The oil has a pipette and a drop goes under your tongue. The paste gets rubbed on your gums.
I wondered what the paste was all about.

Good to know smile

Mmmm, might give this CBD oil a try - I have 4 bulging discs (lumbar). Pain at the moment is confined to lower back and buttocks - some days it's there and other days it's gone - seems to depend on what activity I do to aggravate it. Do you just rub it all over your back and crack like you would suncream? I can see it costing a fortune!
Perhaps you should give jkh112 a PM.

Sounds like he has got his pain under control.

Would be worth a go smile

I had liver failure last year from antibiotics on top of prescription painkillers. Not a pleasant time.
You are right about the codeine etc. I am glad I am off them now, couldn’t be without the CBD oil though.
WOW mate. You have been having a rough time.

Have you had to have surgery?

It's amazing how you are being able to control the pain with CBD oil.

Must make such a difference to your life.
Have had a few procedures on my spine over the years. Been on prescription painkillers for even longer.

Late last year I was opened up again for a spinal fusion. This did not go too well and became infected which meant more surgery and an extended spell in hospital followed by liver failure from the antibiotics. Latest bone graft from that fusion has not fused.

I am really pleased with the effect of CBD oil. I still have pain but it is bearable. I will continue trying different CBD oil types to see if I can get an even better effect.

My issue is spinal problems and my back pain does not come and go. The CBD oil really helps with the constant back pain I experience but weirdly does not seem to help with the intermittent pain I get in my buttocks and legs.

Considering what you have been through it is amazing that the CBD oil is helping.

Sorry to hear you seem to still be having issues with your health.

Many state other benefits from CBD so I hope it helps you further. smile

Jim, thanks. It sounds bad when it is written down, but no point in dwelling on it.
The worst aspect is that I can not comfortably drive a manual car any distance so had to buy a tiptronic 911, not too bad!

I don't think any of the health food shops are allowed to sell clinically relevant amounts of CBD oil (which range from 150 to 1500mg /day Link). MHRA limits the amount being sold and whether it can be sold as medicinal or as a diet supplement.

However that is not to dismiss it, It is seriously being studied and would be surprised if nothing comes out of it.


Not to discourage anyone, if its helping you go for it but source it from somewhere reputable.

Interesting. Do you have any recommendations for a reputable source?

My other halfs daughter has been taking CBD for a few weeks, and apparently it is helping the symptoms of her MS.

But as some of you here are talking of pain relief, I wonder if it would help my other half too - she's got various leg/ankle/foot pain problems (plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis). While she's waiting for the docs and hospital to actually do something for the longer term, I wonder if CBD oil would help?

I haven't looked into seriously it but would hope that any legitimate company would provide information on their release tests for purity/sterility etc...
A family member was looking at a job with a CBD company and asked me about it, they had a section where you can see their chromatography results for each batch and described the release tests.


It was more a warning against people popping onto ebay to get something that would be difficult to trace back to the manufacturing plant.

It is worth a try but CBD oil does little for my leg and nerve pain. For me it is effective for the constant spinal pain, I am still experimenting with different suppliers and doses.

And there is the thing. You shouldn’t have to be experimenting to that extent.

It is clear that cbd is beneficial in pain control and, were it regarded by the authorities as a medicine, you would get an informed dose / form for your ailments.

At the very least it would save you the time it takes to do your own experiments and also ensure you got repeatably consistent purity / concentrations

I agree to some extent but I do get repeatable results using the same dose from the same supplier. I am varying my dose to see what is most effective for me.

I had to do the same on prescription painkillers where I varied my dose and type of painkiller to find what worked for me. The doctors could not tell me what worked straightaway, they just gave me a starting point and things varied from there.

That’s why it’s best to get samples of everything. Differing % of cbd work in different ways on different people. Paste, oil, micro doses, balms - all work in a slightly different way depending on what’s causing the pain, how bad it is and physical attributes.
It’s took mrs p about 4 months to fund a level. Some stuff wasn’t having any effect, some stuff spaced her out.

So is it the CBD oil or the Porsche that is making you feel better wink

Joking apart mate hope you continue to get relief.

A neighbour's wife has fibromyalgia and swears by the CBD oils so perhaps I need to ask her.

Finding one that is full spectrum and legitimate is not exactly very easy.

I have tried it twice. Once was Charlotte's Web and the other which were both off eBay. Neither did much apart from the unbranded which left me with a bad headache and that's about it.

So if anything please do not buy it off eBay of a Facebook advert.

I was trying to get samples from a number of different stockists but all are out of stock.

Hopefully some will release more as after the past experiences I would want to make sure it worked this time smile

If trying cbdbrothers ignore the online request form - they’re always silly busy.
Call them and talk to someone. They can arrange samples over the phone just as easily.

Ok, I'll be the guinea pig smile

Just ordered this on the recommendation from Dutch Natural Healing http://www.thedrinkablealternative.com

"Why is CBDactive+ better?
Traditional CBD products are fat or oil-based and cannabinoids bind to fats. The human body is geared towards breaking down fats. The consequence of this is that no more than 6 to 12% of the products ingested are absorbed by the body. CBDactive+ has been designed to ensure that the active ingredients are fully soluble in water. The very successful result is that no less than 100% of all ingredients are absorbed by the body!
In addition, CBDactive+ contains a terpenes profile that is equal to the primal hemp. Through the addition of curcumin CBDactive+ contains even more positive characteristics."

"10 ml CBDactive+ in handy dosage pump. This product has a similar effect to a 40% CBD oil.
CBDactive+ consists of the well-known Dutch Natural Healing extract mixed with a revolutionary combination of ingredients. This unique combination ensures that the active ingredients work even better for you.
CBDactive+ contains organic ingredients derived exclusively from plants. Curcumin, Myrcene, Caryophyllene, Pinene, Limonene, Linalool, CBD, CBC, CBN and CBG. The carefully chosen ingredients and their relationship to each other ensures that they enhance each other. Primal hemp is our source of inspiration in this regard.

Always a clean bottle | Handy dosage pump (0,2 ml each time) | Pleasant taste | Strong & effective | Even more healthy | Up to 3 x less expensive"





Hope it doesn't turn me into a hippy and make me want to go to festivlas, man hippy
