CBD Oil Fixed Chronic Back Pain
Fixed or numb it?
I have heard on different boards that people have experienced positive results with it for pain management.
I don't do any drugs and try to stay away even from prescribed and over the counter medicine, but No doubt keeping any MJ product illegal is the work of corrupted politicians.

I have also experienced the benefits MJ can give to severe back pain. I am one of those that get a weird effect from the psychotropic element of marijuana. Has anyone used the oil that doesn't have the mind altering effects? Is it as effective?
CBD oil is not THC, it is not supposed to have a psychotropic effect.
IMHO you are correct.
They are very different attributes of the plants life cycle and with a 100% certainty they have different impacts.....CBDs are present throughout the plants life cycle and THC is predominantly a byproduct of flowering or the later phases of the plants life cycle.The availability of each compound can be managed and tailored in different ways.THC is sympatheticlly supported by those seeking to combust and the plant is encouraged to produce this compound.Those seeking to not combust the plant sometimes look for a balance between the 2 compounds or simply utilise it before the THC is produced prodigously by the mature plant late in its life.
Well, is there a difference?
but the law says "Not you druggie!" and arrests you if your card expires.

That's really wonderful -- I'm so happy you found it!
I used CBD oil for my old black lab when his arthritis got too bad. That boy would spit out any meds I tried to give him except aspirin. Even if I put it in peanut butter, he managed to get the peanut butter and spit out the pills! But he loved his cbd oil and peanut butter sandwiches. It didn't bring him relief as quickly as you, but within a few days he was bouncing around and playing with the younger dogs again. It was truly a joy to behold.
After doing some research on CBDs and learning of its many many healing uses, it's become a go-to for me. When I'm looking for natural remedies for some ailment, I check CBD first.
I just ordered some CBD gummies for a friend dealing with alcoholism. CBDs can heal the damage caused by alcohol to the "reward center" of the brain. It can also alleviate alcohol withdrawal symptoms. I'm hoping it works like a charm for him too.
Enjoy your newfound pain-free living!!!

Fellow Broken down cop here and also a STRONG advocate for Cannabis.
Cannabis has kept My opiate dosage the same for 14 years. My injuries can't be operated on YET, so until then I do what I have to do. Exercise; Meditation; Yoga and make sure You stay hydrated. I use a Coconut/CBD oil and slather it on every day. Head, eyes, mouth, ears, nose, arms anywhere that may be exposed to Sol.
I do SunGazing the last hour of daylight to help with the Pineal Gland...
There is a strain for every pain.
* See * Endo-Cannabinoid System This will explain the reason(s) CBD oil works. As noted it is also great for dogs.

Very correct....except it isn't the reward center of the brain that is cued by alcohol or MJ or any strong anti-parasitic it is the survival center which is much different and must be managed in different ways. Referring to the reward center seems to me to inadvertently lay part of the dynamic at the feet of the victim who is undereducated or underinformed.
The reward center analogy is very close and that is a powerful dynamic but not as POWERFUL as the survival instinct that entrains the brain and body when anti-parasitics are introduced.

I tend to agree with you based upon what I've read. I use that term -- "reward center" -- because it is the accepted clinical term. But I agree with your point. It may seem a fine line, but it's an important distinction. Especially for these purposes. At some point, alcohol affects changes to the brain and body, and consumption of alcohol is no longer a "choice" in the sense that we understand it, but a matter of survival.
This may be just as true in regards to other physical conditions. The body adapts to the conditions it finds itself in, compensating for too much of something or too little of something.
I'm not the person to do it, but I think someone more knowledgeable than me could make a very good case that our bodies are truly cannabinoid deficient. Correcting that state could do miracles for our overall health.
The subject of CBD came up in a discussion on another group I am a member of in relation to dogs. So many people were having great results I decided to give it a shot.
Less than 24 hours after the first dose it was like I had a new dog --- she was moving around so much better, and I wasn`t having to beg her to eat her food (she ate everything and licked her bowl clean --- it has been years since that has happened).
Now to figure out what brand of the "gummies" would be best for me ----

Same here--- I have a 13 year old black lab that has severe allergies to grass, and artritis, and severe storm/fireworks anxiety issues . I have been giving her benadryl for months , with some help with the allergies but not as much as I had hoped.

That first dose was Saturday night, and yesterday I reduced the benadryl to twice a day because she was doing so much better. And she is running around like a racehorse , and the hip joints that stayed warm to the touch are now normal temp.
I am sold !!!
Now to figure out what brand of the "gummies" would be best for me ---- severe back pain and migraines , and our insurance is so bad we might as well not have any so prescription meds are not going to happen. If the CBD works so well on my elderly dog, even if I get a fraction of the relief she has it would be well worth it !
Almost forgot... we had a nasty thunderstorm yesterday and she pretty much just slept through it. A miracle as far as I`m concerned.
