Here is some discussion of it from a few months ago:

There is more discussion if you go back farther.

Personally, I have not used CBD oil yet. Therapy and Prozac seem to be doing it well enough for me that I'm holding off on changing up my medication.

I've heard different things from different people (just like with everything!). I think it is highly personal. I tried it for a little while, and I think it helped me relax but didn't impact my OCD symptoms as much as an SSRI. In all honesty, I tried CBD because I was afraid of SSRI's. However, once I started taking them, I realized how much they can help, and I've been lucky to have very few side effects. SSRI and ERP is currently my method of choice, but I think we all have different things that work for our bodies. I'll be curious to hear your thoughts!
