I need advice on CBD oil...

I'm interested in buying some CBD oil and any advice would be greatly appreciated. Does the hemp oil work? How much should I expect to spend? Is it better to take it topically or orally? Does it interact with medications? Is there anything else that I should know?

Members shared mixed experiences with CBD oil for managing chronic pain, with some reporting relief from nerve pain, improved mobility, and better sleep, while others experienced headaches or no benefit at all. Several members offered practical guidance, including starting with low-cost samples to test effectiveness, understanding that CBD oil (without THC) differs from hemp oil, exploring various forms like vape pens or pills, and always consulting doctors about potential medication interactions before starting. A recurring theme was the importance of individual experimentation since results varied widely, with dosage, delivery method, and personal body chemistry all playing a role in whether CBD provided meaningful pain relief.

I love CBD and I get it from a website called cbdistillary and their prices are great and they have videos on how to use cbd and how it works. I like the isolate slab and I vape it. It's great for anxeity too. You can go to this site http://bit.ly/MarieHazzard

you can get it in pill form, the drops i tried were 50/50 ( i guess 50% of the THC free and the other 50% was the THC ) made me super tired, helped a bit w then pain though. The second one a tried was a 13/1 ( 13 being the THC free, 1 being the THC) didnt help me at all. it was going to run me about $60 a month. Some people need more or less and yes you should start with a small dose and work up, benefit is you know within like 45 minutes how it is working, hope that helps

I use CBD oil thru a vape pen. I bought my vape pen from MyVapeStore.com and I order Koi CBD oil for it. I also order my own flavorings from Amazon to add to the flavorless Kio CBD oil. Be advised that hemp oil is NOT the same as CBD oil. Hemp oil tastes nasty and didn't help me at all. CBD has helped greatly with my nerve pains and I am able to stay in bed longer at night.

CBD oil has no THC in it. It is not dangerous at all. It does not get you high!

Can't help a lot, but my daughter and I have recently started taking CBD oil. My daughter, 37 has not been diagnosed yet, she does have fibro and a long list of other problems which the DR's are thinking maybe Lupus. She only takes gabapentin when she gets really bad, but she seems to think the CBD oil is really helping. I on the other hand am still trying to work full-time and am on 2 different narcotics for my pain plus Savella for the fibro. I haven't really noticed yet if the CBD oil is helping. I think with the narcotics it may take a little longer for me. I'm not given up though cause eventually I would like to get off the narcotics.Good luck
