I take cannabis oil drops. Sometimes it works, other times not. I can only take 1-2 drops otherwise I get nauseous and my heart starts beating very fast. I am getting Marijuana drops in a month or so, which is different (stronger) and will let you know the results.

That is correct David it is called CBD oil. I didn't know if it was called the same in English as it is in Dutch. I am not blown away by the results, but it might work better for others.

I'm guessing you're referring to Cannabinidol (CBD) Oil. It's derived from essentially the same cannabis plants that people grow to get high, but CBD does not have the same psychoactive properties that the much more famous THC does, and appears to inhibit the psychoactive qualities of THC.

CBD appears to have some anti-inflammatory properties, but there's not much in the way of high quality research on the subject. On the other side of it, it appears very safe. IMO, it's probably worth a try.

I use medical marijuana and CBD oil/also Cannabis infused icy hot lotion. I find these help my pain. If you stick to Canabinoid products that have THC removed, you won't get high and it will ease the pain. BTW Cannabis is not a narcotic.
