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.

catherine colon Hi Catherine, Feel free to call me, I will help you. It is pretty overwhelming. Ali 925 899-4539

Ali Stoddard How do you use it
-
Brenda Hogan There are many ways to get CBD into your body. The most effective and efficient way is with a sub lingual tincture. An oil that you put under your tongue. It is easy to dose and figure out how many milligrams is best for your body and condition. A capsule is another option and you swallow it, so therefore you need a higher dose because the digestive system filters out half the medicine. Gummy‘s also are fairly popular because of the sugar and gummy candy, but again you are relegated to a certain milligram of CBD and then you have to digest it to figure out the effect. Also topical cream‘s are an excellent way for pain in a particular area . You can contact me off-line for companies that offer safe and effective products. I definitely do not recommend Amazon, as none of those products have been third-party tested for contaminants, pesticides and heavy metals that are typically found in cheap CBD products.

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.

catherine colon I get mine on Amazon, just search cbd gummies
-

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.

Ali Stoddard Thank you for researching and reaching out to folks on this forum, as well as, all others contributing your experiences with all seeking help. God Bless You Guys!
For those seeking knowledge: A cannabinoid is one of a class of diverse chemical compounds that acts on cannabinoid receptors in cells that alter neurotransmitter release in the brain.
I have a very rare cancer (Angio-Sarcoma) and I've been on a clinical trial immunology therapy (which is working) for the past 2.5yrs. All of my doctors from the specialty oncologist, oncology urologists in Santa Monica to my UC Davis primary doctor insists on cannabinoid usage. The issue is dosage & what kind is helpful? Ultimately it's up to the user to determine what's best, however all advice from all of you is so helpful in making a determination and saves so much time weeding through the vast array of products.

My experience with cannabis and cancer has been that if one has found the correct dose and strain of cannabis to fight the cancer, you will know within 3 to 4 weeks as you will see results fairly quickly, and see your numbers go down.
If trying to ameliorate something like anxiety or PTSD, the results can happen within hours to days. In other words, cannabidiol, or CBD is immediately quite effective in quelling the excitatory processes that contribute to that “fight or flight” state. CBD is very grounding and balancing.

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.

Try here. A jar of CBD Cream costs as little as $12. A tincture or oil under the tongue is $60. Dosing: start at a low dose (1-2 drops) and add to that does until you find a benefit. www.GreenAlley.org

Has anyone used CBD for their pets?
-
Annessa Thayer Yes I give my Pomeranian 2 drops a day . He can now get up and down the stairs without a problem.
-

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.

My father in-law used it for cancer, he swore by it.
-
some really good feedback here. I suffer from muscle spasms in my legs and no medication has been useful, using CBD is my next option, what is best, CBD cream, oil?
-
Eduardo Rosario i too suffer from spasms ,legs and now toes, sure this helps,so far, amazon best prices!
-
catherine colon any specific brand you use? I have no clue as to what’s best
-
Eduardo Rosario
-
Eduardo Rosario cbd in the form of oil works systemically and is a great anti spasmodic. That said, it’s doubtful that products you get on amazon would not be made well enough or without toxins. Whatever is causing the spasms, you certainly don’t want to add toxins to the mix. Insist on lab tests for heavy metals and pesticides. Start with a sublingual tincture and add a cream if needed for a two-pronged approach. I use CBD+ Cream from www.GreenAlley.org

Ali Stoddard thank you! 👍🏼

My daughter, who is 32 takes it to prevent seizures. She only takes 8mg per day. Her seizures are completely under control but less severe. We can't raise the dose because it causes elevated liver enzymes. I would ask your health care provider if you could have a liver panel blood test before and after trying it for a week or so, if all is well you could possibly titrate the amount up.
-
Vivian Bailey that truly depends on the case. Ingestion, yes. If a person inhaled it it would be more damage to lungs and much less severe to kidneys or liver. There is no truly 100% safe way to intake CBD into your body
-
-
I have cbd cream and swear by it!
-
In reference to CBD, ONLY Marijuana CBD is truly effective and safe. The DOH, and USDA both stated this year that these hemp CBD products have been running illegally for over 5 years, 6 now with ZERO backing or evidence of any such good case/bad case scenario. They just started producing hemp CBD and making false claims.

