CBD oil for pain
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.

@lisalucier @peggyn @maryshipley Hello everyone. I began about 2-3 weeks ago on CBD pure oil purchased from my regular drugstore. The dosage is 20ml of oil under the tongue for 1 minute and then swallow. You can take it when you need it. I have been taking it twice a day. I follow up with a hot caffeinated drink The oil is different from the tincture. I have some tincture. I also have some CBD sparkling water drinks which contain 10ml. They are handy if you are not at home.CBD does not make me feel drowsy or high.It soothes pain in a subtle gentle way. I haven't been on for a year because Ihave been so very ill. The headache that i discussed last year did not go away.No medicine worked and the pain began to spread throughout my body, anyway that is another post and i just wanted to mention that the stunning thing about CBD oilis that after 19 years on heavy doses of insulin, My body appears to be able to use my own insulin again. It happened suddenly, so if you are a diabetic, caution is very important, you will have to watch your glucose very carefully.

1 Reaction@peggyn If you have chronic pain it is helpful to use it everyday. I told my internist about it and put it on my list of meds.You do not have to build it up. Used correctly it begins working in 15 minutes.It is important to use it correctly and the oil seems the best.It is pure hemp oil from an American farm that i am using. It is only sold at drugstores. You need to know what you are using the same way you would look for any supplement and check the source. Pure Hemp oil tastes yucky, I wouldn't mix it with food I mix it with a teaspoon or two of fruit juice. Food would slow down the response time. I mistyped the dose in my other post: i purchased a 1000ml bottle of pure hemp oil and you use one dropper full which supplies 20 mg of oil. That is a dose.I paid $140, but 1000ml lasts a long time. If you are diabetic watch your glucose carefully. Drink plenty of fluids.Tell your regular doctor that you are using it. This is a a natural substance ,comparable to using aspirin or turmeric. Don't expect a sudden jolt of pain relief. It offers a subtle, gentle soothing of pain when used correctly. I have no information of how it would affect a type 1 diabetic. I am a type II. Any type 1 diabetic needs to speak with their doctor before using this.

2 ReactionsCan you take CBD oil if you are also taking a cholesterol lowering drug like lipitor?
With anything
It is federally legal but left up to the states. Idaho and Mississippi are the only two holdouts, I believe.

@jeanie26 I know exactly what you mean..the best kind with no additives tastes terrible. The reason you hold it in your mouth is for quick absorption. If you mix it with food it will go straight to your belly which will delay relief time. I do this: I add it to two teaspoons of clear juice.I also learned that you have to mix it up in a real container-it goes right through the bottom of a little paper cup. I've tried a few and I find that the drugstore variety sold only by pharmacies is the best.
Sometimes it's not strong enough depending on your level of pain. I recent tried Pinnacle Hemp for the 1200mg. It works well though I am sleepy after taking it. So I only take it in the evening.
I've been reading these posts for awhile now and there's so much great information being shared. I've learned a lot just reading what others are writing about their experiences. This is my first post, so I hope I'm doing it correctly. A coworker told me about cbd and I first tried it in November 2018. I tried two brands that were full spectrum products and it seemed even though the thc content was minimal, it aggravated my anxiety and I wanted to give up on it. I decided to try a broad spectrum product (no thc) and I found it really has been helpful. From January through April of this year I was on a downward spiral. I started using the broad spectrum product in April and I really was surprised that it helped me. I was dealing with depression, anxiety, anorexia, and a graves disease flare up. I've noticed my mood is better. I'm not having weird mood swings. I sleep better. I am hoping to eventually stop taking clonazepam and am needing that med much less now. I've tried antidepressants in the past with no success. CBD oil and cbd gummies have really surprised me by helping me. It's intimidating to try a new product especially when there aren't any dosage guidelines and it's hard to find the right product, but I'm glad I didn't give up. I really thought nothing was going to ever help.
