Mine is 1500mg per dose. And £80 a bottle.

What sort of dosage do people start out on?

biglips · 28/12/2018 20:14

Mama.... The lowest is the best to start with and then build up.

Yes cbd bros is supposed to be really good. You can even buy chocolates with cbd in it!!

Can it be used to help with sleep? My sleeping is terrible since the menopause.

My husband has ms and uses it.
The shop bought weaker version is rubbish though.
We buy it online from a trusted seller on Facebook its not cheap at £25 a gram which does lasts a while,but my husband hasnt needed a painkiller since March !

Does it show up as actual cannabis use in drugs tests?

zazzabeans · 28/12/2018 21:07

@chesney not sure on that one but my husband gets bloods done every month and they never mention it however not entirely sure that it would show on a full blood count 🤷🏻‍♀️
Sorry couldn’t be more help

Chesneyhawkes1 · 28/12/2018 21:14

I'll have to look into it. I get random drugs tests at work and wouldn't want to fail one 😬

My friend uses it and says it's helped her a lot.

zazzabeans · 28/12/2018 21:20

@ches I know it doesn’t matter on any insurances as the question states other than cannabis have you taken any drugs in last 12 month.

jmh740 · 28/12/2018 21:22

Zazza beans please can I ask what your husband takes for his ms? My oh is on tecfidera I got him some cbd oil for Xmas but he isn't felt well for a few days not sure if it's the oil or he's having a relapse

We tried this in between the use of cough cough the actual stuff for my Nan.
She has alzehiemers and had issues with her spine which meant she was in too much pain to walk.
We found the cbd oil didn't work and have continued to acquire the other stuff with great results.
It calms her and her pain is much much better.
I think they remove THC which is the illegal stuff

zazzabeans · 28/12/2018 21:39

@jmh
He started on tecfidera 2 year ago but it affected his blood count so then started on avonex injection but had a relapse.
He was started on a new medication called mavenclad -which he took 10 tablets this year and will take 10 next year and nothing for 4 year - no one has been on it that long so we don’t know effects.
He was on maximum paracetamol, ibuprofen, codeine and gabapentin but never needed any since March
He still works full time and doesn’t get many symptoms apart from tiredness :)

zazzabeans · 28/12/2018 21:41

@jmh it could be a relapse but you never know for sure unless it is something that can be identified like blurred vision, developing a limp etc
My husband got a weird feeling in his groin and that was classed as a relapse 🤷🏻‍♀️

I use it as it really helps me. I have fibromyalgia allodynia and anxiety
