CBD/hemp oil, anybody use it?

Its nothing but a placebo, some say it changes them but I see its a coincidence and they are doing something else right but over looking it-its unregulated, untested and no one knows what long term side effects it will cause down the road. I here BS like it natural------well yeah so isnt cyanide, tobacco, venom just to begin with.

Just another crazy fad that will go away soon. Waste of money....but in the very least it puts food on the table of the manufacturers right?
THC and CBD terms are just a marketing gimmick to hook you in better.

If some believe its their hero then who am I to judge. Its just that I will never waste a dime on CBD myself.

You are right in that it is unregulated. Dr. Oz (if you can believe him) had a show about it. No one regulates CBD, doctors have no basis for prescribing it since no official testing has been done and most importantly, CBD suppliers can put unregulated toxins in it just as easily as the pure stuff. According to Oz, testing of different suppliers turned up everything from pure product to product with little to no CBD but actually had toxin in it (note the airhead that put some in a vape pen and almost died).

So it's just a coincidence then that my psoriasis sore on my led for the last 10 years treated by several doctors with expensive cortisone creams
went away when I use hemp oil on it for 30 days.

What I say is going to doctors who prescribe expensive creams is just another crazy fad that will go away soon.

Speaking on venom I hope you are aware that they use venom to treat several illnesses. Cyanide is used to make paper, textiles, and plastics.

Tobacco-produced gene products are not on the market yet -- but they're coming. Among the substances in development are new antibiotics, biodegradable plastics, a tooth-protecting solution and cancer drugs. All are being created and produced inside the ''evil weed.''

Educate yourself before condemning something.

I like to use a CBD painstick to help heal some of the pains I have in my lower back. It works for me just be sure you're buying from a trustworthy brand.

One caution I saw on a special the other day is with internally taking CBD is that it can increase or decrease the effect of other medicines you are taking by affecting how they are metabolized in the liver. If you take a drug that cautions against consuming grapefruit (that apparently effect the liver enzymes in a similar way) you should avoid CBD internally.

My wife tried some cbd cream for a neck problem that causes her pain, didn't seem to help her, i tried it on a sore wrist, to no effect too. I don't personally know anybody that has used CBD for pain relief, that has found relief, but they didn't have any bad effects either.

I have no interest in it, but as I mentioned earlier, the results for my wife have been dramatic. If a placebo can help with diarrhea every day, allow her to have normal bowel movements and eliminate the cramps and painful reactions to foods, then it's a pretty fantastic placebo. While she has been cancer free for over a year now, the damage from the chemo and radiation was significant. She might never recover fully fro it and her doctors say that this might be her new normal. But there is also a significant difference in how she feels and how her gut deals with food when compared to before she started taking it and afterwards.

As a BSRN for 30 years, she isn't a big fan of fads or cure-alls. Snake oil type products have been out there forever. CBD oil is getting a lot of attention right now, and she spent a good month researching it and what to look for before buying it. She also went to a place that knew what they are talking about. My wife has to Masters Degrees and will get her PhD in December. She's smarter them most people and understands medicine better then almost everyone. I once sat through dinner with her talking to a Pharmacist about different meds available in our country and in South Africa, and how they are distributed. She lives for that type of stuff!!

If CBD oil didn't do anything for you, and you bought the right type from a reputable supplier, then that's that. But to suggest that people shouldn't give it a try is very bad advice. It's not that expensive, and for those that it has helped, the improvement has been very real.

I think that it is standard operating procedure to tell your Doctor of any Medications you are taking; Doctor or Self Perscribed.
Some people think they will be embarrassed when telling the doctor but I don't think the Doctor cares if you are doing THC or CBDs but they do want to know, to adjust meds accordingly or tell you to eliminate the self prescribed medications because of problems that might arise.

Talk to your Doctors, tell them what you are thinking about and want to know of any interactions... it worked for me. My Doctor told me approximately what I wrote above, he does ask if I am used the products when I come in but other than that he doesn't appear to care.

I had a Doctor back in MA and this was before CBDs, he sometimes suggested a reduced use of a THC Product, 1 to 16 delusion, then it is up to the individual whether to use it or not !

Anyhow... check with your doctors before changing or adding ANY medications.

I have not researched this but I was told that CBD products may effect drug screens say for commercial drivers.

I personally do not do well on pain meds say after an operation so I would be open to trying CBD if I was in unbearable pain. Otherwise, I see it as part of that "wild west" supplement industry.

I had to redo a couple words and since I can't EDIT my own postings, I had to QUOTE it, then change the words; we need to address this problem.

That is odd. I can edit my own posts, that is the purpose of it.
