There’s only one CBD drug approved for treating epilepsy in some children, but there are many unproven claims that CBD can relieve anxiety and pain, and even help conditions like Alzheimer’s and autism.
Some places are allowed to do it. In my state it is illegal yet our state college has one of the largest legal crops in the states. Supposedly for research.
I’m not so sure it’s harmless. There are some people using it for glaucoma and some studies show it is harmful for those with glaucoma as it might raise the eye pressure.
I'm not sure that all the effects from this drug are beneficial.
Don't use it then. You can always use Oxycontin instead. Then you can benefit from cold sweats, confusion, dizziness, difficulty in breathing, bloating, blood in urine, painful urination, hives, nausea, severe constipation, seizures, vomiting, diarrhea, and trembling of hands and feet. Not to mention addiction and death.
No need to get triggered and testy. The link in comment above says too much reliance on marijuana might not be a good thing. High levels of THC or long term usage can lead to some serious consequences. Take time to educate yourself.
I'm very educated on the subject. I do get testy when people pull up random google pages and use them to advocate for the banning of safe substances that make Mrs. Gee's life bearable. It's not for everyone but for some it's pretty awesome.
CBD was not a magic elixir for me, I received no benefit, a week is not a fair trial period though .. but they did however thin my blood to a unsafe level of 4. I took Warfarin for years and now take Eliquis .. I know that I need to have my INR levels tested weekly when I do something different like taking a new supplement ..
I am THRILLED for those finding relief from pain .. it has to be amazing! I could even say I am jealous .. I cannot imagine what it would be like to spend a day pain free, I cannot escape my pain, yet push through it in order to keep a facsimile of a normal life. My youngest son was 7 when I got injured .. 10 when I had a blood clot and a stroke. (Not so) lil man kept me grounded. Everything in life I did next was for him .. he graduates high school this coming weekend - and was awarded "Master of Théâtre" last night .. it has not been awarded to a student in 5 years … okay I am done....
Yes, I know. They are appearing in every gas station / convenient store in Montana. It is a bit disturbing .. no one knows what is in that - it could have opioids .. when I try it again I will be contacting the Stanley Brothers in Colorado, they take the CBD very seriously...
Never heard about it thinning blood though. I guess it is like anything. People can have different reactions.
In fairness to CBD's, there is no proof that it was the CBD - yet that was the only change and I specifically tested before I started and at the end of the week. I have never spoken to a CBD user that is taking blood thinners, so I have nothing to compare my results to.. as you said reactions can vary ..
Congrats for your son.
Thank you .. my pride in him glows in the dark! I wish my mom was here to see him now!
Very true! And you don't even need to smoke weed, you can just eat it. I do so very rarely, just depends on how bad the aches and pains are but when I do eat some, I sleep like a baby.

Given that there are so many FDA drugs that are more dangerous than this one, I am not sure what the big fuss is about. What do you think?
There should be no fuss. Its an excellent, clean remedy for many ailments.
Some documentation and scientific evidence would bolster your claim.
Researching cannabis is a federal crime so we'll just have to rely on the testimony of tens of millions of users for evidence.
Some places are allowed to do it. In my state it is illegal yet our state college has one of the largest legal crops in the states. Supposedly for research.
Now that there is real money involved, it's time to scrape some off the top. The FDA does for big pharma what the NRA does for guns.
Big business indeed. Here in the Denver Metro Area, there are cannabis shops seemingly everywhere.
The stuff is really pricey, and the taxes are high.....the governments are lovin' it.
There is no FDA surveillance at all on "food supplements", so this seems silly.
It doesn't really matter whether CBD is really helpful, or if it's a placebo. People who use it feel better, and it apparently does no harm.
What was the question??
I’m not so sure it’s harmless. There are some people using it for glaucoma and some studies show it is harmful for those with glaucoma as it might raise the eye pressure.
I have no idea. It seems that unless there's blatant proof - spontaneous remissions or people falling dead - we always get contradictory advice.
Most medicines have side-effects.
I'm not sure that all the effects from this drug are beneficial.
I very never heard of any drug... or medecine... or supplement... or anything else you swallow... that is "all beneficial".

Yes it can, but that’s not what we’re talking about. CBD is not marijuana.

From what I gather there are different strains that can relieve different ailments.
Some for insomnia, pain relief, anxiety, etc.
Never heard about it thinning blood though. I guess it is like anything. People can have different reactions.

Alcohol is far.....FAR more damaging to the human body than weed is, but weed is still illegal federally... Literally makes no sense at all.
Pills are far more dangerous too yet one only needs a script.
