Marijuana oil -- effectiveness for health issues

sorry, no insult intend, just my poor attempt at humor

 

I hate homework!

I recently discarded all of my CBD (and related) products, as none of them were working for my long-term financial anxiety and were instead costing me money.

Maybe for others CBD/THC products will help for their conditions, if they are really truly extreme. But not for me.

 

'no brainer' is the perfect description for bubba

 

I should clarify: I have found that CBD tinctures "sort of" work... from my experience, CBD isolates wake me up more, whereas full-spectrum calms me a bit, since all of the cannabinoids and naturally-extracted terpenes work together better.
At this point, I may experiment with other methods of CBD intake (e.g., vapes or chocolates). Thing is, these do get expensive after a while anyway.

I just gave the article a quick glance. The FDA is increasingly in a position to take a stance on CBD products; however, their decision will be to make a profit off the companies that sell CBD supplements. You can see this already as CBD prices on nearly everything jumped last month (also demand has increased).

 

Checking back in with an update. When it comes to any drug I've always believed that less is better but take what you actually need. The CBD got me through a rough patch and back on my feet but I was always hoping it would be a temporary thing or something to be taken occasionally on an "as needed" basis. I've cut down to 3 mg twice a day right now and using 400 mg of naproxen preemptively if I'm going to do something I know will trigger more pain (long drive in the car, swinging a golf club, etc.). Heat and ice packs continue to be a part of my life multiple times a day.

For me, CBD was (and is) a great help. I consider my experiment with it a success. Every person and every situation is different, however, and I personally believe it should be something used as a "last resort" part of drug therapy pending a lot more peer reviewed study.

 

I'm really glad it is working for you. I do have a bit of a warning for you though. Do research on that particular product and don't just take her word or the company printout as to the purity of the product. Many creams, salves and oils (not just CBD products) are loaded with contaminants or hidden ingredients that are a lot worse for you in the long run. Make sure the product isn't poisoning you slowly while it eases your pain.

 

I got my medical marijuana card last year. I have trouble falling asleep and found the THC INDICA TINCTURE
really does the job. Hour after taking it it’s sleepy time and fall asleep very fast and no hangover in the am.

There’s 2 kinds of Cbd oil. One is over the counter with no regulation of purity of product. The other kind is what you buy at the licensed marijuana dispensary that is highly regulated for both quality and potency.
That stuff is expensive.

A true test of effectiveness can only be made with a regulated and guaranteed product. But everyone is different and may see some level of effectiveness with over the counter. Placebo may play a big part of personal results. CBD oil has quickly become big business.

It’s like probiotic pills. There’s thousands of probiotic product in vitamin stores. The only probiotic that has a regulation of guaranteed potency is ALIGN. Probiotic must have a regulation code on it or it’s horse hockey. In ALIGNs case that code is 35624. Align is expensive but it’s the most healthy thing you should take it really boosts immunity.
In fact years ago my gastroenterologist wrote me a script for it.

 

No don’t be worried it sure can’t hurt and you may be seeing some improvement. But if you are actually seeing some improvement you will really see improvement with the state controlled product but it’s not cheap.
Keep in mind it’s all the rage so caveat emptor. It would be interesting
To see there docs though. But doubt they have any,

Here At local licensed dispensaries a small 24ml bottle of Cbd is $50.

 

For instance search my local dispensary’s:

TRULIEVE
MUV
CURALEAF

 

There’s lots of discussion of the over the counter effectiveness of Cbd oil which is derived from hemp where licensed dispensaries Cbd use marijuana strain with no thc properties.
I have never tried over the counter Cbd but have used the licensed and it tastes just like marijuana. But the cost was prohibitive.

But if I was busted up like you I would use anything I could.Hang in there kiddo your a tough chick.

 

Glad it is working for you. Chronic conditions ( especially chronic pain ) can really suck..to put it lightly.

 

it's about time someone in the science world took this seriously and did some studies.

even if placebo works, it works.

 

Hello CyberpriusII,
I have been reading your posts for quite awhile. I really wish you the best in your recovery. My family has recently gone thru a major life changing challenge (my adult son) that has shown me just how special every day that you have is! His situation is a daily challenge, and it is in regards to brain recovery. It appears that your rambling is completely normal for someone who has gone thru and continue to progress thru. I appreciate your candor, honesty and openess regarding your situation. You have given me strength for me and how I react to my son. Thank you.
