CBD/THC

[Number4]

Has anyone tried CBD or THC to treat BD or the pain associated with the symptoms?

What are the laws in the UK? I’m in the US.

I’ve tried it and can say it is great for the pain. It works on the cannabadiol system in your body. It causes depression in me so I had to stop, but it did help with my stress, which indirectly helped with my flares. My internal medicine doctor told me to get on it. Told me what to take and to vape it.

It’s not currently legal in my state but do you mind telling me what the doc told you regarding strains and the product for vaping. I might be moving.

Might want to check with your employer if you’re going to transfer with the same company. Because the feds (U.S.) haven’t legalized it, I’m not allowed to have pot any of its derivatives. This applies even if the state permits it in any way, medical or otherwise.

The opportunity for retirement is just around the corner. Considering how often I've been sick I may be better off retired instead of on sick leave.

Hi there! I've tried pure CBD tinctures in the past and found that they helped with reducing the number of flare ups. It was quite expensive so I was not able to afford more than a month or two's supply. I am currently taking a drop of RSO every single night. It is significantly cheaper and contains both THC and CBD (mind you, a much lower concentration of CBD than what I was previously using). It helps me to get to bed at night by numbing the pain that I've been feeling throughout the day completely. I'm finding it to be a good temporary night-time solution until I am able to afford the CBD tinctures again, considering that using it during the day time would be out of the question, taking things like driving and workplace restrictions into consideration. Are you located near NYC by any chance? I've been quite interested in hearing from someone who has seen Dr. Yazici (a leader in Behcet's research). Sending good vibes your way.

Thank you for the reply. I’m in a no THC states. As in why worry about T(N)HC (TN Health Care) when we have Percocet. One patient under the care of my rheumatologist went to the clinic in NYC. That doctor told mine to keep doing what he was doing and that he wouldn’t change anything. At least with that patient.

Why do family members have concern re: THC and addiction but not worry about oxycodone then compare and contrast THC against the very benign use of CBD but not oxy?
