Can somebody explain briefly

1. Why Amazon seem to only sell Hemp Oil?

2. What is the difference between CBD oil and Hemp AND which is best for relief of our symptoms?

Thanks very much

Real CBD oil is made from the flower of the plant, while hemp oil is made from the stalk. You can buy hemp oil over the Internet in all 50 states because it is of little, if any value. CBD oil requires a prescription in most states and is illegal in many. Charlotte's Web is a good website for doing research.

Am very tempted to add an extra plant to my greenhouse for next year. Just balking at the costs of seeds (which are apparently legal to buy in the UK, as long as you don't germinate them)

'as long as you don't germinate them'! Don't you just hate being treated like a child by politicians. The older I get the more I'm beginning to see the possibility of anarchy.

Yup. Totally ridiculous that Opioids (which kill millions of people) are legal, but cannabinoids not.

Jeeves, the difference is that hemp oil does not contain cannabinoids.

Hi jeeves.

I use Lovehemp Hemp Extract 400mg atomiser spray amd Ambience CBD oil 300mg.They are both available from Vapemate in the UK. Click on their site and go to CBD Club at the top of page . Both work for me, they work out at about £30 each. The oil I use in a vape (Aspire) lasts about two months and the spray (sqirted under the tonque) last abut 4 to six weeks. Hope they work.

Thanks JohnBoy. But then that leads me into another question: why do some smoke it, why do others vape and why do some take drops? Is there any difference in purpose and outcome?

Hi jeeves

I've never smoked tobacco (did do some weed in '60s/70s, so vaping it was the easiest. My wife is an ex-smoker who vapes ,so I borrowed one of her vapes and bought the vaping CBD oil and it worked for me. I have tried weed in a bong, but afterwards didn't like the effect (must be getting old). Someone said about the Hemp oil and when I saw it was available on the same site I tried that . (PDers will try anything to stop the tremors) . Both oils calm my tremor down for a few hours, but don't stop it. The CBD oil/capsules are sold in Holland and Barrett, I don't how strong though. I've been told they don't taste very good. My hemp oil is lemon flavour and CBD cherry, (don't know if they count as part of my 5aDay) Hope this helps.

HI Jeeves

hollandandbarrett.com/shop/...

this is legal since it has the psychoactive components taken out (THC). Reduces my tremor rather than stops it so gave it up but worth a try and now much cheaper!

Best
