Someone suggested you can get it for use in a vape. His father in law, with RA used it and he said it’s brought him relief.

in reply to dtech

That's Correct! You can also get it in tea bags, chocs, and coffee.

Hi Angel I am interested too. I tried the oil a while ago but it gave me bad indigestion and heartburn one more thing to cope with. So i gave up but if it now comes in different forms it sounds a possibility. I spend most of my time abroad but belong to a cannabis club so will have another try. Thanks for the info look forward to hear how you get on.

Please do as I am very sceptical about if it works or not.

in reply to Cheylann

I certainly will Cheylann as I am too, but we will give anything a try if it keeps us pain free and gives us a better quality of life without bad long term side effects! Merry Christmas xx

I agree I also will try most things even though I only half believe the hype. However I have been taking milk thistle powder for a gall bladder problem and have noticed that a lot of my stiffness and swelling/pain has gone. Not sure what it is but the only new thing I've taken is that. Who knows but I'm very interested in the results of the cannabis.merry Christmas to u as well.

How interesting! I want to give it to my dog but a bit scared as not sure how to. Anyway I will continue with it as my joints are Def lighter and it can't do harm. Apparently it is good for inflammation.

VeronicaF in reply to Cheylann

where did you get it cheylann? and how much do you take of it?

I think it clears out the toxins in liver ,I think?

I have a book somewhere on that will try to look it out later

VeronicaF in reply to Cheylann

I just looked it up in my horse herbal book, it says-milk thistels help protect the liver from toxins and supports liver functions especially when it is under pressure from the imbalance of hormones in the blood

also clover is a tonic where there is a debilitating disease

Than u Veronica. I started taking it for gall bladder slush as thought it might help. My gallbladder pain is still there slightly however the biggest improvement has been to the swelling and stiffness in my feet/ankles and as the milk thistle is the only new thing I've taken I'm wondering if it could be helping. According to Google it does have huge anti inflammatory properties.

To answer your question I bought a product called Biofinest powder off amazon. It was about 15 pounds but should last about 4 months. I sprinkle the tiniest amount on my porridge. Might be worth a try. Time will tell but I've definitely had a marked improvement in my joints (not sure about liver). Nothing to lose!

Could you please tell me where you bought it how much and what strength is it? I bought mine from Holland and Barrette it’s quite expensive I think from there xxx

You are wasting your money buying oil from the likes of Holland & Barrett, this is not cannabis oil, its just hemp oil, has has no healing effects at all, you need a genuine oil made from the cannabis plant, and that should have both CBD and THC, one without the other is of very little use : with a 1.1 ratio not less.

It’s been a month has it helped? Also does it help you sleep better?

in reply to cgregg718

Hi cgregg, I did a return post after a month,....personally I found no difference, but, on saying that I think mabey a stronger oil or higher dose could help. Think it’s something you have to play around with to get the correct dosage to lower your pain levels and this can be expensive. Sleep no better.

I’m trying turmeric capsules at the moment and will report back after a month. 🤗X
