Now since CBD oil is legal in all 50 states I have ordered some to try. I ordered the kind you use in a vape. I have read many articles regarding CBD and how well it is supposed to work. Has anyone here tried it? How has it worked for you? I know some of you use MMJ but that isn't legal in my state. I see this is also available as a massage type oil for joints but I figured I would need a vat of that with all my ouchy spots. Any thoughts or experiences regarding this is greatly appreciated. I just hope this isn't another snake oil remedy but it doesn't appear to be.
There is a big difference between CBD enriched hemp oil and medicinal marijuana. The medicinal marijuana utilizes THC and critical medicinal terpenes and secondary cannabinoids. These compounds interact with CBD and THC to enhance their medicinal benefits. CBD hemp oil does not contain these compounds and does not give the same medicinal effects as medicinal marijuana.
Medicinal marijuana works wonders for fibromyalgia pain. You have to experiment to find the best strain for yourself. I prefer medicinal marijuana that is high in CBD because you get little to no psychoactive effects. I know you said that you live in a state that has not legalized marijuana and understand that you are exploring other options, so you are trying the CBD enriched hemp oil. CBD oil is made from the stalk of the plant and contains very small traces of thc and lacks many of the compounds present in maijuana; nonetheless it can be worth trying if you don't have access to medicinal marijuana.
I have found the CBD enriched hemp oil extract to be very relaxing and help with my tight muscles. I have found that the medicinal marijuana works wonders for my pain, tight muscles and relaxes me. Since you only have access to CBD enriched hemp oil, then go for it. I hope you have a positive experience with it. Best wishes!
For those of you using it, I hope it helps.
It was only approved in my state for one very limited pediatric application, but it's a foot in the door for more. All previous MJ-related bills died in committee so never even got to the floor for a full vote.
It's a start.
