CBD oil can only be prescribed in very rare cases here in New Zealand. If someone is in intense pain for which no other pain relief works.

It's illegal to import it, although I am hoping the successes in the UK might waken up the bureaucrats so we can buy online some day.

I use real cbd paste from cbd brothers, only a tiny bit on a teaspoon, lick the spoon. The stuff in shops is very weak and not worth buying

I m told the amount in the H&B capsules is negligible
Like bluesky I m a bit of a sceptic about this as it seems the new thing to be trendy and is maybe a chance for the herbal companies to build their monetary empire I m not however doubting that cannabis oil may well have healing properties

I bought cbd capsules from H&B.

How do you take it crafty one and Missfoodlove. I bought a bottle from H and B for one of my dogs, who sadly died. This grim damp weather seems to be exacerbating my aches and sore knees. Would I use a drop in a cup of herbal tea?

I’m 10 days in and my knees were less creaky at the gym today?

works better than paracetamol, taken cbd today, the dank wet weather is making my joints ache. It has worked and I am now comfortable

CBD oil seems to have become the remedy for all ills. I wonder how much is really helping or people become convinced that it does help? Still it won't harm trying it.

I'm giving hemp oil to my arthritic dog, as well as prescribed anti inflamatories. I don't know which one is having the greatest effect, but she is definately less stiff and more mobile.

The THC has been removed, so she won't become psychotic.

Is anyone using this? Interested to know if it works and what the side effects are.
