Hemp Oil?

All that would matter to me....
....would be if it were safe and WORKED! ALL of the remedies not developed by science or doctor aren't junk. A lot of them are, but if they do the job, what the heck. I had a friend in horrible skeletal pain and he had to check himself because he was taking the opioid med way to often. I wish they had hemp oil for him to try back then. It might have made his last year much more bearable.

I think there are some whose expectations for pain relief are unrealistic. Most of us who have chronic pain probably had bad injuries. All the kings horses and all the king's men couldn't put humpty dumpty together again. Once we've busted our bodies up they can be patched but it won't ever be the same so suck it up and deal the best we can is all we can do
If you've had a compound ankle fracture with heel separated from ankle you're going to have foot pain the rest of your life. Mine was usually a 4/5 on a 1-10 scale. Now it's a 2. Torn both rotator cuffs, one is too bad for surgery and the other healed with therapy. Both usually hurt 3/4 on a 1-10 scale, now it's 1/2 or nearly painfree. Same way for a spot on my thigh that is a mass of arthritis. Could not lay on that side at all, now I can. still hurts but not nearly as bad as before.
I used to take 12-20 ibuprofen in a 24 hour period. Aleve hardly helped so it was pills every 4 hours when pain was bad. Now I seldom take any ibuprofen, less than 10 per week.
My advice in buy the 1500mg full spectrum bottle from Laura's Mercantile. it's about $80 shipped. Probably a new customer discount of 10%. Start with .25ml 3 times a day for 3 days to get used to it, then go to .50ml (half a dropper) in am and .50ml before bedtime. that gives you 25mg of cbd per day and is considered a medium strength dose. I get about 45 days out of a bottle and the used bottles have great reuse as oil containers. I've found synthetic oil applied with an eye dropper incredibly useful, just don't want to get it mixed up with the good stuff.
I like mine with my first cup of coffee. use the eye dropper and put it under your tounge. A little oily but basically tasteless. Hold it for at least 30 seconds w/out swallowing, a little longer is better. Works better absorbed sublingually. I take another .50ml about an hour before bed and have been on this routine about 6 months now. Can't see a downside.

I started this thread back in early December, and my wife has been on the hemp oil since then. It seems to be helping her arthritis pain a lot. We've been buying the 500 mg strength off eBay for about $12/1 oz dropper bottle (delivered) which is far cheaper than buying it from local sources where it runs from $40 to $50 per bottle. My wife puts about 1.5 cc in a cup of cherry yogurt every night. Sometime she mixes the oil with a mashed half-banana instead. She doesn't like the oil taste and can't take it straight. Back in December I bought some hemp oil salve, but she hasn't had the need to use it yet. She had a visit with her rheumatologist last week and his opinion is that if it helps you, use it. Apparently many are using it. Even if it is witch doctor medicine, if it helps, so what?

I worked with an older veteran nurse that would at times give clockwatching annoying Pts (that were in so much "PAIN" that they were smiling &/or sleeping) shots of saline. ALL reported great relief. I never did that & went by the standard, pain is what they say it is, but it must be coincidence that pain gets worse when visitors show up. When on the flipside, as a pt, I was a clockwatcher too.

First report. Been taking CBD oil for about 10 days or so. Back pain has diminished greatly. My BP has come down a little even while ditching one BP med.
Now I hear reports CBD oil is going mainstream.

CVS see’s $$$ signs. I see other chains like Walgreens and Rite Aid jumping in. Competition should lower the price.
I would caution anyone that may have to take a drug test for any reason to be cautious. This stuff is naturally the rage in hippy infested Vermont, and it's been in the news locally that some have lost their jobs because some of this stuff is not as advertised, it has trace amounts of THC
Not believing that sorry.
The standard employment DT is not sensitive enough to detect trace amounts. The minute amount you may ingest from herbal oil that has supposedly had the THC removed would not show on a standard piss test.
BT maybe but even then youd have to rub a lot of the stuff on you to absorb enough if any to reach detectable levels.

Believe it or don't believe it, doesn't matter to me one way or the other. Simply stating what is being reported here, because the key word in your reply is the word "Supposedly"...and what you don't believe is that not all of it is coming through with all the THC removed. It's called quality control, and some manufacturers don't have it. But no matter, I'm sure the people that lost their job are all wrong.

I have been using CBD oil for about 5 weeks now & it works . I have (or had) severe arthritis in wrists, knees,back and ankles. It works.
Pain is minimal now & no longer Have to take Bayer Extra Strength. I dd a bit of research and I use "Hemp Bombs"which follows European Standards which are stricter then US.

Hemp Bomb cbd oil is considerably more expensive than Laura's Mercantile and there are no producers that have as much independent 3rd party analysis as LM and LM is in control of their product at all stages from seeds to finished product. Hemp Bomb buys their industrial hemp from 3rd parties but LM is all Kentucky grown by them.
Anecdote coming up. One of my NGD buddies and rburg's usual table pard was talking about using cbd oil. Said it made him feel too good and he would do things that made him sore when it wore off.
Is that a bad thing? My thoughts are to take another dose when it starts wearing off.

This from va.gov:
The Health and Medicine Division (formally known as the Institute of Medicine) of the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine concluded in its report "Veterans and Agent Orange: Update 2008" released July 24, 2009, that there is "suggestive but limited evidence that exposure to Agent Orange and other herbicides used during the Vietnam War is associated with an increased chance of developing Parkinson's disease."
As a result, VA recognized Parkinson's disease as associated with exposure to Agent Orange or other herbicides during military service. VA's final regulation recognizing this association took effect on October 30, 2010.
My friend (I mentioned has parkinsons) was in RVN ‘66-‘68
He doesn’t have to take urine tests, and it clearly helps him with the tremors, so....I’m cool with it.

Free shipping from LM and they don't charge sales tax. I order mine online and usually arrives within a week.
Ummm,
BELIEVE IT!!
Just had a person lose their job yesterday, cause of it.
Company policy is ZERO TOLERANCE.
It does show up in a standard test.