CBD from the hemp plant has many studies and many case studies. If you bother to read PubMed, you will find something called the Endocannabinoid System, which regulates pain and the nervous system. What feeds the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) - CBD and Omega 3s, not THC. CBD is the master molecule that feeds the ECS. If you ingest CBD, it makes our ECS start pooling our THC-like molecule that we produce in the body - THAT’s why we don’t need THC in our CBD. Every once in a while we need to add THC to CBD hemp, maybe 1% of the time, at best.
-
Ali Stoddard that is simply a false study done illegally with zero legal backing to be allowed to do so, sorry. Maybe you should start by looking up the USDA laws first so you can find you have no clue what you are talking about. There is no medical nor scientific data research involved in Hemp whatsoever. It was all done illegally by billion dollar corporations that do not care for facts nor your health. If you believe otherwise you are living a lie.

Dude, take your anger somewhere else. PubMed is the repository of all clinical articles, for pharmaceuticals, homeopathy and more. Read for yourself: feed the Endocannabinoid System with CBD (only) and it will make more our own THC-like molecule called Anandamide ( it will also produce the CBD like molecule, too ) Hence when you take CBD from the hemp plant the body will start to produce its own THC like molecule. That is why we don’t have to go to the dispensary to get our CBD. Here is a link to PubMed:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=endocannabinoid+system
-
Ali Stoddard No anger here, but you continuing to post lies and more false information, including linking outside here to a fake satirical entertainment site is dumb. No matter your fake reply you cannot win this conversation because it is not up for debate. You are a blatant and factual liar, posting fake news about something even the USDA themselves are saying is fake and has been for over 5 years. Move along, little buddy. Your nonsensical bs doesnt work in the real world. CBD Life Coach, what a joke. Factually, there is no such thing. Your blasphemy will be dealt with eventually.
-
Scott Turner (Farmer) what the hell is wrong with you
-
jill Estes Dude posts illegal and blatantly fake information and you ask what is wrong with me? Nice to see people are actually stupid enough to believe something that is not even a thing anywhere in the USA. I came here to answer questions. Not be lied to when I have to deal with the United States Federal Government for ALL i502 Recreational Marijuana dealings in my line of work and they can also vouch for this idiot being fake. This is a SUPPORT forum, not a place to post nonsensical lies. So to answer your question blatantly, nothing is wrong with me. What the hell is wrong with you?

CBD from Non hemp plants, that is CBD with THC my 93 year old mother swears by for her pain. She uses a rub on or topical ointment.
-
Never tried CBD just by its self. But, I was diagnosed in 2016 with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and my state finally got Medical Marijuana for people like me.
I since been using MJ for my fatigue, pain and spatiscity and to help me sleep the THC helps me sleep and with pain and I noticed by getting MJ with a higher concentrate of CBD it is a lot more effective.
I think you should consider either MJ with CBD or CBD from MJ with low THC in it witch ever you choose I think you can benefit greatly. Just make sure if you go with just CBD it works better when they extract it from actual MJ hope I have Helped. :)
-
It personally has never helped my pain. Only very high THC products, like RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) help my pain and it does get you stoned. I've only ever taken it before bed, but you're supposed to take very small doses morning and midday, with a larger dose before bed. It works more as a prophylactic, so the idea is to keep a steady level. I guess you have to learn to get your dose correct and give yourself a couple of weeks for your body to get used to it. For muscle and joint pain 1:1 THC/CBD Balm used along with THC/CBD tincture helps. All of these items must be purchased at a dispensary. I wouldn't trust CBD products not purchased from a dispensary and CBD will make you test positive for marijuana.

I HAVE TRIED BOTH CBD oik 300 mg by simple life -very effective in back,hip,arm shoulder pain effects lasted about 12 hrs with just one dropful under the tongue.
also have taken the cbd capsules 300 mg to be very effective on same above pain and the effect lasted for 14 hrs with just one capsule
I also tried the CBD Cream by green passage 250 mg extra strength it was rubbed on back it gave relief only for about 2 hours
will reuse the capsule because it taste better than the oil.
husband tried both oil and capsule same doseage as above for a severe ppain level from a very large skin graft surgical wounds and found it effective but stated it did cause nightmares or bad dreams
Hope this helps
-
i used it and it worked for me.
-
I have taken it in gummy form and no it didn't work for me. But the oil may work better

Unless it's from a marijuana plant, you won't notice a difference. Hemp does literally nothing whatsoever for you neither in CBD form nor in the minute percentage of THC in it. Hemp CBD is literally 100% fake, is just a scam, and the FDA and all other agencies have nothing whatsoever to do with it, nor is it approved by any either. Hemp CBD doesn't relieve pain, nor does Hemp THC get you high. That's not how hemp works, sorry. Unless you go to a local recreational marijuana shop to get your CBD, you are literally being robbed. Anyone arguing this is a liar, has no clue what they are talking about, and should do more research then just hearing it from a friend or something they found on a random Google page. I've been in the industry for over 12 years, I hope you have good luck, my friend. ✌️
