Curious what people’s opinions are here. Does it work and help with training and recovery? There’s a new local company up here in New England - www.akavie.com - that’s been sponsoring local MX which is awesome and there’s a lot of buzz going around. I’ve never tried it and the prices seem very expensive. Is it worth it? If so how much/often do you recommend? Any insight is appreciated!
Here in Australia is illegal.
However, I had a really sever injury and suffered from many things on the medical side and was able to be supplied it.
I was very against it and skeptical of it at first, but after really researching and putting it to test my self.
I'm a huge fan and can see it being a huge part of the every day healthy living in the future.

People with epilepsy benefit greatly from CBD administered orally. There is science to back that up. Everything else is placebo snakeoil horseshit.
Tell me what I'm missing....

But it doesnt provide any advantages. It doesnt improve fitness or or recovery or anything like that. Theoretically it could help with armpump. armpump is from tight riding. If youre relaxed and calmer, arm pump may not be as much of a problem.
However, if you are subject to drug testing, avoid it. CBD has been found to be Not 100% THC free in some cases. Oh it may have nothing more than trace amounts of THC, but used enough, it can be enough to trigger a positive just as if you were smoking a fat one.
There are court cases pending against CBD suppliers who claimed to be 100% THC free. Jobs lost after finding this wasn't completely true.
Something from an academic journal, not just a blog or news article
There's zero science backing anything other than it working on epilepsy (together with normal epilepsy medicine).

A quick scan is interesting, 400mg the dose so that gives a point of reference...
The biggest issue we all have is knowing what you are getting. John Oliver did a very good show on supplements. It's a shit show of an industry
Some impressions:
-Low n size: only 10 participants which is very low for any experiment
-The participants were diagnosed with social anxiety disorder meaning they are already experiencing more anxiety than the average person, so, we still do not know how CBD influences anxiety in an average person. Plus, social anxiety is very different than regular, generalized anxiety
-Most important, they were given 400mg of 99.9% pure CBD, which does not seem to be the type of product sold OTC.
-No control group
Nice to see work being done on this topic way back in 2010.
