thanks for this^^

I was taking a quality brand CBD oil, but I stopped because over time it did not seem to help the discomfort of my diagnosed Grade II Spondolitheliosis <---I'm sure I slaughtered that word

I still bush hog, ride the 4-wheeler, care for my horses and clean stalls every day but some days are more difficult than others. I'd be sunk without my chiropractor.

Anyway, I stopped taking the $138/2 oz. CBD oil since I couldn't see an improvement. It is grown & processed in my state and sold at a well established health food store (not GNC).

I had been taking 50-75 mg daily for 3-1/2 months. I do have glaucoma so your information is timely for me, thanks again

That's the way it goes with so many drugs, it effects people differently. Just like marijuana itself. A Friend smokes it and she can yap, yap, yap. Me? My mouth freezes up, can't get a word out! It paralyzes me!

I've talked to people who have taken Percocets, different reactions. Me? I take one and it paralyzes me instantly, can't even get out of the chair to navigate to my bedroom.

I'm sure the price will come down as more states offer medical marijuana, and, in the mean time, I'm buying lots of good, cheap stuff from the pharmacias in Nogales, Mexico, thanks to a Dr. I found that will write me up any prescription for $3.50!

I ordered that teeny size, yesterday, just to try it and see how it works. Will let you know when it gets here.

CBD oil or capsules are useless, in my experience. Like virtually all supplements. Save your money

On the other side of that judgemental coin we find people like me that get pain relief from CBD tinctures and gummies.

CBD seems to work for some and not for others.

Sounds like the same arguments for and against taking vitamin C. I used to get a lot of sinus infections, until I started supplementing my vitamin intake with a minimum of 1,000 mg of C every day. But there are some people who either didn't try it, didn't need it, or simply didn't believe that it worked for them, because they gave up trying too soon. It takes a couple weeks for the benefit to be realized.

I wonder if people who say CBD doesn't work are using products bought from Amazon. I would strongly advise against ordering CBD from them. Why? Amazon is prohibited from selling anything labeled "CBD" (which is still considered a Class I controlled substance by the Feds), so all the products are called hemp oil or hemp-something-else. This opens the door for cheap, inferior products made from cannabis stalks or seeds that may have little or no actual CBD in them and may be imported from places like India or China where they could have been contaminated by pesticides. You want to make sure that what you're getting is full spectrum (made from the whole plant), lab-tested and made in the U.S.A. or you may not get the results you're looking for.

I prefer the real McCoy, I know what people think but I do not care. I have a brother that takes a fistful of pharma pills everyday. We are very close in size and I am sure dna. So we will see who lives longer. We are both in our early 60's. He has way more medical problems than I do. In fact I think it is already working. I feel healthy and strong and stoned. (hehehehehe) YEAH BABY time to put on some dead music and sit back and..........well you know.


I need to move to Colorado or Michigan, I mean why get in trouble for it right????
