any one try canabis oil?

please tell how was experience and which brand is more effective

i'm actually getting some in the mail shortly. my LLMD recommended (and i've also heard this recommendation from a few others) Charlotte's Web. not cheap that's for sure.

are you doing LDN? supposedly its similar in action.

don't leave us hanging girlie does it? ;)

Just an FYI - take it or leave it.

The dispensary that Dr. Murakami recommends here in BC is Green Cross Society.
I spoke to the head guy there and asked him about U.S. suppliers. He was very knowledgeable and helpful..He highly recommended CW Botanicals for people in the U.S.

/www.cwhemp.com

He said they are the true suppliers of 'Charlotte's Web' oil.

also i noticed they have 3 different strengths 10mg, 25mg and 85mg per ml. which does one start with the 10mg?

I realize this was asking about oil but I have made my own extract by decarboxilating 5g(fancy word for heating in the oven covered in foil) of the plant material in the oven at 250F for 30 minutes to maximize CBD.

Let it cool and then place in a 30ml glass jar and fill with ethanol or you can use vodka if you must. Then let sit in the freezer for 5 days shaking gently daily.

That said it also produces a good amount of THC which I dont know how to get past this as I really dont care to be stoned and this will totally do that at any more than 5 drops.

I feel from my experience that this does little more than mask the symptoms of Lyme rather than healing.

More than 20 drops (in hot tea to evap the alcohol) has the potential to make you 'hungover slow' the next day but not from the alcohol.

If ever it becomes legal (where I live) that I could grow large plants without the fear of reprisal I would juice this plant in a heart beat and this would be my preferred method of treatment.

You do not get stoned as long as you do not heat the material as THCA will not convert to THC, but without the fresh plant or complex chemistry equipment I dont know how to maximize CBD in any other way.

I look forward to counter arguments and or others experiences.

There is an entire book on this subject .. Called "Cannabis for Lyme Disease and Related Conditions, by Shelly White. She cured herself w it but says you must use loathe quantities and you must use Some THC for its antimicrobial properties.

I got a prescription for med marijuana for my state. I can't tolerate the thc so it's not gonna work for me. On the other hand, I like thr CBD oil that I get sent to me by mail (Active CBD). It helps with pain and anxiety, but is very expensive. I don't think I'm taking enough to kill any bugs, plus as I said .. I think you need a bit of thc in it ( according to this book anyway)

The research being done by Eva Sapi and Murakami is with CBD oil.

- From Hemp,

I've been using CBD for about 3 months now and am just so impressed with the results. I have been under tremendous stress and not eating right and not taking my supplements and not getting enough rest and....what am I forgetting? I'm not taking care of myself right now due to life happening anyway. I am NOT crashing, I am not in immense pain, I am not foggy minded, or feeling exhausted and my stomach is holding up. My mood is very good considering what life is bringing me and I attribute this all to the CBD oil. I haven't had the funds to return to my ND for my checkup, but will in the next few months and am curious to see how all of my bloodwork and inflammation markers and adrenals are looking. Is it curing me? I dunno. I do know it is holding me steady and am sleeping well when I do finally get to go to bed and I am feeling pretty good and honestly, I should not. I should be a wreck right now. We'll see how this all goes. I have had more migrating pain, but it isn't severe and it doesn't last a whole long time like it used to....I used to get pain that would settle into a place and not leave for sometimes months and it was awful. Now, a few days of aches and then it moves to somewhere else, thank goodness.

I will say this all with one caveat, I was feeling pretty good when I started the CBD. The life mess hit right after starting it. I would actually say I'm feeling a little BETTER than I did when I started, but not by like leaps and bounds or anything. Maybe 5% better. Again, with everything that is going on in my life, I should be not doing well at all and am thankful for the timing. I don't know what it would have done for me when I was at my lowest and when I was feeling so poorly.....maybe it would or wouldn't have helped, I can't answer that. I do believe the timing was right for me and my body to profit from the CBD. Is it expensive? Yes, a little, but less expensive than my other treatments/supplements/ND appointments on a monthly basis....I'm saving thousands, literally, per month.

It is helping me, for sure. I need to get through the next few months and believe I will without issue thanks to the CBD.

Anyways I've tried CBD and THC. Neither did much for me other than give me acid flashbacks and a temporary sense of purpose during the beginning of my illlness... lol. That was the THC. I didn't notice much from the CBD.

I most likely didn't try it long enough...and should have raised the dose.
