I CAN NOT stress enough anyone who is thinking of using this & on any type of medication, especially any type of pain patches to first check with the medical team you’re under. I have C/A.

I have never done any type of illegal drug in my life, but after seeing it advertised in well known health stores & After ppl going on at me to try this ‘medical cure’ I decided to speak to my GO, Neurologist & Professor I’m under only to be told under NO circumstances should I even attempt this, it would have numerous interactions with the medication I’m taking & could even result in a coma or death due to the high dose age of Benumorphine (morphine) patches I’m on. I was told if I did want to try it then it would be my choice but would have to first come off my medications & be off them long enough for them to be out of my system. So PLEASE check with the medical professionals you’re under before starting this, you could do a lot more harm than good!

I did us CBD jell for insomnia. It worked for a while, but not for long. Had to take a bit on a spoon with honey due to the awful taste.

Now, I use CBD oil and spray it on my scarred and painful chest. It takes the pain away for most of the day. I recommend it.

I do not smoke it.

My post wasn’t about if it works or not, it was about making sure you check with the medical professionals that your under that it’s ok for you to use, especially if you’re on any prescribed medication/s, in case there’s any interactions.
