People ingest it, yes. my father-in-law preferred the effects of CBD over his hallucination medication, but couldn't take it because it interacted badly with his blood-pressure medication. He got some sort of mesh (sorry can't remember what) implanted which eliminated the use of his BP meds, and now he can replace his hallucination meds with CBD.
He's in his late 70s, and lived hard (enjoyed every minute of it, but still).
