Hello everyone. I'm curious if anyone has tried hemp oil products such as Charlottes Web, or hemp and CBD topical oils/creams, things like that? And if they helped you at all. I have tried smoking pot (desperate for anything to help with FM pain) and it did nothing for me. I tried several strains with different levels of THC vs CBD and all it did was tear up my throat from coughing. I've also tried just straight up CBD oil with small amounts of THC. Again, nothing at all. I saw a video about a woman with TN who tried various things like this, and she found Charlottes Web to be quite helpful (this is the stuff you see parents give their kids with seizures and it stops them). It's very pricey and don't want to jump into it so I wanted some advice. I've been getting migraines about 4 times a week again, and my hips and hands have been aching so badly I need something to help. Any advice or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!!

My cat is going on trial for crimes against skink-anity. SIX in six weeks. Three this last week alone.The crack is maybe 1/4 inche wide. Maybe. Skink skitters past, her paw shoots out, her claw hooks in, she yanks, and somehow, having defied physics... WHAM. Skink-o-rama.Now, don't get me wrong, it's nice that she's a pesticidal maniac, but OMG. Skinks do no harm. They don't come inside. WTF.So,...


Note: AND THIS IS NOT EPILEPSY! OK? I have epilepsy. The MJ oil extracts for childhood epilepsy works very specifically for a very certain type of seizures, and isn't 100 percent effective for *that*. Sorry to be strident, but I just spent time posting warnings against a hemp oil scammer on DS.
Frankly, I wouldn't use hemp oil on a baseball mitt. Save your money.
There are many benefits of using medicinal cannabis and it has been a lifesaver for me. It helps with pain, depression, stiffness, mood, energy, inflammation, etc. The benefits are huge.
The key to using medicinal marijuana effectively is experimenting with numerous strains and working with a knowledgeable dispensary who can guide you. I have tried some strains and they didn't agree with me, but have found a multitude of others that have significantly helped me. I have been through at least 40 or more strains and have narrowed down my favorites over the years. The key is experimenting and finding not only the right strains, but dosage as well.
There are many different methods for delivery. My favorite ways to consume cannabis are through vape pens, vaporizers, pain patches, drops, tinctures, extracts, pills, lotions, topical oils, creams, gels, and edibles, and mouth sprays. With each method, you must experiment to find the correct dosage. Some of my favorite strains for Fibro are: black kush, harle sue, gorilla glue, white harmony, jet fuel, blue dream, just to name a few.
I keep a log whenever I introduce a new strain and note the dosage, times taken, and how it effected me. This lets me know if I need to increase my dosage and lower my dosage. My dispensary gave me a medication log and are very helpful.
So Hemp CBD oil and marijuana (whether it's high cbd or thc) ARE NOT the same thing..
Feel free to message me with any questions.
