Yes. For me it helps. It’s not an instant relief, but like all medication it helped over time. I chose a strain high in CBD with low THC. I do this because I’m not trying to get “high”.

I'm glad it helps you. How did you figure out the right combination of CBD and THC?

Best Wishes,

Leslie

I started out only using CBD which when you buy or order it online it’ll be CBD from Hemp. After doing my research I learned that the CBD from Hemp isn’t as potent as it is from Cannabis, so it’s cheaper to buy a higher CBD strain of flower and you’ll receive more potient CBD along with small amount of THC which is also beneficial. Also I tried different things to get my maximum benefits. Remember everyone is different. My tolerance may be less than others.

I have high tolerance to edibles and inhaling burns my bronchitis damaged throat. What form do you use. The CBD with 3% THC did not phase me.

I vape because I don’t like the smell of burning (smoking).

Hi, I’ve also tried CBD and not interested in a high. I like the peppermint spray. As long as CBD amount higher than THC it helps with no high. My sense is that it’s different for everyone and thus lots of trial and error. Or at least some strains better than others.

Agree... Trial and error is the best way for individuals to get their best relief.

I've been using just over the counter CBD. It's helping and I'm off baclofen. The neurologist nurse practitioner said that if it helps, I should try medical marijuana. In Florida, it's a money maker for the state, so I'm holding off on the expense for as long as I can. Plain CBD is cheap. I use the gummies from justcbdstore.com. They are also helping me sleep better.

Is the purity regulated with non-prescription ?

They have an outside company do testing, for what it's worth. I'm sure the RX version is purer. I'll be talking to my neurologist about it in April.

For me vaping cannabis works faster and better for restful sleeping than CBD but both are effective. For the CBD I use the 1000mg tincture sublingually from Koi and it works well. If I am having bad muscle spasms they will usually subside in 5-10 minutes.

I am looking into it with medical marijuana. Fifteen of both is one opinion. I will let you know.

I've been on the medical program in Minnesota for a year now. I was first prescribed it for my trigeminal nerve pain as an alternative to the nasty pain medication I first recieved. It has been really good for controlling both the pain in my face and the spasms in my legs. I usually get the 2:1 ratio oil ( two parts CBD to thc) and take a couple puffs before bed, and during the day when stuff gets really bad. But for now, it has helped me greatly and I hope it continues.

Not what you're looking for?
