CBD Oil (Cannabidoil)

My friend's husband gave it a try as he wasn't sleeping due to back pain.it helped enormously!!

I know of a wee baby with multiple health problems, who has it to prevent seizures. It seems to be helping, but the parents have to purchase it themselves every month.

Thank you both for responding so quickly - and positively! How wonderful that it's helped the people whom you know.

I also know of an older child with autism and epilepsy who has been helped by it.
The worst I've heard about the oil is that some people don't notice any easing of their problems. I've never heard of adverse effects.

I would think it would be wonderful if it can be manufactured for health and with the ‘hit’ taken out of it and if it proved helpful good luck to anyone I wouldn’t know where to buy it though as I don’t trust internet health tablets etc so it would need to be from a proper pharmacy is it licensed ?

I think Holland and Barretts sell it.

Yes, H & B sell it and also Healthspan. No doubt, others will follow now that it's been approved.

It's available as oil and also capsules. It sounds as though it tastes awful, hence the capsules being available!

Personally, I don't care what it tastes like as long as it helps!

My mum had a little e cig type contraction, which had no taste, and didn't make her cough.
I think it was all too late for her various health problems though.

What is it lisenced for ...pain relief ?

As far as I know it’s a food supplement, so no need to be licensed. I’m on my third day of taking it, so I’ll let you know.

There is a UK licensed cannabis product - here you go:

I don't know anything about it other than having heard about it ...

According to the MHRA website it is licensed as a medicine. Pain relief would just be part of its medicinal use presumably.

I know a consultant (forgotten his name as I forget everyones name now ) at our local hospital was the first person to make it usuble for pain relief

sadly didn't help my daughters fibromyalgia at all.Its not the medical strength thats on sale in Holland and Barrett ..and other health shops ,its a lower potency.There is a need for medical cannabis to be licensed here as it gets fantastic reviews .The Scottish government is agreeable to it being availabel but its not a devolved matter so we need to wait for WM to move forward with it....that mmay take a long time .

We're lagging behind a lot of places with regard to legal cannabis.

Remembered his name Will Notcutt and he did the trials 20 years ago for pain management

Sorry 10 years ago, bloody edit button WHERE IS IT .

I understand it can be taken by drops given under the tongue, but that it can leave a rather nasty dry sensation in the mouth. I have not tried it.

Don't forget potential interactions with any medications you might be taken.

My friend’s daughter takes this and swears it has significantly reduced her MS symptoms.

I have enjoyed reading about this, i have epilepsy. the side effects of the tablets are horrible never mind the epilepsy itself. My partner and i were just discussing me trying the oil. I wonder if it works then maybe i can stop my medication.
Will let you know the outcome of my trial.
Good luck everyone

It will be very interesting to hear "straight from the horses mouth", as it were, if there are positive outcomes.

I am considering it as I have trouble sleeping recently, and for recovery with knees. A young friend sells it in his shop and said he will bring me some to try soon.

I heard about this recently on an LBC radio phone-in programme, and people were singing its praises, as it is a natural source with no side effects. I'd be very interested to hear of your personal views. Good luck to those who try it!
