I know it works for some people. I have witnessed the behavioral and physical changes in two friends with cancer and another with horrible back pain that comes and goes without notice but leaves him flat on his back for days after it shows up. They all swear by it.

Trust me. There's a LOT of snake oil salesmen out there.

There's some crazy science/chemistry behind getting proper CBD isolate. "A Beautiful Mind" shit. But since it's currently unregulated by FDA, there's a host of manufacturers who give no shits about quality or science other than slapping a CBD label on some capsules or producing some lotions or tinctures.

Like I said, IRL I've done some work on CBD outfits - had about an hour long conference call yesterday with a cannabis company. There are legitimate companies, there are scams. Same for the products. Absorption rate is about 6%, so it takes a SHITLOAD to have appreciable results. And, for now, the stuff ain't cheap.

The industry is going to end up like dot.com bust. Lots of posers. Huge shakeout of pretenders happening as we speak.

Can confirm. Why I have a med card in CO. Rec and retail was all over the place in quality and price.

The only CBD that works for me are the sublingual tabs, and the 50:50 gummies by Wana. Beware of the dispensaries that wont show you the grow house and/or labs...

Still have titanium hardware in my arm and hip from multiple Bankhart and labrum (both) repairs from 20 years ago. Only way I could stay active before CBD was a tight rotation of pain meds, ice and ibuprofen overdoses. Even used it post operation last summer on a minor shoulder scope.

The anti inflammatory properties far outweigh the pain relief for my personal orthopedic issues. Especially after a hard workout or over use.

I have tried about every form of CBD with no result for chronic pain.
The only success I have had is with a topical application for muscle spasms of a product that also contains THC.
After 15 years of hydros and oxy I'm willing to try most anything.
The crackdown on drugs I rely on to function has me very concerned.

Red light therapy by Joovv has had exceptional results in combating inflammation and body pains

Thanks, my current treatment is somewhat beyond that.

I do think there's some anti inflammatory value. Some of the rest of the claims...nah, not so much.

The Throbber had some CBD 'sleep aid' candies. They didn't do shit. More vodka. So the dude who manufactured them gave me his 'special THC sleep aid' candies.

I was stoned to the bejesus. Fell asleep like a baby and woke up with remnants of Taco Bell and Cheetos all over my face.

It works for inflammatory issues. Real edibles work for munchies, too. I prefer the CBD isolate, but you have to deal with 0.5mg per dose, kinda like Odouls beer for alcoholics.

One can literally see and watch the transformation in my hands, wrists and shoulder after not using it.

Without CBD and chasing 3 little Em's, coaching soccer and baseball, building race cars at night...the inflammation returns in 48-72 hrs and pain the day after. Then the pain med and ice cycle begins.

Much worse than the stoned at Taco Bell cycle for me.

Remove the inflammation and 3/4 or 81% of the orthopedic issue is gone... e.g. one can use the limb like normal.


I can get any narcotic needed with an X ray request at an orthopedic clinic. CBD is more effective without fucking you or your life up.

Your results may differ. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️
