COPD & Emphysema Support Group
COPD is a progressive disease characterized by airflow obstruction or limitation. Emphysema is characterized by loss of elasticity of the lung tissue, destruction of structures supporting the alveoli and of capillaries feeding the alveoli. Both have symptoms that include shortness of breath, among other respiratory troubles. If you are a COPD or Emphysema sufferer, join...
Well old sucker me just wasted $55 on snake oil... oops I mean CBD oil at our medical cannabis dispensary. It came in a thing that looks like an injection needle with the needle removed. They told me to start off with a small amount, like the size of half a grain of rice and put it under my tongue using a toothpick. Well, this black/green crap is so bloody sticky it would not leave the toothpick so I walked around with it under my tongue for about 20 minutes. I cannot begin to describe the foul taste I had in my mouth and I'm sure my breath would have killed a horse. No difference in feeling. My next experiment was on my spouse (hey somebody had to be sacrificed in the name of science!) I gave him well over a grain of rice and he had the same result as me - zero, nothing other than the bad taste and the dirty looking toothpick.
I will now wait and try the Pheonix Tears, the one that is all THC or one of the cookies or candies that they carry. If I spend my hard earned money, I want to have either some fun or some relief from stress or the pain of my nerve damage. Hell, I could have gotten that awful taste in my mouth by eating deer droppings in my front yard!
Have a good day, I will keep you posted on my net trial or tests on my poor spouse, he is the one with the bad back and now bad breath!

i got a good laugh out of your explanation & also the testing on your husband. Good information with humor too :)
Gwapo, we should be able to share & not be attacked on DS so I hate hearing that you feel that way.
I personally appreciate the "input" from others. I am very interested in this & am too "chicken" to try it myself at this point.
I can read other opinions on other sites, but I don't know if they are real or fake. Here on DS, it is like getting information from people "I know."
I have a strong gut feel that one guy is from here under a fake ID....but if it is who i think then he is totally gutless, just another monkey behind the keyboard......I wish he would have the guts to not hide and discuss it...even in PC...
Can you believe someone who ''Accidently'' uploads a pic of him/her self smoking a cigarette and then ''thinks'' it would not be ''saved'' ???????
I found this article interesting about CBD oil in utah from back in january 2015.
It is about if a company starts producing CBD oil & how the "potency" would decrease while the cost increase.

I wonder if that is why the CBD oil didn't seem to work.
(i also found the comment about cost if it is produced here legally interesting also after having a discussion about drug cost in USA)
I don't want to get high. I want to ease the anxiety which makes things so much worse.

Those 2 videos were very informative. I'm actually surprised at so much info on how to prepare it for the "rear delivery" was shown.
(IMO glass (mason jars?) would be the "safest" from contaminants like lead & iron. They can also be sterilized easily :) )
my dr's say that inflammation is the main cause of pain & copd flare ups. steroids (prednisone) are used so much for these conditions. prednisone has SO many side effects, and long term even more side effects.
It just seems that if MM can help with inflammation that would be a godsend for people that can't tolerate side effects of prednisone. (or don't want to live with long term effects that prednisone can cause)---it just seems like a no brainer that MM should be an option. (IMO)
I tried finding out what countries MM is legal & was rather surprised at how few are legal. (I thought it would be legal in other places for some reason)

..."essentially"???
I am kind of surprised that with the places that MM is legal, that we aren't hearing more opinions from people who have tried it...
Also med mj is CBD.....so there is no high....i also mixed half a bowl with oil as well and take i tablespoon if im totally SOB.....this is to see if it opens the air passages as im led to believe.....This will replace using my rescue in favourable situations...like at home....
So lets play.......
