I wish I could explain it to you so you would understand, it's really quite easy but I cannot find an easy way to explain. I think HH explained it to somebody somewhere. Hope she will help you.

Hi Caza, any links, if you just google and get on page you want to post, go to bar at top of page (normally just says google.com but don’t worry about that) then press on it until it comes up with little black bar saying ‘copy’, click on copy. Open your post or reply, press down, comes up ‘paste’ click on that & hey presto up comes link to page. You can still type message/post after it. I use old iPhone se & it’s much easier than i’ve made it sound, honest 😀 x

Careful with the CBD oil. If you know about cannabis growing it takes a lot of pesticides, rodenticides. fungicides, etc. to get a crop worth selling. Most CBD oils are bogus or very low in cannabis but that may be better bc with less toxins, LOL. It's the new snake oil and what's really in that bottle ...? Keep in mind that China supplie cannabis for many companies in Europe. In the USA they can't even find CLEAN batches without pesticides, fungicides etc for medical marijuana!! They even let the unclean batches through for medical marijuana because they couldn't find any clean enough. Growing indoors is not any better especially with mold, fungi. etc. and mites and other insects still are pests. Guess this was always the case with the plant.

I noticed on my GP's online newsletter they can prescribe CBD from November. I am going to ask if any help to me when I go to see him Thursday. X

Hi Casa. I saw my GP yesterday and asked him about CBD for me, saying it was on their online news letter. He didn't know, it's a large practice but he is the head doctor. He went on to say they haven't received any directive as to what form it will be and who they will be able to prescribe it to, he did comment he thought it would be for chronic pain, but to keep in touch and he should be able to advise when they know. I did say I had bought some but wasn't happy as the additives they put in aren't known. When I looked on the news letter later, it wasn't on there, they have a daily news feed taken from the daily news, I only normally use the online service for prescriptions and to check test results.

I use CBD oil, not sure the strength. It seems to help a bit with the pain and sleep too. Can’t hurt, can’t really take too much I don’t think as it has no THC in it. All natural product, lots of nutrients and anti inflammatory. What’s not to like or try. Be interested to see how you go. 👍

Medical Cannabis has been legal in Canada for over 15 years. I was against medical cannabis when it first became legal in 2004. I was uttterly appalled....I was healthy and in no pain then....flash forwards to 10 years later & I was diagnosed with RA. The pain was awful. My rheumy suggested medical cannabis as an add on to MTX, sulfa, hydroxy and Left. It worked. I had no pain.

Today, Oct 17 2018 Cannabis has become legal in Canada. I am against legalization of pot. Too many stoners live here and I think Canada has made a big mistake legalizing it for pleasure use... Cannabis is a drug and it needs to be studied and used to control pain, not to make healthy people turn into stoners. ....Just my opinion

Gosh, I just re-read my reply to you that is posted above. I must admit I sound very opinionated. lol... I should have replied that cannabis needs to be studied, all over the world, by the medical professions as a pain reliever.

Medical cannabis is legal where I live. Medical cannabis had helped me control my severe pain. I highly recommend it. I, as well as my doctors, think of it as one less pill to take.

Anyways, as I am no longer in any pain, I no longer use cannabis....I guess what I'm trying to say is that cannabis isn't an addictive product. I was able to stop cannabis once the pain subsided.

All the best to you

Sue
