To ask where you get CBD oil...?

Sorry for posting in AIBU but here for the traffic.

Family member has cancer. Due to start radiotherapy but due to their age and general health this may not even happen. She's living in constant pain and nausea and I just want to try anything to help. She's up for giving anything a go, currently at the point where she would be quite happy to give up.

I just want to make her more comfortable and less nauseous (and relaxed if that's a side effect Hmm).

Looking online is frying my brain - I can't tell what's legitimate and what isn't. Friends aren't forthcoming with where they would get it. Shockingly I know I could get THC tomorrow if I wanted, but can't settle on CBD oil that MIGHT actually work.

If anyone has ANY IDEAS thank you.

I use medicinal cannabis it's incredibly expensive. Bonkers really. But it has really helped my pain. I was deeply skeptical but it has helped a lot. You start low dose and increase gradually so she won't feel "high" right away.

The analgesic effects are separate to the psychotropic ones. It's possible to achieve pain relief without high.

You shouldn't need to muck around with the dosage too much.

Unfortunately the most effective way to titrate is smoking - which isn't ideal. Vaping is a lot better if you can.

Edibles aren't great for pain relief as they take to long to be able to adjust the dosage. Also the pharmacokinetics are different.

I got £340 worth of CBD products from CBD Asylum for £79.99, they have an offer on at the moment & sell the buds if you want to roll your own cigarettes.

I was placed on a gradiated scale by pain management consultant, increase by 0.1 every week with double dose before bed.

What formulation of cannabis ? Sativex ?

I take EleCeed Tincture with a 1:1 THC:CBD ratio

makes note. Thank you.

Sativex is sublingual, and that's a good way to get the dosage right. But it's not really available to more home grown remedies. And for almost everyone in the UK Sativex is unavailable anyway.

I know nothing about other brands and ways of taking it I do it under my tongue 4x per day, issued from here integroclinics.com

Twinwoo · 21/01/2022 18:44

Work for one of the main CBD companies selling in the UK, more than happy to help please DM me.

I'm not trying to hard sell or anything at all just a genuine Mumsnet user who happens to know a lot about how CBD can help Smile

Good afternoon everyone! I have been using cbd products for several years and in the afternoon I buy hometownherocbd.com/collections/delta-9-gummies . Since I work in a women's team and I'm a pretty calm person by myself, sometimes something comes over me and I start snapping at everyone like a bitch. But with the help of cbd gummies that I started taking, I began to notice that I became more calm, mentally balanced. I even had better sleep and significantly reduced pain during menstruation.

That's probably the best deal but I feel bit wary buying off Amazon - I'm giving it to an old lady 🧐 how do you find it?

Zipityzip mine wasn't from Amazon, it was direct from CBD Asylum

You can buy CBD oil in your local pharmacy. I just checked and boots has an entire range of CBD products from cbd oil to gummies.

Apologies, I meant we can buy CBD oil in OUR local pharmacy.
