CBD oil

Firstly, apologies if this is the wrong place to post about this.

I’m not getting any younger and, as a result of this, talk picking up aches and pains from regular exercise. I see CBD oil being sold as some sort of wonder cure for this but have no experience of it (and am pretty sceptical about what I’ve read as there’s a lot of supplement companies sponsoring athletes...)

To add to the confusion, I have no idea what or where to buy it to give it a go.

So, I thought I’d post here and see if anyone has had any good experiences or horror stories...

Thanks

Holland and Barratt sell it. Buy one get one 1/2 price.

It's good for aches, and sleeping aid. Been using it for a while.

It might be purely psychological but I've found it certainly does help with pain relief. Tastes disgusting though.

Tastes earthy. You get used to it, grow to like it even

CBD Bros is best stuff, but a bit pricey

Just emailed CBD bros. So many options!

Keep an eye on on their Faceache page they're always giving away samples - I've had two full bottles of the oil from them and two syringes of the paste in the past

I used to vape it for neuro pain relief-works for that but don't know about all the other claims people make for it.

The good stuff-with quantifiable terpenes, cannabinoids etc-is expensive. Think 60ml set me back about £90 but was enough to last me a few months. There's a lot of shit out there made from industrial hemp that doesn't have the same benefits though so you need to do a bit of poking about to find something cheap and decent.

I vaped CBD e juice (Cannavape) for insomnia caused by Tinnitus - it did help but I didn't really like vaping so when it ran out I didn't get anymore

Huh, one of my colleagues was just extolling the virtues of vaping CBD oil. I might try it some time, be good as a nightcap I guess.

It's pretty underwhelming tbh.

If you really try and huff it you might get the slight warmth equivalent to a glass of red wine, but not much more-it's really not equivalent to having a sly toke or anything.

Along with Modafinil I'd put it firmly in the 'functional, not fun' category of substances I've ever had to spunk money on.

Vaping is a weird one too-I couldn't take myself seriously when doing it. Maybe I'll just buy CBD crystals and a crack pipe next time...

Central Business District oil?

Cunt Buyer Distillation vapour

It's won't supposed to get you high, even if you huff it. That isn't the point of it.

You just explained that you can't get high off it in a way that hinted that you were expecting to.

Did you read the comment this was in reply to?

Yes. CBD is good for insomnia without the sedating effects of THC.

And yet, the term 'nightcap' is normally used to describe the sedative feeling of alcohol. Hence my clarification that this isn't the feeling you get from it. Alles klar?

I’ve been trying cbd (about 3 months now) in the hope it would help with pain relief, can’t tell if it’s working - still got pain. Hard to judge as before I was taking a lot of cocodomol to manage the pain and getting CBD I have stopped cocodomol for the longest period in about 6 years. I’m using the love cbd brand, and have tried 500mg and 800mg strengths.

Is it that I need to use stronger cbd for pain relief? (Can’t afford it really) or should I try a different brand? (Recommendations welcome)

Provacan comes highly recommended by a friend of mine treating severe cancer pain. They always do discount codes if you hunt around.

I'm using this stuff at the moment on my elbow seems to help a bit actually

@TM @skydancer is anyone using this stuff long term and got anything to say about side effects or whether the pain relief aspect wears off over time?
I’m looking at using tablets from https://cannabis-europa.com/profile/george-kruis/ run by England’s George Kruis to tackle long term low level leg pain that’s stopping me running and walking much.

I’m planning to ask my GP too but thought I’d see if any anecdotes first.

Not used long term. Occasionally at night as sleeping aid

Do you mind sharing what you take and how much? My Dad has suffered from insomnia for his whole life and is considerijgngiving something a bash.

I only really know about CBD for anxiety and PMS.
