Medical advise

if it doesnt have THC or CBD in it you might as well use olive oil.

just use it, it wont hurt you. and enough with the whole "oh im not interested in pot" bs, you think advil is awesome?
if you're interested in the medicinal properties and benefits of cannabinoid oil (extracts or whatever) then you're already interested in pot.

SORRY. rant over. yes it will help, yes you should try it. not sure about isolated muscle spasms (pretty sure it will work) but theres a guy who sent his skin cancer into remission with it. so... it's pretty much god's gift to us.. one of, to be vaguely exact

if it doesnt work, try smoking some and meditating, with a little patience and maybe a few sessions im pretty sure you will be able to figure out the exact origin of the culprit and ways to release your body into healing itself, naturally.

best of luck

 

I take pot for all those things even though I'm not interested in cannabinoid oil

 

Betty - if you're talking about something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Nutiva-Organ...87598091&sr=8-1&keywords=Cannabinoid+Oil&th=1
I think you should probably just save your money. I don't believe you'll see any real pain relief benefits from this.

 

Betty,
Go to Pubmed.com....search engine for National Library of medicine. Look for answers or info there.
If there is no evidence that it is of any value, don't use it. I doubt you will find anything, but give it a try.
If a product claiming relief does not have at least 2 trials that are large clinical trials, randomized, double blinded, the likely hood that it is of any value is suspect, to say the least.
To date, NO marijuana products have shown any medicinal value other than anecdotal evidence (and a lot of it), but it is trash. Doctors that promote them are quacks, nothing less.

 

^ exactly why DEA is quietly updating info on cannabis on its website without making much press fuss, right o, papa?

Somehow it's... no longer a gateway substance? O? But let's not talk about it, so we don't disrupt the big pharma.

Penicillin is a bacterial antibiotic, and now that we have discovered archae - even more is possible, in terms of pathogen combating organisms. Key here is organic, not synthetics.

don't forget where you come from, aspirin puppets.

I agree with towelie that if it doesn't have CBD or THC, it's basically just cooking oil...so buying anything off Amazon or the like is going to be bunk. Even if you buy from a dispensary, I doubt THC will get you high when absorbed through the skin...and CBD doesn't even get you high.

 

THC is the true healer.

 

I agree with this. Cannabis can have benefits beyond getting high. CBDs specifically. Don't know if it'll help for what your dealing with Betty. But i have seen cannabis help others with medical issues without having to take manufacturerd drugs

 

Maybe, but as Barry points out a big Pharma company wasn't paying you stacks of money to do your research, so that's "anecdotal" and useless information

 

I'm 53 and have broken more bones and pulled more muscles due to numerous motor sickle crashes, collisions with jetties and the bottom, mountain bike mishaps, and dozens of drunken fights than all you numb nuts put together.
What keeps me going? Bourbon, Ganja, Vitamin B 12, Cialis, and pizza

 

The DEA has zero relationship with the National Library of Medicine or medicine in general. Zero.
It is a gateway drug. No question.
If you enjoy smoking weed, no problem. Enjoy it. But do not ascribe any medical value to it other than placebo effect for you or others, UNTIL such time that it is proven otherwise. To date, ZERO.
Disrupt big pharma??
Penicillin is "organic", but there are a plethora of other non organic compounds that are better antibiotics than penicillin, which remains modestly useful. Just because a substance is "organic" doesn't mean it is useful or wonderful. Curare is organic, and a drop ingested will stop your lungs from breathing and your heart from breathing in a matter of minutes.
Now go back to hitting the bong. Get high, but don't expect to be cured from anything but reality.........

 

I'm not going to get super into this. But if a big Pharma company was paying stacks....they'd probably have an agenda. Just because a study is performed doesn't mean the end result is true or false. If some big company said we preformed a study and it proves this....it's useless information. Unless you know the exact details on how a study was preformed.

All information is useless, i don't care who's mouth it comes out of. Got to come to your own conclusions

 

Actually, The FDA, NOT the DEA requires 2 large, randomized double blind, clinical studies for any compound for approval for each SPECIFIC disease. Each study is REQUIRED to have statistical analysis. Each compound must show a 95% Confidence or greater to be approved for the primary endpoint. That means the results cannot be attributed to chance alone. That alone meets approval. The end result then is true, as true as it can get. It is therefore NOT "useless information", but rather, documented efficacy (or any other endpoint). Information coming out of your own conclusions is the definition of "bias", the reason statistical analysis is required.
Them's the facts, kiddies....them the facts........
BTW, as I remember, pot does make you feel great, but so does vicodin etc--but they are not cures to anything.

 

Your missing my point barry. Iv said this on here before. It was the study that "proved" pot killed brain cells. They were supposed to give monkeys somthing like 1 joints worth of smoke through a respirator, 3 times a day, over the course of 6 months. Instead they have them 6 joints worth all at once, 1 time a day, over 3 months. They suffocated the monkeys by slamming smoke with no oxygen into them. When you deprive the brain oxygen...brain cells die. End result...people belive pot kills brain cells based off a study that in reality proves nothing. And I'm not saying it does or doesn't kill brain cells. All I'm saying is just because some doctor, scientist, or organization like FDA or DEA says somthing....doesn't make it true. Unless your there and performing the study... you have no idea

As for my conclusions being biased...who cares. What i belive and what i think is what matters to me. Just like what you think and you belive matters to you. You can say whatever you want. Iv seen pot give my mother a better more comfortable life compared to when she was taking manufactured drugs. That's what matters to me.

 

Same with my Dad who is fighting Leukemia / CLL. He's getting his medical card soon.

 

Well, any study that used pot and monkeys did not come from a reputable organization. So the study was trash from inception. It is the reason I default to the National Library of Medicne--only reputable work for the most part, subjected to strict peer review.
As I said, you guys like pot--go for it. But no matter what you think you are getting, it is palliative only. Which, in some situations is all you can get from any other meds as well. Good luck with it.

 

May be true that the study was trash from the get go. But point remains the same. Can't belive everything your told. Even you just said it "only reputable work FOR THE MOST PART". Do they let you know when it's not reputable work?

And to clarify. I'm not saying all this to prove pot is good. It may be. It may not be. Iv seen it help my mother. That's all. Reason why i bring up this whole thing is because someone said that my information was "useless". Im just saying my information is just as useless as anyone else's
