Been there, done that?

With conflicting reports on the benefits or otherwise of Cannabis Oil for COPD, can anyone speak from genuine personal experience?

[Cary1977]

There is a group on Facebook dedicated to use of cannabis for COPD. I am not a medical professional and do not endorse the unlawful use of any substance. You may however find useful information there related to the consumption questions you have.

Hi Pippers - Although we encourage discussion of alternative treatments we have to bear in mind HU's terms of use which state that contributions 'must comply with applicable law in the UK and in any country from which they are posted'. As cannabis use is illegal in the UK your question cannot really be answered here.

However, if you type 'cannabis oil' in the Search British Lung Foundation' box it will bring up several earlier discussions on the subject, which you may find interesting.

Apologies Admin; as CBD appears to be available in UK I assumed it to be legal. I shall certainly see what's been discussed, as above. Cheers!

Admin CBD is legal in the UK you can buy it off Amazon and at Holland and Barrett.

[annienell in reply to CarolCT]

Yes. CBD is legal in the UK. It's cannabis with the THC component which is illegal here.

[Pippers in reply to annienell]

Ah, there y'go then, in my innocence I thought cannabis was cannabis, didn't know there were two different products.

A lot of people use CBD oil . yes it will work . people are saying lung function has improved by 12%

I took good quality CBd oil- without the THC component and it did nothing for me.

I take the legal CBD oil, I’m not sure it will do anything to improve lung function long term, but short term it helps me in other ways.

Interested in anything that can help my husband deal with newly diagnosed severe COPD + long term anxiety/depression I'm grateful to any suggestions...
