CBD Gummies - do they really work?

So, the other night, I was on a web site and there was this ad that said “got tinnitus? Try this cure!”

Anyone out there with tinnitus will tell you that any improvement would be amazing, so I clicked the link and it took me to some page about CBD Gummies and how they were on shark tank and all of the sharks invested and it’s the most watched episode yadda yadda yadda.

Had anyone tried CBD gummies? Do they actually work? They have about 50 illnesses listed that the gummies treat/alleviate, and if they could alleviate my tinnitus, I’d take them in a heartbeat.

But I don’t like jumping in without doing research, and man, it’s hard to find honest opinions/research on them.

I’d love some first-hand experience/stories of anyone that has tried them before I invest in them. Any downsides to worry about?

The delta 8 thc gummies which are legal in most states work incredibly well. The high feeling but none of the anxiety

More interested in the medicinal aspect, particularly if it alleviates the tinnitus. The CBD supposedly reduces inflammation which would explain the tinnitus issues. Does THC do the same?

It’s mostly snake oil

if you live in a a state where it legal recreationally or medicinally, the ones you get from the dispensary are the only real ones. All that shit you buy online and at the gas station can’t legally have enough CBD or THC for them to really do anything.

That being said, I am starting to hear about some over the counter stuff that is effective due to some restrictions being lifted, but that’s only here in Florida where it already legal medicinally.

EDIT: I should clarify, I have no idea if they help with tinnitus, or any illness/condition for that matter. All I know is the real CBD and THC products you get from the dispensary will make you feel relaxed and/or high. In general tho, CBD is being advertised like modern snake oil. Companies are claiming it has all kinds of health benefits and saying it’s a miracle cure, when in reality it just helps you feel relaxed and feel good. Be careful falling for that stuff. If it’s legal medicinally or recreationally where you are, then go to a dispensary and get the real stuff, at least.

they are bullshit. like Kev Kev Kev Kev says they are snake oil. you'll only get a placebo effect at best.

also, lol gummies for tinnitus. chewing helps with tinnitus. the CBD isn't gonna do anything. the chewing will temporarily relief it. go buy a pack of chewing gum instead.

Anything CBD gives me anxiety the day after and makes my throat so tight I choke when I try to eat food. It's a known side effect but the only thing that does that for me.

I use CBD oil for recovery occasionally after a tough workout or activity filled day. They calm you down and make it much easier to be in a restful state. I honestly doubt they would do anything for tinnitus, but give it a shot.

The cannabanoid system in the human body is understudied so it is hard to say.

from what I have experienced CDB on its own isn’t that great effective. Same with THC.

Depends on the gummy. I've had some that claimed to have a certain dosage but in practice had almost no effect.

I've used CBD gummies for things like muscle aches but mostly to help me fall asleep. Even things like melatonin would make me feel a little groggy in the morning but CBD doesn't and it won't wreck my liver and stomach like tylenol pm

Get the real stuff. If you aren't buying it from a weed store, it is snake oil. Might as well just be eating gummy vitamins.

Like others have said the CBD that has super low THC from a dispensary are the only ones worth a damn in my experience. I particularly like KIVA mints which have like 0.5 MG of THC in them but mostly are CBD. So yeah CBD works but I’d be wary if anything you see in a non dispensary like the stuff Joe Rogan shills for. Anecdotally this also is the case for pets. My parents pug got some kind of nerve damage and the otc stuff did nothing but they went to a dispensary and got some low dose drops and the little guy is fine now…probably more than fine I mean if he starts singing Ragae I’m done.
