has anyone ever used or know anything about hemp cream? I always use arnica gel and have done for yrs but thought I would try something different, so I bought some of ebay it arrived today, I took it out of packet and just left it on the table to use after my shower, then my son picked it up to have a look what it was and said why am I buying drug cream there is a picture of a plant on the label,as personally do not agree with drugs use, I'm worried now thais cream contains some sort of drugs. I have done some research and there's lots about cbd and thc but I don't know what that is, so now scared to use it just incase it has drugs in and will interfere with mu medications. Any help gratefully appreciated.

If it is basic hemp seed oil cream then it is simply a beauty cream like many other types (coconut, shea butter etc)

While it is part of marijuana family, it contains no drugs.

CBD is extracted from hemp and if a cbd cream it should be labelled as such. Thc is the hallucinagenic/high from marijuana and is illegal in the UK unless medically prescribed.

CBD products by law cannot contain more than trace thc in the UK (cannot remember the percentage)

So you can use your cream without worrying you are using something with drugs

Hi, CBD is a chemical substance found in cannabis that has medical benefits. It will not get you high, because it does not contain THC

Hi....My husband and I both use Hemp Cream recommended by our GP. It does help and eases things for a while. We feel it is better than Tramadol which we have both had. We buy on Amazon and have no bad effects from it. Worth a try.

I use a CBD balm and find it helps. Seems a lot of people are turning towards CBD now.

I'm happy it doesn't contain any THC...I don't want to be high...I want to be out of pain!!
