Just saw a documentary...very compelling...about the potential health benefits of CBD (cannabidiol) which is found in medicinal cannabis. The products they're able to make now contain no THC. Very curious if anyone has tried any of these products? Or just want to share your thoughts on the subject in general?

Some interesting info here, though I admit I don't know much about the credibility of this source: http://www.leafscience.com/2014/02/23/5-must-know-facts-cannabidiol-cbd/

I use medical MJ and for my daytime use I was using strictly CBD but I wasn't getting anything from it alone so I had to switch my daytime type for one that also has THC. THC gives the body and mind more of an effect where CBD didn't give me any effect what so ever.

I started off with smoking regular street weed before going onto medical and I do find that with the medical (since I am using a strain with high CDB and medium THC compared to my nighttime which is just a high THC to help me sleep) and I do find that the medical has helped with less daily bowel movements so there must be something to the medical MJ.

I'm mainly using it for my IBS (my CD is in remission with Humira) and for sleep, but even before we got my CD in remission with Humira and I was smoking the street weed, I saw a big improvement with aiding for my frequency, pain and sleep issues.

I use medical mj to help with my pain and nausea. I have talked to people who have had success in just using strains with only CBD in them. For day time use I have something that is low in THC and high in CBD. But not without any THC. The THC really helps my symptoms so I haven't tried it without yet.

Thanks for sharing -- it's really interesting to hear that all three of you have seen better results with THC.

Yeah, I think maybe because THC calms my mind compared to just CBD....like it's linked to the mind-gut connection or something, I don't know, but CBD alone does nothing for me so that's why I decided to add THC to my daytime CBD strain....but I think the higher CBD still causes some benefit because since switching to medical from street MJ, I do have less frequency and now I finally have no more bloating or any excessive painful gas and my stomach is as flat as a board and feels so much calmer than when I was using the street MJ so there is definitely something to the medical strains that seems to differ from the street stuff. I smoked the street stuff for about 2 yrs before going on the medical, which I've now been on for only 4 months now.
