Has anyone had any success with treatment from Cannabis oil?..... I have had huge success with smoking a tiny amount of cannabis but now have the opportunity of buying some oil which I would rather use instead of smoking.

Hi - I haven`t tried it as I believe you have to make sure it is compatable with your medication. After a particularly bad night I am considering it seriously. Let me know how the `non-smoking` works.

I am on medically prescribed cannabis oil. It is 2 parts CBD and one part THC. It helps me to sleep and reduces the restless leg symptoms. It is legal in Australia though expensive and not many doctors are trained to prescribe it. I believe it should be more widely available everywhere and not $400 for 40 mL. I find 1 ml sufficient but many people would need more and this makes it very unaffordable. Hopefully things will change If you can get it on the black market good for you.

Hi Kelirock - If you search by that subject, you will find many discussions of it on here

I find the oil extremely relaxing if I inhale it as smoke , even if I don't sleep find it is a good feeling just l lying there and eventually drifting off to sleep happy, problem here in NZ it is illegal

Hi - are you taking any other prescribed meds for your rls? My Holland and Barrett want to know if it is compatable with ropinirole and baclofen and codeine?? Any ideas very welcome.

Franklin I can't comment on those as had stopped both before taking CBD; augmentation. How good is your GP? Better still your pharmacist? Sorry cannot help you Good luck. Best regards Sleek Cat

many individuals will continue to use liquid THC thc-vape-juice.com/the-pitf... for recreational use, as it results in an extremely potent high that far surpasses that of traditional marijuana smoking. However you choose to make (and/or use) liquid THC, do so with wisely and make sure to proceed with caution ever step of the way. For these uses,

liquid THC can offer fantastic therapeutic benefit.
