it does sound ridiculous. It did nothing for my dog. I am thinking there are different kinds. My good friend had to have a doctor's prescription for hers. She was on chemo and it help her with her symptoms.

When I bought mine for the dog, I was told that it came from Colorado! I think the only way I would use it is if I personally knew someone who used it and was successful with whatever and where ever they got theirs.

I originally bought it for the dog. She has extreme storm anxiety and the vet suggested I try it. It didn't phase it. So I decided since it has been touted to help pain that I would try it for my arthritis. Nada. And it tasted horrible, to the point of almost throwing up. But I've kept it in case I wanted to try it again for something else. And it was very expensive. I was looking for it around a year ago and it was very hard to find any - now it's everywhere. I know that there are different grades and different reactions to chemicals, so maybe it is helpful for some. But I don't understand why the laws are still on the books to deem it illegal. Supposedly if there is any THC in it at all it's in minute amounts.

Apparently it is a statutory timing issue. That is not unusual, for there to be a small gap while a bill is being finalized and while it awaits an effective date.

Hester Jordan Burkhalter was arrested on April 15, 2019 and spent 12 hours behind bars before bonding out on $2000.00.

Her charges were dropped, but her experience raises the question about why CBD oil is on store shelves in many forms in Florida but it is a felony to possess.

This is the so-called grey zone.

The 2018 federal Farm Bill legalized industrial hemp on the federal level, on the state level SB 1020 will establish Florida’s first hemp program.

The bill has yet to take effect.

Until it does, the Commissioner of Agriculture cannot create a state program to regulate hemp and CBD,and the products will remain illegal.

Keep in mind while Burkhalter was charged with a felony, if she had possessed less than 19 grams of leaf marijuana, she would have been charged with a misdemeanor.

I'll wait for more information on this vague concept called CBD oil. Without controls and testing, I'm guessing placebo effect -- same as with most undefined 'supplements' .

There's no reason to be paranoid. Throw it away. Or keep it. If you do, don't take it to Disneyland.

CBD oil works just fine for my husband. He has some straight CBD oil (he can operate a motor vehicle when taking it) and some with THC in it (he cannot operate a motor vehicle when taking it). He uses the straight CBD during the day when his pain is bad to help ease it. He uses it with the THC at night to lessen the pain more so he can sleep. It has worked better for him than his expensive prescription medication which only lasted 20 minutes to 30 minutes TOPS, twice a day (the most he could take his medication for).

Rhizo, please tell me more about the product you were using. Name, dosage, and where I might be able to order it. I appreciate it.

I have been using a topical CBD ointment to relieve the pain from an arthritis flare up on my right hand. It is the ONLY thing - other than ibuprofen - that has afforded any pain control. None of the popular topical analgesics worked worth a hill of beans!! And it has helped me to back off on the quantity of ibuprofen I was taking.

I highly recommend it.

GG - I tried CBD topical for awhile but did not notice any relief from it so I never bought a second jar. Maybe I didn't stick with it long enough but at $30 per ounce I wanted to see/feel results.

My RA med does a pretty good job controlling the pain but I still experience some stiffness from time to time.

I have experienced some (not very long-lasting) relief from CBD Daily Triple Strength Intensive Cream made from hemp; 1.7 oz with 180 mg CBD. I ordered it online from Earthly Body, Los Angeles, CA. www.earthlybody.com The hemp extract is about the seventh listed ingredient -- starts with water, safflower seed oil, stearic acid, glycerin, etc. It has no THC, according to the packaging. It was about $40. A teeny bit spreads thinly, more 'oil' than cream.

I have back pain from osteoarthritis, scoliosis, discs collapsing on one another. I take 2 - 3 Tylenol-4 pills daily and use Salonpas lidocaine patches for longer relief. DH tried this cream on his sore knee; no relief, but then even Aspercreme roll-on didn't help that much.not b

Neither CBD nor THC have proven effective in managing any of my aches and pains. But then neither have any of the many cortisone injections, so I’ll stop just short of calling it all quackery.

I realize this is an old thread bumped up but it has attracted further conversation.

Medicinal benefits from the use of cannabis in different ways and forms has been demonstrated (or demanded) enough that it's even been legalized in several politically conservative states. Ingesting small amounts of edibles for those seeking relief of chronic pain is not going to escalate your drug use into heavier drugs. Evening use for overnight pain relief is not going to endanger you. Like most treatments, few things work for everyone in every circumstance and these products seem to be very much in step. Great for some, zip for others.

My own recreational cannabis use ended in early adulthood, simply as a choice, but responsible home use has been ever-present among many I know over all these years. For those whose occupations or other situations in life don't require periodic drug testing, I can't image why there would be any reluctance to trying things more likely to be effective than CBD products. Many of you take pharmaceuticals that are far more dangerous, far more habit forming, than simple cannabis products. Aren't such views contradictory?

Such stuff is legal in my state though it is still not legal federally. The problem as I see it is whether or not the product is what it says it is. With no testing how do you know? We need federally enforced standards. I see no reason why this product shouldn't work for some people. There are many pain meds out there because they do not act equally for everyone. So someone not getting any benefit doesn't necessarily mean the product is useless for everyone but without proper testing which there cant be until the feds get over reefer madness we aren't going to know.

Be aware that regardless of your state’s laws, you are in violation of more than federal drug laws if you own a firearm and use weed. And having a medical card is implicit use. (I’m not talking CBD here.)

I have tried 3 different brands of CBD oil for arthritis pain and tremors but sadly I received no relief for either.

With hubby's cancer we were both taking the oil.....you put a few drops under your tongue. His was to help with the nausea, and mine was for worry and anxiety, to help me sleep. Neither of us noticed any difference at all. I didn't like the taste of the oil, it was like a pine tree. I put a few drops in a small drink.

I tried the capsules again a few months ago to see if they would help me sleep through the night. I very seldom sleep thru the night, I wake up regularly 2-3:30 and can't get back to sleep. Again, they don't help so I stopped.
