Is smoking CBD against recovery?

Recovery

MAT which is medication assisted treatment, often called harm reduction, is a proven successful method of entering sobriety for many many people. Treatments like suboxone or methadone used to get off opiates can be successful. I could think CBD or even (gulp) California sobriety can fall into this category.

For many of us the goal is to eliminate anything that takes us out of the present moment. But no 2 recoveries are the same and what works for some won’t work for others. If CBD with .9% thc helps you stop killing yourself with booze and drugs, do your thing.

Most of the full spectrum CBD products don't have enough to even get high from. I take a full spectrum for a stomach problem. If it helps with anxiety and you aren't over using it I would say you are OK, from a non doctor's view. I would definitely include your doctor in a discussion about it.

I agree with the smoking cannabis thought, however most CBD products are hemp oil derived. I could smoke hemp all day and only hurt my lungs since the amount of THC in it is too low to create a buzz.

Is CBD like non alcoholic beer?

Not quite. Cannabinoids (CBD) are completely non intoxicant, however they have a wide range of medical applications. I.e used to treat pain, anxiety, cancer, inflation, and insomnia. There is a vast array of studies showing the medicinal properties of CBD. Most CBD products are derived through hemp, this being the only reason they are legal in all 50 states.
