CBD oil for pain

Posted by timfitz @timfitz, Jul 19, 2016

After trying opiates, and lyrica, and mostly just suffering I tried sublingual CBD which is from the marijuana plant, but has no THC in it, you don't get high. It was very very effective. Not only did it reduce my pain at least 75%, it has a calming effect on the anxiety produced in those of us with chronic pain by the fact we have it. I do recommend it.... Be sure it is from a reliable source. You don't need to smoke anything or get high.

I'm scared to death of it - I had a very bad reaction (vertigo, blinding headache, fever blisters) when I tried marijuana in the 1970's; it happened again when I tried hash; I was on the floor for 2 hours scared that I was dying. People have told me that this new CBD stuff doesn't have THC but I don't know whether it was the THC or something else that made me so ill. Peggy

That's too bad . My cardiologist's daughter is on medical cannabis for headaches. But, like prescription meds everyone reacts differently. I have had a headache for quite a while but it's Tinnitus , another problem that many seniors face, no cure and they haven'e a clue how it starts. Tinnitus comes and goes. Ugh !

I use a 50/50 Cbd THC mix. It works well for pain, I buy it in capsules. $80 for 60, I use 1 a day.

You wan to get the Indica.....I use the Indica tincture mix for sleep and pain.....during the day I use just CBD tincture, if there is a latge % of any THC in it I can't tolerate it.....Indica is calming and staiva is more for depression.....I tired an equal amount of THC and he CBD oil but that was not for me. Those at the dispensary say that smoking the cannabis effects the pain the fastest. I tried it one day and really did not want to smoke it again...the tincture's are the best for me even the Indica edibles worked well for sleep and pain. And, although it's medical , insurance does not cover it and it is very expensive especially when trying to find out what works best. It's a cash business, no credit or debit cards, strictly cash.

I hoped that using a small amount of thc would help me with pain and I could take less pain meds. I can’t tolerate it at all. Even small amounts make me very dizzy and nauseated.

I was hoping that might be the answer but I get so sick that it’s worse than the pain. My CRPS affects my equilibrium and I get off balance anyway. I tried gummies, oil with a vape pen and the old fashioned way.
