Questions about CBD oil?

Just to clarify - CBD oil isn't from marijuana...its from hemp.

I take the CBD oil - it doesn't make you high like MJ does.
It's low THC and high CBD.

Here in Canada you need a Medical Marijuana card to buy it legally...but not the CBD oil - anyone can purchase it.

I order mine and it is mailed to me.

There are several places to purchase it in the U.S.

I am under the impression that it is the THC that is beneficial and modifies the TH1 and TH2 ( and therefore the pain )

Our results showed that THC treatment leads to the association of active histone modification signals to Th2 cytokine genes and suppressive modification signals to Th1 cytokine genes, indicating that such a mechanism may play a critical role in THC-mediated switch from Th1 to Th2," reads the study's abstract. "At the global level, a significant portion of histone methylation and acetylation regions were altered by THC."

The epigenomes, "histones," lead to the suppression of inflammation. The THC in marijuana can help manipulate these epigenomes to suppress inflammation in the body, being that inflammation worsens one's autoimmune condition.

hornet599, I didn't even know that cannabis fought borrelia.

Girlie, Tommy - ask you can tell, I'm woefully ignorant about all this. It's not something I ever considered.

But what I know is that he was treated and got better then 'relapsed.'

I suspect he wasn't treated long enough and/or has confections that weren't diagnosed or treated. We got into a discussion (through social media) about having chronic pain and invisible disabilities and he mentioned he had Lyme. I gave him the info about the forum. I'm hoping he or his wife may come take a look. I just hate to see anyone else have to deal with this especially since pain for me is the worst symptom.

Thank you all for taking the time to answer,
Have a good day,

I didn't/don't want to take marijuana - I don't want the "high".

I decided to start the CBD oil after the retired Canadian LLMD Dr. M paired with Dr. Eva Sapi to do research on CBD oil and its effects on Borellia.
I am not looking for symptom relief...I am taking it as a treatment - and hoping it does "kill" the bacteria.

On his fb page there are testimonials from many people who have found it has worked for them after years of antibiotics not working.

It's costing me $120 for three weeks so far. I need to ramp up the dose before I determine it hasn't worked for me.

I wish I could use it, without having to spend hundreds of dollars for a month's supply. The smallest bottles I've seen were like $50.

I wonder if I'll live to see the day where the medical marijuana industry is in full effect, nationwide? It seems like it could be such a far off thing. The majority of the public wants it, at least here in Iowa, but state governments, not so much, I guess, and all the legal processes take forever.

Much progress has been made, yes. Still, I've no doubt that a portion of the country is going to drag its feet, which sucks, 'cause there's benefits to be had.

There COULD be a cure in it. Say, super high doses of CBD oil. Though, at the very least, I feel the plant(s) would provide ways to alleviate many of the symptoms involved with some of our conditions.

As slow as my brain is sober, I'm not looking to get inebriated, but I wouldn't mind some of the other products I've seen.

The CBD being the biggest though. I hear they got edibles with just CBD. I want a cookie as a pain pill, as if my gut would let me eat cookies though. lol

Oh well.
