This isn't exact science that I'm using but I did some reading and it kind of made me wonder how little you may be getting.
With the Canadian licenced dispencery CBD oil, patients are dosing just a few drops of oil. I know a lot of pain patients are saying they prefer the oil, and that most of those patients have lots of pain, but their pain is managed with just a few drops. I would be curious to know just how many droppers of the OTC oil would it
take for them to get equivilent CBD content? A dropper sounds like an awful lot.

Thank you for your reply, I have stopped using the CBD altogether. I just don't trust it. I used it the first time and I didn't notice much of a change in my pain level but I did notice a general malaise feeling. I tried it again and shortly after I became sick, I was vomiting, a fever of 102 F which tylenol took care of ,and my IBS was out of control. I went to the hospital ER and other than the usual pain and IBS symptoms, the only thing they found was low sodium caused by dehydration. yet I felt really sick. They gave me percocet for pain and Zofran for nausea and sent me home. I am much better now and am back to work after missing 3 days. I doubt that the CBD had much to do with my getting sick but it does seem strange that every time I took it I felt bad afterward. Anyway between the taste and the feeling of illness after taking it, just made me rethink the whole thing. I do not feel comfortable about anyone taking CBD in the US. you were absolutely right, about the dosage and I feel it needs to be better monitored and researched. Thanks again for your reply.

Is the Canadian CBD the same strength as down here? It's hard to compare without knowing this.
I use 1-2 ml BID orally. I also use, for break-thru pain, an atomizer of a different formula as the former. 1-2 sprays sub-lingual prn. I have rarely had to use the atomizer due to the pain relief I get from the oral.

I take a 50/50 solution of THC and CBD, 2cc orally twice per day and for breakthrough pain I take THC SL. It REALLY helps with my pain.
