Members explored the differences between hemp oil and CBD oil in response to someone asking where to get it in New York, with the key clarification that CBD oil derived from hemp is legal in all states and can be taken sublingually or vaped without affecting drug tests. Several members shared their personal experiences with cannabis products for pain and sleep relief, mentioning edibles like brownies as an effective nighttime option, while one member provided detailed information about New York's medical marijuana program, including dispensary locations and the need for registered prescribing doctors. A recurring theme was the hope of reducing prescription medications through plant-based alternatives, paired with encouragement to research dosages carefully and consult with rheumatologists about what might work best for individual RA management.

I have no idea, I'm going to my Rheumatologist tomorrow. Have a list of things for her, including this damn pain under my breasts. My rib cage is swollen, so it's a great time for a doctor to have a look. As far as I knew, it was still hard to get in NY and the dispenseries are downstate. But I will check it out. Hope you all have a good day, filled with kindness and rest

Ok kids. Talked to my Rheumatologist. CBD oil, what we are interested in, is legal in ALL states as it is from Hemp. It can be taken sublingually or vaporized, your choice as vaping is not the same as smoking. Be careful the dose, research and check online. American Shaman online offers 40% off with code FEDUP40

As far as medical marijuana, we have now under 400 doctors registered to prescribe. Drs take a 6 hour course before registering. In Niagara County we are Blessed that the Lewiston Greenhouse has a license to grow and sell, we just need prescribers. Check at
www.health.ny.gov/regulations for more updates.

As a side note, I am going through info on biologics for RA, as my current treatments have shown no improvement. If anyone has anything to help me decide about my RA , I would appreciate it. I thought the changes I've made etc. would have me doing better, sadly no. I'm happy to lose the orals meds I didn't think were helping but I'm nervous about what's next...
