Trying CBD oil - and a pleasant surprise maybe?

PilatesLover · ‎08-20-2014

I've tried CBD for my RA in the past but never took enough to see any difference. A good quality, pure CBD at the organic co-op cost $60.00 for a low mg., eeny weeny bottle so I took it sparingly - no benefit to anyone of course.

Last week I noticed they have a much larger selection, including gummies, creams and CBD treats for dogs!! The price is much more reasonable now so I began taking it regularly.

So far it hasn't been long enough to see any arthritis help - but my LPR* is suddenly improved. I hope it's not a coincidence. I can't take PCPs so I'm sure hoping it's the CBD

*LPR = laryngopharyngeal refux

What are you taking?

@PilatesLover : What kind of a dose of a dog product do you even take? How do you decide the dose? DH takes edible CBD oil (and our small dog took some for her st iff back legs) and for both of them it helped quickly but they took the recommended dose, so we still had a lot leftover.

@Janey2 it is a brand called Sunsoil from Vermont. The expensive one I had tried didn't taste too bad at all. This one is strong, it tastes very "marijuana-y."

@patbz I think you have to consult with a doctor or someone at a dispensary to know an exact dose for your personal problems. (Or a vet, LOL.)

I'm just taking half a dropper a.m. and p.m. until I can see a person at the dispensary. I'm hoping to experience the joint relief so many get soon - but for now, I'm also sleeping like a lamb at night which is a blessing in and of itself.

This is a relatively new product, and no one knows what the long-term effects will be. I was tempted to try it, but too sensitive to medications and supplements.

@PilatesLover : My point is that you are taking a product made for dogs (not humans !!!!). The reason that it tastes stronger is that it is probably made using stems and pieces, NOT buds!!l). How can someone at the dispensary advise you? Do you weigh the same as a poodle? Or a Great Dane? I think that you may be kidding yourself (spring for the "human" medicine or find another way to find relief!
