I use CBD oil for my inflammatory condition (Ankylosing Spondylitis) and I can assure you I don't get any sort of "high" or "buzz" from it. I don't take narcotics of any sort, period.
CBD Oil is also perfectly legal and available in many local drug stores, some drug chains and on Amazon.Com.
Surely if it wasn't legal it wouldn't be on Amazon.

Product available from national chains is “hemp oil” which contains NO CBD. I saw this at Kroger/Fred Meyer a few days ago. Many people buy these thinking they’re getting a medicinal ingredient, but they aren’t.
I use CBD oil also, obtained either from hemp or marijuana (I live in a legalized state). It is entirely non-psychoactive, as you say. For me it works remarkably well as an anti-spasm agent. There is no difference chemically in the CBD obtained from marijuana or hemp.
