Hey everyone! Im hearing a lot about CBD oil these days - what do people take it for, does it work and if so any recommendations?

I've just started taking it, driven by neck pain. Got a very pure oil - it's honestly the worst taste in the world - makes me want to vomit as a reflex Grin.

No improvement in symptoms but it's only been a week - it can take a couple of weeks to build up and take effect apparently.

I would honestly never buy another bottle of the oil due to the vile taste - would buy the gummies or capsules next time.

I take it for my ADHD.

I get a water (or coffee Smile) soluble one from here.

I have gummies. Not sure if it's a placebo effect but they calm me down. I've been sober for over 900 days and when I'm desperate for a drink to deal with stress I have a gummy instead.

Awesome @andadietcoke Grin

Does it help with anxiety? Is there any research into how safe it is to take?

I'm not 100% as I don't use it for anxiety, but theirs plenty of research available to show its safe.

I would go with a known brand and check to see if they have certifications to show that the product is safe to use.

Dear @anna114young it is worth it to read www.biomedicanna.com Blog posts very week, as they are posting amazing articles about CBD products, and also selling natural CBD cosmetic and drops aswell. Very responsible company

Yes I take a capsule of the Jacob Hooey from H&B for anxiety/stress when I feel the need, and do find it helps me to feel calmer.

Watching with interest, as I would like to know if it is effective for arthritis...

Hi there! I've heard a lot of positive feedbacks about CBD and its effect. I've never taken it but I want to try cos I have insomnia. I'm taking meds but they actually don't always work the way I need and I'm afraid of sides. My friend who is taking CBD for about already three months says that it's worth trying. He said it's better to try gummies Area 52 gummies as they are sweet and not so nasty as oils, but I'm not sure about the effect. Do you think gummies have the same influence and can actually help?

RaeCJ82 · 19/03/2021 09:42

@KateMidd the link you provided goes to products containing THC which isn't CBD. It's a different compound and has different effects on the body.

superstar63 · 19/03/2021 15:09

I would also like to hear recommendations for CBD for insomnia if anyone has any please - or anything else that works for that matter.

Yes, you're right. I've just discovered the theme. Actually they're quite similar by their chemical structure but have slightly different effect on body. Nevertheless, the same is that both help with pain, nausea, anxiety and insomnia.
Maybe here is someone who tried both TCH and CBD to compare the feelings?

@SadHippy my DM has just started using a CBD gel for arthritis in her hips and is really seeing a difference. If you want details then pm me as it's a woman who has a Facebook selling site.

I'm using her cbd drops and seeing a difference and a reduction in my neuropathy pain.

My DSis is also using a cbd balm for her psoriasis and seeing a huge improvement.

We are all total converts!

I take CBD oil to help with insomnia and general anxiety. I did lots of research before I bought any and went to a conference on medicinal cannabis with work.
I buy mine from CBD Brothers, I take the blue oil. It tastes like pond water 😂 but it works. I’m definitely less on edge and I sleep better
