CBD oil - has anyone tried it?

[JT77]

I used it for several months last year to give it a try, a friend was looking to get into selling it so a few of us tried it for him.
I didn’t notice a lot big gains in any area, however I did notice a few things.
One of the guys who is volatile on the course was less volatile. No club throwing, slamming shouting at himself etc.
I did notice myself that I slept better, no needing a pee in the middle of the night.
I didn’t notice any help with pain while using but noticed slightly more aches after using that were there before using but I forgot about, so maybe longer use it helps but it’s not a straight hit pain killer.
If nothing else it is a Supplement, used long term it could help in some areas but it is not a miracle formulae.
This was pretty high grade stuff I am lead to believe, a lot higher than you get in likes of Holland and Barrett.
I also have a cbd cream rub, and it’s good, but no better than tiger balm or hotspur for me.

Just make sure you don’t take any to Dubai or other countries that have a zero tolerance to anything remotely connected with drugs.

That one went straight over my head, unlike the axe should I be caught with it in Dubai.

I dunno why people think back pain will disappear?
The only solution I have found is a good stretching session.. yoga was the business, I found more yards, I felt stronger and I could play more. No pain killer did that for me, when you just make all those muscles in your legs less tight your back pain disappears unless it’s something worse . I don’t think you should be playing if something is hurting because it’s highly likely your making it worse.

I injured my back in a skating accident 40 years ago, it wasn't treated at the time and has always given me grief. I've spent the last 30 years practicing Aikido, being chucked around and having my joints manipulated and stretched 3 or 4 times a week. There isn't a day goes by that I don't wake up with some sort of pain, but keeping the practice going helps keeps the body loose and stretched, and actually really helps with the back.

The same with golf, walking and swinging the clubs keep me a lot looser than sitting around doing nowt. I think I'd be a decrepit seized up old man by now if I stopped doing either of them.

I appreciate not everyone has the same level of pain or cause of pain, and some may be a lot worse than mine, but I'm in the keep going, keep moving camp. Definitely keep stretching, whether that's Aikido, yoga or anything else.

I did purchase some of the Darren Clarke CBD to give it a try, only took it a couple of times, certainly didn't notice any wonder effect, didn't really notice any effects at all.

I think that’s the key, keep moving. The doctor diagnosed me with sciatica at 15. He said no sport for 2 weeks, which I did. On returning the issue was still there. The PE teacher said see a chiropractor, and I did. It turned out that my pelvis was not aligned due to a twisting injury sustained when I went digging soil samples with my dad. So the chiropractor had 6 weeks of sessions on it, and they did the job. It was also quite amusing because when I got used to what was going to happen my body would tense up and she would literally bounce off me, so she had to do it rather surreptitiously.
Since having knee injuries and sitting around with specialists discussing it all , I have learnt a lot and I use that knowledge as best I can to maintain myself … although being a full time dad and doing 40hrs a week work, leaves little personal time there are things you can do.

I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. There are pharmacological grade cannabinoid therapeutics approved for childhood epilepsy, cachexia and cancer pain, but their efficacy is modest even though you can at least rely that they contain what is stated on the box. The commercial CBD products are a bit more variable in quality, sometimes containing very different proportions of cannabinoids from those stated, and although there is plenty of anecdote (with a large measure of placebo effect) there is not much good evidence that they do anything meaningful. CBD is less risky than THC.

Chilli (per Hobbit above), in the form of capsaicin, is a proven analgesic and a reputable drug and a different matter altogether. No problem recommending that for joint pains and aches.

Good post ??

Some interesting responses in hear, JT77’s kind of was what I needed to read as this was my thoughts. The fact that he had the pleasure of trying a very high grade puts the temptation to rest.

However I know it’s used fir childhood epilepsy as per Ethan’s response and being someone who suffers with epilepsy the gains could be better than just pain killing.

The temptation continues.
