CBD - topical use for aches/pains

[Graspher]

Is anyone using it?

Does it help?

What strength are you using and where are you buying it from.

Inquiring muscles want to know....

[asianthree]

Not allowed, we would test positive in a random drug test

However I do know some who swear by it, but need to be careful on which brand you buy from. As in any product there are good and bad

[Graspher]

As a retiree I’m not worried about random drug testing. I suppose it might be a problem if tested pursuant to a traffic accident. I’m not sure I would let that stop me from using the oil if it was providing relief from soft tissue issues.

[Nucky]

I tried the drops under my tongue for about a month and found little relief. I'm glad others have had such good luck with CBD Oil. Chronic pain is just a part of life for some people and instead of concentrating on it we try to make each day as good as possible. We are inside the 20 yard line and the clock is ticking and I'm out of time outs. We tried the cream also. I gave it away because it was not working at all.

Pain Relief gets your hopes up and so far results have been nill. Whatareyougonnado? Keep smiling and laughing that's what!

[LuvtheVillages]

CBD oil does not contain any THC, so you don't need to be concerned about drug tests.

You do need to be concerned about the purity of what you buy. I get mine from Hempworx. It is a solvent-free, pure extract.

Many people say that it helps with their aches and pains. But you will need to try it for yourself, as everyone is different.

.

We had one CRNA using CBD, random test was positive, now in review for their job, So if you are in medical field, this statement may not be true for you

Thanx for that - I will check out that supplier.

[Indy-Guy]

And yours - thanks for that!

I use CBD gummies from a company called green roads that you can buy anywhere in the USA legally on line. The CBD is derived from hemp plants which contain only trace amounts of THC (below what the federal government recognizes as being illegal). I take two 10 mg gummies per day and have not had to take an Aleve or Advil for my aching joints for about three years. They work for me and many others, but don’t seem to work for everyone.

That’s very interesting - thanks for sharing!

I agree with this post! Green Roads is a good one but there are 2 shops here where you can actually speak with someone about their product. One CBD is on 441/27 near the Lowes and Beall's. It's in the strip mall...look for the signs. There is another shop in Lady Lake near the library...also in a strip mall. It's near a Rehab. place. Can't remember the brands of these two of these but I've used both. The creams do help with pain and the sublingual tinctures and gummies also helped me with sleep etc. There is NO TCH in these!! People tend to mix them up with the Medical M.J. and you won't need an RX for these as you do with that.

My doctor said it contains small amount of cannabis that is the reason I do not take it sleep. A nurse told me at a clinic in Ocala the same thing. If you get get stopped by police you might be in trouble

Yes it does contain a small amount of THC but you don’t need to worry about testing at a level that would be considered under the influence.

My wife uses the cream and does get relief from it.

[Kathi71]

Buy from a reputable source. I have been using it topically(strongest I can get) and I love it. It takes your pain away. It even helps with my migraines.

[karostay]

Over the counter snake oil

[Bill1701]

I used a CBD spray in the past and it worked very well. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it anymore and bought CBDOL stick. It works like a roll-on. It doesn't seem to work any better than lido-creme products.

So many choices and even more disinformation when it comes to CBD products. Without going into a book of information it’s best to go direct to a cultivar who makes there own boutique brands and hopefully are organic. Simple google search will give you lots of options. There are a few levels of purity of product that you can buy that are all derived from a hemp plant not from hemp seed.
Starting with Crude oil, which has all the Cannabanoids, lipids, fats, wax’s and terpines. Probably the best route if your wanting the most natural product. Check to make sure it’s being extracted with Co2 preferably because it strips both polar and non polar parts of the plant. Most big mfg’s Use ethanol as the solvent because it’s cheaper but won’t bring a lot of the terpines which in my opinion is not as pure. Usually will come only in Gel tabs or syringe.

Second would be products made from distillates. More refined then above to get to a purer higher % of cbd. This would be your tinctures, vapes, gummies etc... these are a lot harder to regulate as far as Milligrams dosage because there is no real science into making each dose identical yet. I call them marketing sku’s

The final would be pure cbd isolate. Because they are pure they are only in crystal form. Most wont buy this unless your looking to make your own products.

With regards to all the above products if the company you are looking at does not have current testing for pesticides, toxicity, microbial and plant genetics I would look elsewhere. Good companies have all this info available per GMP requirements.

Cheers

My Villages doctor sent me to The Green Apple store. Corner of Rolling Acres Road & 466. He said to get the bottle from Colorado in the strongest strength. He said I could get cheaper oil on line but it would be a crap shoot. Neighbor across street gets his at the same place.

[sloanst]

My opinion: CBD is nothing but snake oil.

[NotGolfer]

My opinion: CBD is nothing but snake oil.

Question....have you ever used it?

[Down Sized]

My opinion: CBD is nothing but snake oil.

Evidently my doctor and I think you are wrong!

i ate an entire bag of gummies and did not get any help from it. IF you are retired & not worried about drug testing, a thc remedy may be worth a try. i suffered chronic pain from arthritis from a young age, & it was the only thing to help me get out of bed & ready for the day. when used wisely according to directions, it can do wonders. good luck

[leftyf]

It did nothing for me except waste my money

Most informative - thank you for taking the time to post - very helpful!

I keep hearing good things about the Apple - thanks for confirming!

I used the cream on my knee and it fixed my knee pain. I know I still need a knee replacement but not getting it until my knee completely collapses now. It took about 3 months using the cream daily for the pain to completely go away. I also take a cbd capsule everyday from CBD ( Cannabidiol ) Oil and Hemp Oil Tincture Products | Charlotte's Web™️ (http://www.charlottesweb.com) because I have had back pain for 27 years. My pain is now completely gone and if I miss my morning CB pill I KNOW it by the evening. The CBD mainly works on inflammatory issues for me.

That’s impressive - thanks for sharing!

Just this week I had swollen glands and I used a CBD roll-on and the pain went away. I got the roll-on from a chiropractor here in T.V. The product's name is CBD Clinic. I've also used it on a sore back and my hand(s) when I've had pain. As I earlier posted, I take a sublingual tincture and gummies on a daily basis. One has to be consistent with CBD for it to help.

[klockare]

Go to Green Apple on Rolling Acres South of 466. There is an American Legion on the corner, a put put golf coarse, then the health store. They are very knowledgeable. I used 1500 mg for a year before my knee replacement. It works within 2-3 minutes. Orals did not work for me.

Is it oil or cream?

[l2ridehd]

I tied it after I twisted my knee skiing and boy it worked really really well. Oh wait. I was skiing in Colorado and there you can buy the real stuff. Hummmmm, maybe that's why it worked so well.

[karostay]

Throw in a little THC and you'll be pain free and happier

[stan the man]

With the amount of farmers in New York State growing hemp, the price should Come down drastically within the next year or so

[Graspher]

Some say snake oil.....I say super solution!

I don’t have any chronic pain....yet....but I do have situational issues that spring up from time to time.

Went to Green Apple and purchased CBD infused topical relief cream and CBD oil.

Guess what? They really work. The cream significantly reduces - lots of times eliminates - muscle pain and sore spots.

I squeeze a few drops under the tongue at night to facilitate a comfortable rest period. That works too.

I’m sold!

Thanks everyone for the information!
