Cannabis oil

I've seen couple of videos on FB showing how cannabis oil helps calm tremors. Anyone using it?

Also would it be safe to take alongside rasagiline?

And is hemp oil the same thing?!

Thanks

Marc

While they are similar in some ways, there are important differences between hemp oil and CBD oil. As a consumer, it’s easy to get confused by phrases such as “cannabis oil” and “marijuana oil,” especially when many companies seem to use these terms interchangeably. Let’s take a closer look at hemp oil and CBD oil to learn how to distinguish the two.

What Is Hemp Oil?

Hemp oil is fabricated from the plant called hemp. In other words, it is a hemp extract taken from the seeds of the plant. While this type of oil can be extracted from all plants in the cannabis genus, industrial hemp is the only plant used for hemp oil. This type of hemp is specifically produced industrially and the amount of psychoactive substances that are contained in it is minimal.

Usages of Hemp Oil:

Hemp oil is great for cooking and a full of nutrients. It can provide a crispy and nutty taste to foods and can be a wonderful replacement for olive oil in salads.

It is a great natural moisturizer that can be used after a shower.

Hemp oil can be the base for different forms of plastic, instead of petroleum.

It is used in the production of paints that are more eco-friendly than petroleum-based paints.

It can be used as bio-diesel fuel, like other vegetable oils.

Hemp oil is used for making lotions, soaps and even some foods.

What Is CBD Oil?

CBD oil is the short form of the term cannabidiol oil. Cannabidiol is a natural component of industrial cannabis or hemp. CBD oil is cannabis oil that has a significant content of cannabidiol. It is made from the flowers, leaves and stalks of hemp and not from its seeds like hemp oil. CBD oil has become very popular in the medical marijuana industry, because it can be helpful in the treatment of various conditions without the typical intoxicating effects of marijuana use.

Usages of CBD Oil:

Can be used in the treatment of cancer .

It is used in the treatment of inflammatory disorders, anxiety, depression, seizures and neurodegenerative disorders.

Can be used in the treatment of epilepsy.

The Crucial Difference Between Hemp Oil and CBD Oil

Hemp and marijuana are cousins in the plant world, but marijuana has a much higher THC content than hemp. Hemp oil contains low levels of CBD – typically less than 25 parts per million – while CBD oil can be up to 15% CBD. Because the plants are related, some unscrupulous sellers of hemp oil are trying to market it for its medicinal value, which is negligible.

I hope the above is useful. I use CBD oil and would be pleased to share experiences with you. if you are interested then email me: tony@tonyleather.com

I have seen some videos too. It is amazing if it is true. I don't think it would interact with your other meds.

I started using it a month ago for tremors. Not sure if I notice any difference, but it is an antioxidant and neuroprotective, so I will take it for a while longer. Charlotte Web is a good product line of CBD oil, (Everyday Advanced) thats what I use. I am wondering about the CBD vape peen, as it bypasses the gut, wondering if it has benefit for tremor given that intake modality. I will try it and see... anyone else use the cbd vape pen?

My husband takes Charlotte's Webb Everyday Advanced for his REM Sleep Disorder. He started taking over a year ago. He was on Klonopin before this but the side effects were tough. He takes the Charlotte's Webb twice a day and also takes medical marijuana (Mary's Medicinal capsules) to help sleep. He rarely has the screaming, kicking, punching that comes with REM Sleep Disorder. He sleeps sound most nights. As you are aware waking up after dosing with Klonopin leaves you off balance and brain fog for most of the morning. The drug was also affecting his kidneys. He hasn't been diagnosed with PD yet, but were aware of the percentage of people that get PD when you've had REM Sleep Disorder for as many years. I think the CBD oil (Charlotte's Webb Everyday Advanced) and the medical marijuana helps with protecting the brain, calming anxiety, and he is so much happier. We live in Florida and they just passed medical marijuana. I'm so grateful that we have more alternatives. We just got a vape pen but haven't tried it yet. Any questions write me back.

