people right now spending $600/month for CBD because it works. Prices will definitely come down, and I agree they "need" to. I suspect we will have synthesized CBD quite soon). Minus the black market, and then minus the hype, and then plus the increase in production, prices have a long way to go down.
