Anyone ever try CBD ??

[annekat]

I was reading about this (CBD ) its medical pot with no thc in it and is legal in every state. It is supposed to be good for ALOT of things. Well I ordered a bottle of it today.I got capsules but it comes in different forms. My pharmy even sells the oil but not the pills so I will let ya'll know. I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried or heard of it before

I had heard of it but haven't tried it. A friend uses it. I don't even know how to get it, need to do some research. Let us know how it works out.

I will look into this also as I would like to try it. Pot is legal in Mass now so more doors are open to us. I would love to be able to walk without pain, I don't know if it works for that but would like to try it.

I have never tried the CBD, but I did smoke pot when I was younger. I of course had no pain back then. I asked my PCP about the medication that they have on the market for other disorders. My doc says that she thinks it would help a lot of or to be able to quit taking opioids for pain. She then informed me that she would not give me a rx, because it is just approved for certain dx's in our state now. It is funny because most of the dx's are mental disorders. I think I am going to try and get some to give it a go. Deb, thanks for the post, I hope you are doing better.

Hi Anne,Dale and Jaha !! I found this stuff on the comp and a well known Dr. was on CNN talking about the benefits from it. If you just google CBD you can find out about it. The stuff isn't cheap ( especially since it doesn't have any thc in it !!!) A 1 month supply of pills is $ 60.00. I was able to get a month free trial ( $ 10.00 shipping ) so I will know after a month if it works if not I will cancel my other order. When I was at the pharmy yesterday I asked him about the oil and he said a lot of people use it but it was $ 66.00 for a small bottle that you use a dropper to put in under your tongue.

Dale, they also approved medical marijuana here also but they said it will be a couple of years before they figure out who grows it, sells it etc. So I don't think you can get a script for it.


I will definitely let ya'll know when I get it how it works.

Take care everyone and have a great Valentines Day..love you all !!!!!

Its been legal in WA for over a year. My neighbor won the lottery for the local pot store in town. I have tried about 4 different types of CBD, but nothing seemed to give me any relief. So, I thought I'd try the real thing and get the CBD with the THC. All it did was make me tired and dizzy. I can't believe why anyone would want to be a pot head. But anyway, it didn't work either. BTW, my trial stuff was about $200 worth. The stuff isn't cheap. Most of that is taxes for the state, tho.

In Colorado and Massachusetts, where it is also legal, people are allowed to grow a few plants for their own use. But not here in Washington, which I think is dumb. A friend of mine grows some of the CBD. I'm not clear on the legality of that, since it contains very minimal THC, if any. For crying out loud, it's just a plant, an herb. People are allowed to make their own beer, why not grow their own pot? As with beer, most people wouldn't go to the trouble and would still buy it, I imagine. And the state would get its cut.

Ranting aside, I hear you, vdub, about not wanting to be a pothead. I am an extreme "lightweight" in that regard. But recently, I've been dealing with pain after fracturing my pelvis. So I've smoked a little regular pot a few times, and I really mean a tiny amount by a pothead's standards, not even enough to worry about my lungs, which aren't currently in bad shape. It does get me high, not unpleasantly so at that small amount, and I feel it can help with the pain, but my take on it is that the high distracts me from fully experiencing the pain. I don't know if it would help with really severe pain. I was using other painkillers at the time, too. Since I haven't tried the CBD, I'll have to reserve judgement on that. I think I'd try to use it some other way than smoking it, to save my lungs, so I could use as much as I might need. Regular pot is self-limiting for me, because I have no desire to get very high. I smoked it with others when young, and enjoyed it to a limited extent, but found it boring to be around people who were that intent on being high on pot all the time. I hope to find out more about the CBD.

I was in my late teens and early 20's during the heavy drug, free love years in the 60's and 70's. Would you believe I never did any drugs, not even pot. I drank a lot of beer, but never pot. My first experience with pot was last summer when I did my test to see if it would help -- I was 65 and retired so didn't have much to lose anymore. The CBD's were in an e-cig for one type and chocolate candies on another type. The chocolates were really good. I also did an e-cig for the THC/CBD normal type pot. But I found no relief from pain, so I've chosen not to spend the money on it.
