All I know is that Marijuana, smoked, absolutely works. I haven't been smoking it long enough to do various test with different strains, say, a sativa versus an indica, and so on.
I will try anything at this point. I'm not sure if it is the CBD either, for all I know it could be another ingredient such as the terpenes which is truly of medicinal value. I most certainly have reactions to essential oils (of various plants, not marijuana though) vaporizing under a candle.
I also have a "psychotic features" diagnosis, and I was most certain that marijuana would worsen it, and it doesn't, but the major problem is dosing, and keeping my lungs healthy. After a total of three months smoking, that's the major problem (besides cost).
If the marijuana works, there is something inside it that works.
Only thing I need to figure out are some claims that hemp oil comes from seeds only, and that seeds contain low amounts of CBD, but if the hemp oil which is high content CBD, is being made from a different marijuana or a different part of the plant, then chances are the CBD Oils, are different from the Hemp Oils. But I don't know that yet. It could very well be terpenes of something that is of value.
However, yeah, I've been smoking the plant, not the seeds.