Hello There, I live in Florida as well and I have been researching Charlotte's Webb Everyday Advanced and thinking about buying it from the website cwhemp.com/all-charlottes-w... and I am wondering if this was the site that you buy it from. I am looking at this for my dad to help him with his PD. He hardly ever sleeps at all, and I am really praying to get him something that truly truly helps him with no side effect. Without the THC would be great because he tried that, but doesn't want to fall during the night when he gets up to use the bathroom. Nothing that gets him the stoned feeling. I got him the CBD drip from the local tobacco shop here, but that hasn't helped. I am willing to buy him the Charlottes webb everyday advanced to try. I would like to know what website to get it from, because there are so many out there. It looks like the charlotte webs advance price is 149.99 for 30ML. I am willing to get it if it works. Willing to give it a try. Where do you get the charlottes web for your husband? Is the website I stated here. I would greatly appreciate your reply here. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks

Good morning. We do buy the CBD oil from the Stanley Brothers in Colorado. The one we get is the Everyday Advanced 5000ml that cost $250.00 for a bottle. He takes this twice a day and it last for a month. The Everyday Advanced is the strongest CBD oil they make. They can ship to Florida since a year ago when Florida allowed marijuana for special diseases. This helped with his sleeping and anxiety.

We just came back from Colorado last month from vacation. I learned so much about marijuana and all it does for diseases such as PD and other brain disorders.

We ended up buying CBN capsules made by Mary's Medicine. Everybody that worked at the dispensaries kept telling us that you take two of these two hours before bedtime and you will sleep all night. We've been back three weeks and he has been sleeping all night. He has no side effects except he is happy when he wakes up. As I shared earlier he has REM Sleep Disorder which is a pre-curser to PD.

I don't think you can get Mary's Medicine yet in Florida but the Everyday Advanced helps as well. Does your dad also have REM Sleep Disorder? If you have any questions please get back to me. We're trying to find a neurologist here in Florida who subscribes medical marijuana. We think that we will be able to get the CBD oil and the CBN capsules cheaper. I can tell you that I believe both of these have changed my husbands life. If we have to we will go back to Colorado to get more of the CBN capsules from Mary's Medicine what a difference. Hope you research that as well. But CBD oil is also calming to the brain. Laura

I forgot to mention the oil they sell here in Florida that you mention doesn't have enough of the cannabis in it as they can't sell in Florida. The Charlottes Web Everyday Advance is the strongest. It does have like .03% THC, very minimal and has no effects on my husband. He takes this twice a day around 5 in the afternoon and about an hour before bedtime. I would order a bottle and see what he thinks. He takes it with an eye dropper that you can get from Walgreens. Get back to me with any questions. We live in Tampa, FL. Laura

Hello Laura, I greatly appreciate your reply here. Thanks so much.

I would like to get the same as you get for your husband. Just verifying here if that you order your husband from the section on this site ~85 mg/mL of Charlotte's Web With Cannabinoids

EVERYDAY ADVANCED HEMP OIL

30ML $149.99 - 100ML $274.99

from the website cwhemp.com/all-charlottes-w...

Thanks so much for sharing the info. I look forward to hearing back from you.

I just ordered the 30ML bottle for 149.99 from the website. After reading what you wrote me a few times I suppose that is the correct stuff. I appreciate your help Laura. I will research the CBN capsules made by Mary's Medicine too. You mentioned getting an eye dropper from walgreens. Doesn't the bottle have an eye dropper already? Perhaps you mentioned that because you can lessen the amount by getting the separate eye dropper so a person can increase as needed. I get it now I believe. I guess I'll just start him out slowly with it and add as needed. Thanks for reading Laura. Much appreciated for everything. Will be in touch. Thanks for your willingness to help.

We actually order the Charlottes Web advance 5000 ml this is the strongest they make and it cost 250 a bottle it comes in chocolate mint. What you ordered is not the same strength. I wonder if you could call them and get the stronger one. I believe it will help him sleep and lessen any anxiety. The stronger the better. With that bottle you need an eye dropper. I think they will switch out your order. Give them a call they are very nice.
