Yes, I have been using it for the past twenty years and for me, it makes it big difference especially with my tremor. I use both cbd oil and a tiny amount of thc, like five mgs.

I am thinking I ought to try medicinal cannabis for relentless back pain due to disc degeneration, but also to help with Parkinson’s Disease ...

Quick questions: I’m in New Zealand, where are you? Is it expensive? How do you take it and how much do you take?

Best regards, Phil 2bats

Try the hempress hemp oil. It was recommended to me by someone on here and I can’t remember who but hubby tried it and says it helps. It’s from NZ, no cbd or thc in it so no prescription required. Although he uses it for anxiety not pain.

I live in California and have found it for as little as thirty dollars on up to a hundred and twenty five for a month supply of the oil and there are some really good cbd gummies that may or may not have THC for as little as five dollars. One package of those usually last me a few weeks. There is an abundance of products here in California though. Many choices. Is it not legal there?

For anyone in Canada Hemp Oil is guaranteed to have less than 0.03% THC, so no worries about raids before the new Law decriminalizing possession of MJ.

I have used it almost daily , taking 1 -2 tsp. and when I did not take it for a couple of days I noticed the aches and stiffness comes back. Recently I have been taking Melatonin daily and am taking 30+ mg. to sleep all night and go back to sleep after the mandatory 'nightly visit' ..

I was given some gummy bears by a friend and did find it was easier to get to sleep but if I woke after 4AM I would sleep lightly for periods between 20 to ~45 min. and by 7 wanted to get up, still have some left in the night table.

A Brother, also a PwP, gave me a large zip-lock bag of MJ and If I could determine the THC content I might use it . I tried one of his brownies ate 1/4 and he was right about it having a kick, no thanks.

I have used it effectively for sleep in the past, but using it for sleep is different than using it for symptom relief. Indica variety for sleep and night use and sativa for daytime symptom use.

The combination of cbd and thc seems to help me the best for generally feeling better, for pain also, and for sleep.

I use it for insomnia, anxiety, and pain. It's great but you have to choose the right strain.

I’ve been using a vape pen with a formula for sleep. So far I don’t have brain fog in the morning. I’m thinking of getting the oil that has the same formula so long acting and quick work through the night. I’m still experimenting with the right CBD oils.
