While some CBD products I do believe to be snake oil, what basis do you have for products containing both CBD and THC to only being effective as a placebo? CBD isn’t truly effective without THC and the THC is what basically turns the snake oil into a legitimately effective product. Additionally, everyone’s sensitivity to marijuana differs and while skin absorption may be “low” that does not mean none and even the effects of a low amount can be felt.

Truly what? Based on what evidence? 10 mg of pure CBD in a lipid sublingual tincture is calming if you've ever tried it. Easily distinguishable from placebo.
