Craig_ Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Kickback, anyone had any experience with CBD oil at all? Used to enjoy the odd puff when I was younger, but it's not really compatible with my attempts to be athletic and manage family life nowadays. Quitr intrigued to hear people's thoughts, as I'm sure most of us could do with something to help us chill out a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlimOzturk Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 CBD oil doesn't have THC in it so it doesn't make you "chill" out in the same way a blunt will. If that is your expectation from using CBD oils and other associated products your wasting your time. The stuff helps with chronic pain but it isn't a cure. I have used it to help with back strain caused by bad posture whilst working but only by learning to stand and walk properly, proper physio was I able to "cure" it. Useful stuff but the hype surrounding it is a bit much for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig_ Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 Yeah, I'm aware of that. Wasn't about to crack out the Bob Martley albums! Still seems to be a consensus that it's relaxing and good for anxiety/sleep disorders etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homme Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 My girlfriend has hypermobility and pain throughout every joint in her body. They did test for rheumatoid arthritis but came back negative (although we've been told that early tests often do) She's only 33 and is facing the prospect of giving up her career in nursing, which she started as a mature student. Is there any chance CBD could work? It really seems like last chance saloon for her before spending the rest of her life in pain (it's already been 2 years). Anyone?

She hates it and hates the thought of it too, its pretty much morphine only in patch form and way, way stronger. Not even working yet either. We were giving this a chance then going to look into CBD.

My brother used cannabis oil (stuff he had brought in from abroad) throughout his fourth round of chemo and reckoned it helped a fair bit. Dunno if it's the same stuff though.

Probably no difference and need to decide if for you before getting into the finer points. It really depends on what you want to use it for. If just for general mood and first time, looking in drop or spray. If maybe for joint or similar a paste or cream would be more appropriate. It will depend on you as individual. If you asked me for a recommendation I would point you towards Amsterdam genetics. Though it is undoubtably towards upper end of market in terms or quality and cost. Just for general mood really.

Herbert. Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 My cleaner swears it shrunk her grans brain tumour, I have2 family members that use it now 1 for being ****ed with cancer, Chemo isn't a option now because it was killing them and the other for back,I dont know how it's doing with the cancer but it helps slightly with the back pain on top of the prescribed medication. I bought the first batch from Hope CBD the ones that sponsor Hamilton and tbh if you want info I would either give them a call or pop into a shop. They dont claim it's a miracle cure or anything but can help out with what strength to buy etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown user Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Cannabinoids are naturally occurring substances with the body. The subject is still a bit vague but it's understood that cannabinoids ate crucial to homeostasis, the ability of cells to transfer matter, waste, manage heat, basically maintain a consistent state across the whole system. This is important because the body's internal functions, chemical reactions, electric signals etc happen best at a certain temperature, at a certain pH, in certain conditions. Many varied conditions can be helped with CBD oil, if nothing else the subtle feeling of wellbeing is pretty good. Personally though, I prefer weed.

luckyBatistuta Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 This has worked wonders for my parents, especially my mother who suffers incredible pains with her arthritis. She was never able to get a proper sleep because of the pain. She was a bit sceptical about using it at first, but once it was explained to her exactly what it was and how it worked, she gave it a go. It’s made a big difference to her life, would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Nixie Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Get a decent brand, don’t buy from Holland and Barret. I did my research and Provacan came out as best and excellent product (not cheap, but worth it) Minimum get the 1200mg or 2400mg. Drop under the tongue for two minutes morning and night. Do do it until the bottle runs out and you will feel the difference. I use it as work can be stressful sometimes and this just chills me and I don’t get easily bothered with things anymore. https://provacan.co.uk/cbd-oils/natural-cbd-oil-1200-mg/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a cheapish option which means if it doesn't help you haven't forked out on a more expensive %. Couple of drops under the tongue and leave for 30 seconds twice a day and hopefully she notices a difference. Might find you need to up the % but 5 is a good start as a tester.

Finding relaxing a lot easier, sleeping really well and actually feel mentally sharper, which came as a surprise to me. Would definitely recommend it for anyone who suffers from anxiety or similar.

CBD oil is 100% legal here, you can buy it over the counter at holland and barret. One of the worst things the CBD companies did when introducing this was brand it to **** with hemp leaves etc. Loads of people who could get a bit of relief using it are put off because it's so close to cannabis and there seems to be a lack of information so that people can easily understand the difference between cannabis with THC and a CBD extract. I think it'll probably start moving away from that though, you can buy it in drinks and they just look like normal cans of red bull or whatever. I used my mates bottle a few months ago to try and help with stress but can't say it really done much. I was stressed out my box at the time so probably wasn't going to be that effective. The price puts me off massively, think the bottle i seen in H&B was about £30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
