I got myself some CBD to see if it could help some joint pain and maybe destress me a little.
I've been taking about 50mg a day and I don't really feel anything. It says on the bottle that 3 times is max (that's 50mg), but other websites talk about over 1000mg can be tolerated.
Does anyone else take it and how much did you have to take for you to feel the effects?

Don't know about CBD. My wife has serous back pain and smokes cannabis to help with it. It is actually quite effective, and one doesn't have to deal with all the issues painkillers bring with them. In California it's legal and there are stores that offer various types.

My wife has used it and she says it is less effective than smoking the plant. I don't know what's legal in your country, but she says marijuana cookies or candles are more effective than CBD. |

From what I've read, CBD needs to build up in your system in order for it to work properly. It does what it's supposed to, in time.
THC on the other hand has noticeable effects quickly. It depends on how it's consumed. Smoking is fast, edibles take a little while to kick in. Also illegal in many places.
THC = "immediate" relief. This is also the illegal compound in most places. Different strains have different effects to the mind and body.
CBD = long lasting relief. More readily available, less laws against it (if any), not the psychoactive part of the plant.
There's a huge difference in quality of CBD as well, it depends on how it's "made." 50mg seems like a good starting point.
It's been proven time and time again that Marijuana and the compounds that it contains can be beneficial to treat many physical and mental health problems. As with all things, it depends on the individual.

I've tried taking the CBD in large doses for over a couple of months and I didn't notice any difference.

This is really interesting. Thanks guys.
I'll keep it going and see what happens in a few weeks. The bottle was expensive so I'll be using every last drop.
It was purchased at my local pharmacy so I'd like to think the quality is good.

It’s never done anything for me. I stick with the THC when I do need something for discomfort or restlessness

Many CBD producers claim that their products contain no THC, but there are too many examples of THC showing up in blood tests. Something to consider for someone that works in a security/ safety sensitive position that performs random drug tests.

Mom tried it for a while for her MS symptoms, after someone in her support group said it was helping him. It didn't help her, as far as she could tell.
I have some CBD balm that I rub on some of the joints in my hands, occasionally, for arthritis. It seems to help, but it's hard to say. It could just be from the massage of rubbing it in.

I never had success with CBD or sleep or pain.
THC helps but my lungs will not permit smoking or vaping. Tincture seems to be the most effective. Long uptake time.

my mom has seen relief for bursitis after a couple weeks of use. Give it time before you assess if it works for you

I get mine from Tommy Chong. I figure he should know. I also have some ointment that work well, but I think that it's the standard linament ingredients that make it work.

Having said that, like Urb, I did find the hand balm version more effective. |

Figuring the dose can be difficult I got some oil from Tommy that's 6000/bottle. 6000 what I don't know. They say to take 5 drops. I don't know how to break that down to units (milligrams?) of CBD.

6000 millgrams, and a drop is supposed to be 50 mg. I know, I read it on the internet.

I think the starting does is around 50mg per day and then increase slowly if necessary. I also believe that it takes a while (maybe 2-3+ weeks) for it to take proper effect. I'll report back in 2-3 weeks, if I'm still alive. |

I have a bunch of gummies too. They run about 15mg/gummy. They are worthless it seems to me, except for the ones that contain Factor 8,which are disturbing.

I would love to have a Medical Cannabis card. My 87 year old MD ain't into dat! So, I have to wait until he retires so I can find a more contemporary physician. The old guy I first met when he was an Intern in 1967. I am nothing if not loyal.

Sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. Like in Resident Evil? Yeah, I dunno. I think it's like THC with a few changes to the molecules. They made it illegal in Texas a couple of months ago, but now there is factor 10 or something. 👀 |
