It is not useless at all in taking CBD oil or capsules because to take out the T.H.C makes it legal for us to take now, also the T.H.C only gave the high feeling but what is left is the medical properties that Oh! just help heal Cancer and Pain, Seizures etc and it has been proven to do this, so Daniel , I would suggest that if moaning about the lack of T.H.C then stick to the usual. It does heal and help pain. FACT!!

I have osteoarthritis in both my knees, I have started to use CBD oil and had an immediate improvement, the pain was unbearable and couldn't get off my sofa by myself after ONLY taking it 3 times I would say it was 30per cent better give it a go what you got to loose..
