I don’t think you understand what “snake oil” means.
CBD products
Most of them.
Television. I cannot understand why anyone would willingly pay money to be advertised to constantly.
Anything sold by Gwyneth Paltrow in her online shop, which I will not name here so as not to promote it. In the best case, goods sold there will be harmless and entirely useless. In the worst case, they will cause serious harm.
Organic food versus GMOs. I think big farma is in on the organic food prices and put false narratives about the dangers of gmo foods.

CBD oil. I bought some about 5 years ago and it did nothing but grease up my tongue
CBD oil. It doesn’t matter which exotic ailment you’re talking about, someone will ask you if you’ve tried it and that they think it might help.
Also, CBD honestly needs the same warnings as Grapefruit since it works on the same metabolic pathways and can decrease effectiveness of certain drugs.
…like my cancer drugs.
If your drugs say to avoid grapefruit… You should probably consider skipping CBD as well.
oh, that’s useful info…
And pomegranate too, at least for my anti-rejection meds.
Had a patient with a really bad reaction to a topical chemotherapy agent because he was moisturizing with CBD oil and wasn’t telling anyone about it. In trying to understand what was going on, it turns out that CBD specifically slows the metabolism of this particular chemotherapy, so it was building up in his skin.
Oi vey tell me about it.
I’ve gotten way more wary about the stuff I put in my body since I got on these cancer drugs.
Increased depression is actually a symptom of my cancer, and I had a lot of hallucinogenic mushroom caps I had stored away for a rainy day, and a friend suggested maybe that would help. Recent studies as well as our own personal experiences spoke to the idea that a good “trip” can help alleviate depression.
But my immediate reaction was… there’s basically been no studies done on the interactions between psilocybin and the drug I am taking. Literally, who the fuck knows what could happen? The reminder that I had them actually lead me to give them away because, fuck me, I’m not risking it.
Yeah, a lot of the chemicals in mushrooms tend to metabolize through the liver, and so do so many other drugs. Good job, taking care of yourself. Best of luck.
Thanks for the kind words. Cheers.
CBD does … something. It makes me sleepy. So at least for some people it can serve as a sleep aid.
Not to me though I just tried it out of curiosity, I have no desire to be even more sleepy
It gave me massive munchies and not much else.
That could be because it’s an unregulated product, and you were getting THC.
In this case I would doubt it, since it was sold in the Swedish market, where THC is illegal. It could however have been some bullshit of some other kind.
I’ve seen one of those fake bottles. It seemed too cheap to me so I looked up the ingredient dosage and it was near nothing. Real cbd oil is quite expensive.
Personally I can recommend cbd pills. It’s easy and you can dose it very precisely to your liking. In the nl you can get them over the counter, as is the case in many other places I imagine.
this is the first thing that came to my mind too….
there is some medicinal value to it, but usually not what they claim it to be, and usually not in the form that it’s in….
Rich Dad, Poor Dad
There was no ‘Rich Dad’, it’s all made up snake-oil.
Upward mobility
Insurance corporations
Chiropractic anything. John Oliver covered it quite well.
Most antidepressant usage. Many of those people do not have a chemical problem in their brain, they are just unhappy due to all the societal problems. You can’t treat social problems with a chemical.
