CBD Use??

I’m in the US, and unfamiliar with your laws and am unsure if marijuana is legalized there. I am curious if you are able, or do you know of any results using CBD with cirrhosis? CBD is a derivative of marijuana, and marijuana is legal in my state.

I live in US, marijuana is not legal in my state but I think CBD oil is. Is it for nausea that you were thinking of using CBD? Smoking marijuana is well known to alleviate nausea in chemo patients. I would like to know what the medicinal uses of marijuana truly are, it is a travesty the laws prohibiting marijuana use have kept us in the dark.

Hi not legal in UK

But can get CBD going to give it a try

Good morning,

Cannabis is legal for personal and medicinal use in a few countries but NOT the UK.

The non-intoxicating Cannabidiol (CBD) is extracted from the flowers and buds of marijuana or hemp plants and it is being credited with helping treat a host of medical problems. But so far the evidence is scant for most of these touted benefits apart from its use in epilepsy.

CBD is being produced without much,if any, regulation, resulting in products that vary widely in quality.There are also concerns about possible interactions with other drugs and the possibility of it actually damaging the liver rather than helping it.

A lot more research needs to be done. We would advise extreme caution when using any type of remedy/supplement etc that has not been prescribed by your own doctor. Discuss it with them first please.

regards

Thank you. I was trying to determine if it would be beneficial or harmful?

Hi, I've been sober now for 10yrs after being diagnosed stage 4 liver disease. I could smoke almost every day and all I can say personally is, it has helped me!! My liver is stable and holding it's own with no problems. Nutrition is important, as it is with anyone! No alcohol, good diet and enjoy life....ps. I'm am not addicted and can take it or leave its but always 100% natural.

Hi, and thank you for your input. Do you have cirrhosis? Have you noticed any improvements with test results at all with CBD?
