There is CBD that has THC in it and CBD that doesn't have THC in it and a full spectrum of ratios in between. It takes much trial and error to figure out which ratio is best for you, your child, or your animal and your doctor as this is not standardized by conventional medicine yet. However, yes you can get CBD oil without any THC nowadays and with no "high" like there is on pot at most CBD stores and almost everywhere but question is " it going to be as effective for your pain as the CBD with the small amounts of THC is?" My sister uses CBD and she keeps buying higher doses of the non THC kind and she is elated with the effects on her pain, anxiety, sleep, depression, even bi polar so that is one person's experience. I am more skeptical but I have seen a change in her demeanor when talking to her when she takes it. They say when in doubt start with a lowest dose possible and titrate up unless you are already used to using cannabis. Adding the THC will make you high and smoking it as opposed to taking it in oil or gummies will usually be stronger. Check with local authorities to find out what is legal for your state. I'm not looking to get high. I just want pain relief. I want to try it. Your link in your reply was excellent for info.
