CBD generally doesn’t do much without THC. That being said, putting chemicals into your body is putting chemicals into your body. Better to use something that has peer reviewed research behind it imo.
I will add that therapy effectiveness depends more on the quality of the provider and your relationship with that provider than the type of therapy you engage in (CBT, DBT, etc). Just like medications, sometimes it takes a few tries to find the right fit. Medication will be most effective when paired with therapy and vice versa.
Lack of research into THC is wholly due to moral panic. Weed was criminalized and legislated into the ground preventing it from being researched (not eligible for research grants or normal funding).
I can easily say it helped with my anxiety. So one anecdotal data point in support.
CBD does a lot without THC, it's just not psychoactive. So it won't make you feel high but it will certainly relax you and ease mild pains.
