CBD Oil ~ Have you tried it? I couldn't until very recently

When I was a county employee were were sternly warned against trying it, because a false THC (+) would lead to dismissal, or suspension, or some other bad outcome..

Well, now I don't answer to anyone, and I have arthritis real bad in my left foot. And Kathy said she had been looking into it's benefits as well, independent of my interest in it. So we jumped in.

Didn't go to the local vape shop or even a pharmacy, where you really don't know what you are getting off the shelf. We ordered an oil from a California lab, guaranteed to be 100% pure, and VERY expensive but 100% great reviews. We probably paid five times what the cheap generics cost. And we ordered the strongest concentration available.

Let me tell you. For the both of us hit has been a miracle. I can't describe the benefit of pain relief this has given me. Half a dropper under my tongue for 45-seconds and in a very short time the pain almost vanishes.

Kathy says I haven't slept this well in years, with no restless leg problems from the foot pain. And she is experiencing tremendous benefits as well.

Of course, we are getting the really good (expensive) lab stuff not pills from a vape shop.

Anyone have any opinions on CBD Oil?

I have been curious to try it for some time.. but not yet

I tried it with 0 THC and it did NOTHING at a great experience. The state I live in if you have to use force to protect yourself and someone ends up with several holes in them there is a 99% chance you will be taken to a local hospital for a blood draw, if you are found to have THC you are in a DUMP TRUCK load of trouble!! But glad to hear it works for someone.

I hear you got yourself a "new" classic car, too!

I'm an ignorant guy asking for a relative... Does the CBD help with reducing the arthritis or only mitigate the pain?

Well, for me it mitigates a lot of the pain. Unless I suddenly grow back a bunch of cartilage I don't think I will ever be "pain free" but the oil is helping me ALOT. I'm guessing 75% reduction in pain all on its own, I'm taking no meds for it.

I’m afraid I’m still using the same method as Granny Clampet, except that I don’t distill my own.

Fortunately, my arthritis is not that bad and I just have a little in the shoulders and elbows and hands from ancient sporting accidents. It’s normally pretty easy to deal with unless I’ve been out in the garage wrenching until midnight and then my wrists bother me pretty bad.

I can’t start mashin’ corn now . . . One of my daughters has become a revenuer!

It’s worse than that.

She makes more money than I made as an engineer. She is the curriculum director for the school that teaches the other local revenuers.
