Just wondering if anyone uses or has tried CBD oil?

It doesn't have the same 1960's hippie vibe to it but topical Ibuprofen gel I
use the Ibulieve 10% gel is so much more effective at helping local pain
it's really silly to ignore it as its..."a modern vile pharmaceutical" as opposed
to Cannabis / Cannaboids / A squeeze of hemp extract.

Not wishing to be too blunt here but Drugs companies have been "pissing about"
with CBD oils / extracts / immersions / resins, for so long now in the UK it's become
an industry joke. I was going to write that the US has legalised it in a fair few states now
and nothing has gone wrong there ,,,, BUT they just elected Donny "the hair" Trump,
so I think that argument kinda withered on the vine....LOL

So try CBD oil, if it works and makes your days happy and painless, HOORAH, BUT don't
give up on the modern stuff, just because Granny never used it.

I don't know what CBD oil is exactly but I have been using medical marijuana and have drastically reduced my need for pain medications. What I mean by that is that I don't take any pain medication at all now but there a very few times when I could probably use them I just don't and I have been able to it out. I've been vaping it and I will be experimenting with using the residue to make cannabis infused oil. I will keep you updated on how well it works.

CoolLioness - could you update your profile when you get a chance ? I really can't believe that you are that much older than I am 😀
Also, the recent changes to the Farm Bill Act now make it legal to grow hemp plants in the USA. CW Botanicals, the link that I provided earlier, is one of, if not THE pioneer in CBD processed from the hemp plant.
