I have been researching and working with cannabis for the last 4 years. CBD can be very beneficial for many symptoms because we already make a very similar molecule in our body. I use a topical cream for my back pain and a tincture to keep my hot flashes away.

I use gummies for managing my neuorpathy in hands and feet, I use 10mg dose when I anticipate major symptoms, before bed and after long walks. Sometimes use low T/high C flower and that also helps for sleep interruptions.

Yes, there are many options for CBD gummies and tinctures on the internet. Please be aware that there is no oversight on CBD. There can be heavy metals in your gummy because hemp pulls out the heavy metals in soil. No one is testing for this. Definitely don't want gummies made with hemp from China. (Very common).
Tinctures are easier to dose with. Other contaminants to look for: pesticides, microbes, solvents. Remember, this medicine comes from a plant. It should be grown organically and the CBD should be extracted without solvents. There is no oversight in this market, as with nutraceuticals in general.

I’m a first hand believer!! Been using cbd 2 years and at 56 I feel better than I have in the ten years or more prior. I can tell you that not all cbd is created equally .. there is a lot of crap out there. Don’t give up until u find what works for you❤️❤️

Yes CBD oil and creams work. What is the problem you are looking to help? I use a micro dose that works because it is a full-spectrum product. That's what you want to look for. Also make sure there is testing on the products - residual solvents, heavy metals and microbes all need to be tested for because this is a plant-based medicine and not a synthetic pharmaceutical.

Has anyone used CBD for their pets?

Yes, CBD works great for pets. BUT find a CBD that is not tainted with pesticides, solvents or added chemicals. Many on Amazon and the like are un tested or get the CBD from China which is usually tainted with heavy metals, as the plant absorbs metals from the soil. you can email me offline and I can help you find some good products.
Oil in their mouth is best way to dose for pets and we humans! Once the gummy/treat gets digested, you've lost 50% of the potency. Oil in mouth gets absorbed thru the gums and thin mucosal tissue and goes directly to the blood stream - no filtering by liver/kidney and therefore you absorb most of the medicine and get quicker pain relief or anxiety relief. This is also why you want the CBD to be very clean AND toxin free.

Yes, it works because we already produce a CBD-like molecule in our bodies. It is part of the Endocannabinoid System, which is a very pervasive and important system in our body. Most western medicine docs have not been trained in the ECS and refuse to learn it because it is attached to cannabis. CBD is the non psychotropic part of cannabis, AND CBD Hemp is now going to be designated as an agricultural product and wont be attached to medical marijuana CBD.(I know, clear as mud)
Currently, you can buy CBD hemp online, but be aware, most online products are not tested! Look for testing for pesticides/mold/solvents/heavy metals. Most companies only test for potency (how much CBD is in the medicine). CBD Hemp is a nutraceutical and is part of a very unregulated industry.
CBD Hemp Oil is best used as a sublingual, used on the gums and under the tongue. Just squirt the CBD on your dog's gums, then it will be absorbed quicker. Helps with anxiety and pain and lots of other issues.
