My Bottle of Medical CBD says take .5 mg to 1.0. I take the 1.0 mg of the 20 CBD to 1 THC ratio.
Caution to anyone taking the 1 to 1 ration THC to CBD, it can hit you like edibles. Use a small amount, it takes up to an hour before you feel it. Also if you have anxiety, the less THC the better, it can raise your anxiety level to very uncomfortable. THC on the salve aka topical products is awesome, has no effect for a high!, but is powerful on nerves and body pain. CBD/THC topical salves also can also work miraculous on body or nerve pain. Kind regards!
Agree. The topicals are great for pain. Work quickly and last Approximately 3/4 hours. I’ve not used any CBD or THC products internally as I am concerned about effects on my heart medication and blood thinner.
Hi, My dad had issues because he was taking blood thinners too. He was only taking a strong topical but was putting around his neck! Ended up with profuse bleeding through the nose that would not stop. He had to stop using it. There is a long list of spices that are blood thinners as well. I guess it depends on the person, and the blood thinner. You are wise to understand that side effect can be very dangerous.
@rascaI, I goofed. I neglected to attach the link to the question, "what is the difference between hemp and CBD oil." No wonder you asked, "so which one is best?" Here you go....https://honestmarijuana.com/hemp-oil-vs-cbd-oil/.
@rascal, @Chris, This is a good article. Problem is the science gets very technical. Hemp is the cousin of Cannabis, and was used to make rope and canvas for the Navy back in the day. Stanley brothers have crossed bred it with a Charlottes Web a Cannabis plant, which was named after a girl it helped with epilepsy. So hemp sold OTC in stores legally only contain a small amount of CBD. Medical marijuana and strains cross bred with hemp can achieve different CBDS. Together they are much stronger in both THC and CBD that is not comparable to any hemp products for pain. In short the wide spectrum and content of CBD is going to come from plants with THC found in this need breed of plant called a hybrid. Not found in just pure hemp! So hemp in itself is a waste of money. Hope that helps.
Personally Xanax has helped me with the anxiety and all the other ailments to many with little time to discuss here I for one weaned myself on alot of the drugs prescribed due to the love o have for my kidneys and liver but I strongly suggest you do this under the supervision of your physician for the withdrawal's can be worse than the symptoms the reason you took them to begin with Xanax takes the edge off the pain if that makes any sense but Xanax and I alone can't deal with the constant pain and fear I will be back on opioids again soon as with most drugs of this class should be monitored by your physician good luck
Hi grannydee
i’ve been takining xanax for 10 years. I don’t even know if it’s possible for me to wean off of 6 to 8 mg every night before I go to sleep. My doctor originally prescribed it with an anti-depressant that was giving me anxiety but I have suffered anxiety attacks previously. We began at 1 mg. When I didn’t resolve the problem they pushed it to 2 mg pills. A few years went by and I was taking 2 2mg pills. here I am 10 years later and I am taking between three and 4 2mg pills. It has affected my memory etc. 1 mg pill does nothing for me, even though it has a short half-life, I’ve tried taking 1 mg during the day when I feel very edgy. I just lost my family and it’s a tough time to try to wean off but I know I’m hurting myself by tapering up instead of down. Regardless of my emotional status. I’m currently overseas for work and my job just ended but I will be here another two months so I feel a little bit trapped in a foreign country trying to figure this out. Any suggestions? Thank you for taking the time to read this:/
Would love to know the name of your doctor! 40 years ago I was diagnosed (finally) with ulcerative colitis/Crohn's and while pregnant, pneumonia, rectal bleeding and hospitalized Prednisone was the main course Iv for quite sometime then pill form that last for years that being said pain meds were out of the equation and after the birth of my daughter and much pleading it fell still falling on deaf ears the requests for relief is futile! Being an air force brat growing up my dad was tough as wit leather and he raised me to be tough sometimes to tough so for a long long time I kept quite all the while in excruciating pain! Being told there is nothing wrong with me by mainly relatives because I didn't complain to them or my doctor's has taken a different turn my name should be alongside of the long-term warning signs of steroids! What do you say or do to get the relief? The mri's, cat scans, yada yada yada should speak volumes ! 50 years plus dealing with it I'm tired
