What symptoms do you think it could address?

CBD oil is what most people on this site have used. It can help with pain and anxiety.

Hi Cocodunny!

Some include 3 to 6 mg of CBD Oil via subling, usually before lunch but not necessarily, to stimulate appetite, reduce anxiety and as a co-adjuvant analgesic in neuropathic pain.

If you are interested see:

My first concern would be balance issues. What does the doctor say? Granni B

Hello. If I could obtain it legally I would try it to see if it would relax muscle spasms in my husbab’s neck. CBD oil was not helpful to him.

Seems you can get CBD with some bit of THC in it, (3%?)otherwise it may not be very useful for spasms and anxiety or sleep aid. Got this impression from reading here.

Since we can get it legally in Canada, without a prescription, we tried it in capsule form. I had hoped it would help Gerry to sleep, and increase his appetite. It did't help his appetite but it did relax him for awhile. I tried one and within 10 minutes was asleep for two hours.

Our neurology clinic does not approve of using it because of falls, confusion, but probably no worse than prescribed drugs in my opinion.
