CBD Oil (Cannabidoil)

CBD Oil is obtained from cannabis, but has had the 'trippy' part removed and is perfectly legal!

Just wondering if anyone has tried this and whether they've had any benefit from it?

I have M.E. and I'm thinking of trying it to relieve some of the symptoms.

It's recently hit the headlines as being the universal panacea for all ills, but I've been reading up on it and it does actually sound as though it can be quite beneficial.

I realise that people's bodies react differently, but just thought it might be useful to get opinions from GNs who've actually tried it!

Horses for courses Begentle! That's not very helpful of me, but it's trial and error. The usual advice is to start on a low % and increase as necessary.

I know of many people who take CBD oil (THC free so no 'high' and also legal) - for COPD, fibromyalgia, and various other illnesses with great success - although I know that the CBD you can buy at H & B and from many online sellers isn't potent enough to make much difference. Buy with great caution and do your investigation thoroughly is my advice, but don't be afraid to try it.

Coolgran
I'm what most would discibe as 'respectable folk' but for years we had to buy 'illegal' cannabis for my friend with MS.
It was the only 'medicine' that eased the pain.

I have RA and I have been taking CBD oil for a few months now, and I definitely see a difference. I started with tincture, but the drops are hard to measure, so I went with capsules. I started with one 15mg capsule, but after a couple of weeks I increased it to 2 - 15mg capsules before bed.
Normally joint pain makes it very hard to fall asleep, and stay asleep but now I sleep like a dream most nights and I wake up much more relaxed and I think the inflammation in my joints is less too.

I do take prednisone daily for the last 4 yrs, but so far I have not had to increase my dosage this year, amazing.

It's much cheaper than the RA meds the Dr wants me to take, the meds are around $2400 to $4800 a month and have horrible side effects but CBD is only about $75 a month and no side effects at all for me at all.

As long as it keeps working, I'll keep taking it. I buy mine online and they ship it to me, but now that I know what strength and what type I use, I'm going to check out some local shops around here that sell it and see if the price is better.

Alternative medicine is more accepted nowadays due to its promising results unlike pharmaceutical medicine, alternative medicine doesn’t give a negative effect such as kidney and liver problems when it comes to long term use. As for my alternative medicine usage, I use medical marijuana. The different strain has a variety of uses and effect depending on your needs. Like this marijuana strain www.gyo.green/cali-connection-deadhead-og-con-dog-f.html. This strain has a very potent effect on chronic pains like back pain and joint pain and a lot more. The benefits of marijuana, specifically the THC cannabinoid, are undeniable. Let's take a look at all of the ways THC is helping patients every day.
