Hi, I’m new on this chat so please any help would be great. I also have MAC since 2012 and was on meds for 6 months. I got really sick and had to stop. I’m always so tired and and can’t do much of what I use to do. I have lost 40 pounds and feel very weak. Just need to talk with someone who understands this disease. Thanks.

@yayaaz, Hi, this is Brigby, I just rec’d the Hemp Oil I ordered on amazon and I am taking 1-2 dropper full orally 2x daily. So far I don’t notice any changes/improvement with my arthritis/inflammation, or the amount of phlegm/sinus mucus I have.

brigby…… thank you for your post. Would you please post again after you've taken it a while and let us know. Besides bronchiectasis, I have tremendous arthritis that nothing seems to help

Must be why I always err on the side of caution! Thank you Colleen.

@megan I agree with you it is a personal choice.  It cost my friend 2000$ and she saidit was a steel and she live in hell when using it.  My cousin has a prescription for pain and it is a pill prescription for fibromyalgia  and said it work very good for her.

 All I am saying is be careful With CBD. Nick

Hi brigby. I had a lot of mucus also. I finally started taking Clear Lung faithfully and it has really helped.Worth a try.

@brigby @auntnanny I have RA and have been using CBD oil for over a year...in that time I've tried the top brands (Bluebird Botanicals; Highland Pharms), little impact. Moved to the best, Charlotte's Web Advanced (has more THC which is key) which finally helped... You must take it regularly (daily) and it then takes a few months to make a distinct difference.

@nick52 CBD oil is legal in all 50 states and 5 territories...wouldn't be able to buy online if it were not...I've been getting it for over a year now and the Sheriff hasn't come a knockin'...

@boomerexpert THANK YOU that is very helpful!

Hi @boomerexpert
The legality of CBD oil is very murky. It can be sold online, but that doesn't make it legal everywhere. The person ordering the CBD oil has to follow the rules of their state or country of residence. This article may help clarify:
FDA – 17 States with Laws Specifically about Legal Cannabidiol (CBD) https://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=006473
Passing a CBD-specific law is not necessarily the equivalent of making medical marijuana legal because these laws do not legalize use of the marijuana plant for medical purposes.

Also you may be interested in the FDA warning letters from November 2017 that were sent to CBD companies, including Colorado company known for the popular “Charlotte’s Web” cannabidiol-rich extract. https://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2017/ucm583192.htm

I'm not trying to be contradictory or pick a fight. Rather I wish to point out that, in this unregulated territory, it is important to know one's rights and do one's homework.

boomerexpert ……. thanks so much for taking the time to post your experience with CBD...…. have been thinking about it
