What Can CBD Do For You?
A quick web search for “benefits of CBD” will show many examples of how CBD may benefit you. The Forbes article, 9 Science-Backed Benefits Of CBD Oil, lists the following benefits:

As with anything, your individual results may vary from the next person, so it’s something that you may just need to try to find out if it is right for you. We recommend, as with any supplement, that you consult your doctor before use. CBD is generally very well tolerated, and has few side effects.
We recommend starting off slowly and consistently. For oil, one dropper per day, daily, for at least 7 consecutive days should start give your body time to adjust to it. Hold the oil under your tongue for about a minute, then swallow. Dosages can be increased or decreased as needed.
CBD does not affect mental clarity to any significant degree. It does not get you “high,” but it might relax you. It can also help with sleep, so taking it in the evening might be a consideration.
