Anybody here use them? I got arthritic hip that kills me when I wake up
No other part of the day just upon arising in the morning.
Been seeing a lot of ads for this CBD crean, oils, etc.
Also, a product at Bed and Bath called Hempvanna.
CBD, isn't cheap. I bought 2 little samples of it to see if it was good for inflammation. Bigger jar was 80.
My husband is a medical marijuana patient here in Florida. He gets his CBD at the dispensary. It helps with relaxation and it lessens a type of head pressure he gets between excruciating attacks of stabbing pain he gets in his head from a rare condition. It also helps lessen some spasm and pain in his back from ruptured discs. He says it also helps with sleep.
Initially, the Florida dispensaries only had CBD in tincture form. You place a couple of drops under the tongue. This was not very helpful.
Later, the dispensaries began offering CBD in vape form. They produce the vape machine, the propellent and grow the cannabis, extract the CBD and manufacture all that goes into it under strict government regulation. . Now, he’s afraid to vape because of all the lung injury cases associated with vaping.
He has tried CBD in an edible form. It’s a pill. He said this is helping but it causes gas with an unpleasant smell. He’s tried other CBD oils you take by mouth and they did help him.
He’s tried many other CBD products, both here and on visits to Colorado. Many would be an understatement. None of the topical lotions and potions did anything for him. There were a couple that had CBD mixed with arnica. This felt good on his back. He tried massaging some of these things into his temples, the back of his neck and his forehead. No help.
The CBD products from the dispensary are extremely expensive. He also has to go to an MD’s office (a neurologist, in his case) and pay cash for a monthly visit to get his prescription to buy at the dispensary.
Our new governor made it mandatory that dispensaries offer real cannabis to patients. The real pot is high THC with very low CBD. It will cause a high. My husband needs both CBD and THC, so he is trying this. He had glaucoma and is regularly treated by an opthamologist. He uses RX drops to lower his eye pressure for his glaucoma. The drops work, but guess what? His eye pressure is even better when he is using the THC cannabis with the drops. His eye doc is thrilled.
Since CBD is available over the counter now in many places, he has tried some and has found them to be effective for him. Unfortunately, the most effective OTC CBD product is a vape, so he’s trying other forms. He found this CBD vape highly effective for pain.
It’s worth a try for your pain but keep in mind that over the counter CBD products are COMPLETELY unregulated. There can be other harmful substances in the products. You can not really know what’s in these products and just have to trust that the makers are really using the ingredients they claim to be using and that these ingredients are not contaminated. They are like supplements.
Another thing to keep in mind is that if you have glaucoma, CBD raises interocular pressure. This can worsen glaucoma. THC, the ingredient that causes the cannabis high, lowers interocular pressure.
