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.

Is the CBD oil a topical or edible in an oil base, and what type of THC gummies do you take at night? Are the gummies for pain or sleep? Do you need to be in a Medical Marijuana program to buy these products?
thanks.

The CBD is a oil base flavored in lemon from Charlottes Web in Colorado. The THC gummies are made by Verano and say "Hybrid on the label and the initials RSO on the front. I use these for pain and sleep. I take 1/2 or 1 at one hour before bed. I was using the wrong ones before and was surprised not much relief. These relax my muscles and nerves so the burning pain is not so intense. Sleep 8+ hours most night now!!! You do not need a MMC but if you have one in NJ you get an additional 10% off + my senior citizen's discount. Hope I answered all your questions? Maureen

I found CBD alone to have minimal affect on my arthritis pain. Of course, I may not have taken a high enough dose, consistently, to produce good results. I found a 4:1 ratio of indica CBD/THC worked better.

I use THC oil from dispensary. Somewhat expensive but I find it works on my joints especially with Ibuprofen type creams.

I am a lung transplant recipient which means I cannot take any forms of Ibuprofen, aspirin etc...
I have found CBD to have some benefit but with pain killers as well. I personally take Paracetemol/Codeine 500mg/30mg x2 and Tramadol Slow Release 200mg x1, two to three times daily when not taking CBD of a morning and THC/CBD of an evening when I am not going to drive.
The CBD is 220mg with terpenes and 0 THC and I take 0.5mg.
The CBD/THC is 25mg /25mg and I take 0.5mg.
If I am to be honest the CBD/THC works better for pain relief but is not suitable for anyone who needs to drive or operate machinery.
I hope this helps you.

I forgot to mention when taking the CBD and the CBD/THC I have found days where I am only taking pain killers once or twice a day. My source of pain is three herniated discs I have been dealing with for 20+years and after the lung transplant, neuropathy down my left leg.

I found 20:1 CBD/TCH works excellent! Go through a dispensary not online through a merchant!

This obviously works for some people but it did nothing for me. I tried combo thc/cbd products and each separately but got nothing but a smaller bank account. The dispensary can't take cards so you have to bring cash. My doctor suggested I try them because nothing else worked. The only thing that helps at all is hydrocodone and I don't want to be taking much of that. I now use air-activated heat patches on my hip and lidocaine patches on my thigh then take ibuprofen or Aleeve. I can then tolerate being up and about for a few hours.

It only made me dizzy. No relief from constant headache.
