They are the top vendor in the US and are reputable. The taste is bitter with the powder. You can make a tea but to take the whole plant can be difficult for some. To make it easier, get the capsules. I usually get the order within 2 or 3 days.

Here is a very informative article as to how much and which kind is best for your particular condition.

I take it for energy. I don't have any pain to speak of (yet) but it sure get's the job done to boost energy and mood. It is superior to caffeine in this regard. The analgesic effects are very pronounced for some strains. I like to take it on Saturdays, my day off and I can get a lot of things done around the house. Sundays is my rest day and I don't do much as far as chores. Mondays is back to work and the regular grind.

If I took it, It would be for OA pain. For an old gal I seem to have strong energy but can't use it as I'd like to due to OA pain. My energy I believe is years of grape seed ex (circulation, cleaning and thinning blood).

Interesting topic. I'm definitely going to research this. I have migraines, and if it can help with those and depression, it is worth a try.

Yes, keep reading and I don't mean on City-Data. There is a wealth of information available, even on youtube such as this.

I will phone the company and discuss which product for pain. I'd LOVE to reduce some ibuprofen.

If you call the company they will not tell you anything because technically it is not approved for human consumption. That is the kicker. No FDA approval, not approved for consumption. That is another reason why it is controversial.

The second link I provided will tell you about it. It is quite detailed as to the effects and which strain is best for what purpose.
I would suggest reading the article. It is not that long and is very informative.

Here is more. I posted this video in the other thread as well.

I don't worry about any addictions fears that I hear around here. I have more concern about raising blood pressure and constipation. it's known that ibuprofen does both of these...to a degree I've read.

I'll take time to read and view more. thanks.
