Hi.

I've got knackered hips (metal on metallic hip resurfacing) one's 20 years old and the other is 11 years old)
I had a full mot December 2019 and got the green light even though one is getting tired 😴

I've also got the usual aches and pains a bloke of 62 gets 😂

I started about a month ago to take CBD oil, its helping with all my aches and pains and I'm pleased to be taking it.

I'm paying £60 for the 1000 strength and I'll carry on with it as it's definitely helping

The thing is I'm dreaming every night. Not that's an issue but they are vivid dreams.
I even dream I've woken up yet it's still a dream!
To be honest it's great, the dreams are vivid and it's as though I'm awake and they are real.
It's a great escape from this covid 19 monkey 🐒 snot virus.


Has anyone had a similar experience?.

Cheers Mike

Yep , can add a lot to your dreams , it's like going from black n white to full color and leave a lasting memory , iv'e had some cracking dreams some get really intense !

In reply to Post #1
yeh. I'm V sensitive to it and only take one drop in the morning of a fairly low strength oil called
Gold by Simply CBD.

However, I've sometimes taken it at night or early hours of the morning. great dreams and a cracking lie in lol

In reply to Post #3

Yup it's great for my aches and pains but the dreams are great.
Not had a dream yet about Everton winning the league yet ❗

Keep safe

I'm tempted to try it from reading that post, I've got chronic knee problems nothing seems to help with.
What other affects are there?
Ganja doesn't agree with me, always made me a bit paranoid/depressed so I've never taken much notice of cbd

Hi Duggs.

I was the same as you. I'd read about cbd oil and never took it seriously.
I've been using the cbd oil for over 3 weeks now and I have had some good improvements with my hip pain.
Another advantage is my sleep is better and the dreams are "wow". Really vivid.

Give it a whirl its not like smoking cannabis, nothing like it.

Keep safe

Mike

A guy at work was taking this and it showed up on a random d&a test (he got sacked )so be careful lads and enquire at work if it's ok to take it.

In reply to Post #7
Yup that's a fair point.
I know if you work on the railways it's a banned substance.

So please check with your employer first.

In reply to Post #7
Useful info for some I'm sure
Not an issue for me tho

So many varieties of this stuff, can someone post a link to a recommended one and how long does it take to notice the effects?

In reply to Post #7
Would it show up if the police pulled you over and done a roadside drug test, those tests can detect cannabis.

In reply to Post #9
Duggs check out Simply CBD . UK based. Ethical and good value. They have a facebook group where you can get a good idea which version is being used for what by people.

I believe the guy at work was getting his from Holland & Barrett

And yes it's on the railway 👍

2 years ago I was stopped and checked at Dover when I was coming back from France , I had a bottle of what was meant to be one of the highest strength's of cbd oil next to me , they tested it there and then to see if it was legal , I was told that there was nothing wrong with taking it whilst driving as it was under the minimum legal requirement of "thc" , might make you a bit sleepy though !

I make sure that whatever I buy has been certified with regard to its content of cbd as a lot of people are selling all sorts of crap , don't want to be drinking horse pi** !

In reply to Post #14
That's right, you want independent.lab reports.

UK companies that have some longevity and independent Lab reports are

Simply CBD
Love CBD
FOURFIVE CBD

My wife takes fourfive for a painful wonky hip that will need replacing.
I take simply CBD for relaxation

I found the others made me a bit edgy for the first
Half hour or so.

To CBD users........

If you drink Hemp seed smoothies every morning these will also show up on D&A tests and also Police roadside ones.......

Like with most drugs , see how it effects you personally before you drive ,buy regulated cbd and hopefully it won't negatively impact your ability to drive , if not , your ok to drive , i have copied this info

It is highly unlikely you would be stopped by officers. If they were to find it in your pocket, admonishment or imprisonment renders far-fetched as its lawfully available for buying purposes. You wouldn't have your license revoked either by authorities. This would only happen if you were to take an illegitimate narcotic or if the following occurred.

If on some grounds they deem you unfit to be on the road, you may have to complete a field impairment test, collaborating in several activities, including walking in a straight line to reveal sober attitudes. Additionally, you may have to undertake cross-examination for drugs. The only reason failure ensues is exceeding consignments of THC of 2 micrograms per ml of your blood. This is why it is commonsense to accredit your item have low totals of it, then you do not need to worry.

If you reliably acquire your CBD's you won't need to be too cautious. As this domain is largely unregulated, it can be challenging to understand right from wrong when taking control of an automobile. Nevertheless, undertake real examining of your wares to circumstantiate wholesomeness. Never get into the driver's seat if you ever feel weird, whether you've drunk a CBD-related coffee or eaten an associated snack. Feeling drowsy results in all kinds of accidental scenarios so it is always advisable to wait until you are sound-minded.

As a driving instructor and mindful of.my reactions
I would not drive within an hour of taking my CBD
As I definitely feel different. Possibly the adrelanine and concentration of driving would.negate that but I feel.why take the risk? After an hour any obvious change has been forgotten.

In reply to Post #18

I must be lucky or i'm drinking horse pi55 , it does not make me drowsy at all , some things do some don't ???

I guess , if you want to be safe just have it before you go to bed !

In reply to Post #19
I take mine at bedtime.


I've not tried the horse 🐴 pee but what ever floats your boat 😁

Cheers Mike

One things for certain he talks a load of ****

In reply to Post #21

Petty little bitch !

As I heard, in CBD Canada, oil is not illegal. For US, using the CBD oil with your job responsibility can bring you into jail. The corrections counselor job I find the perfect choice in your situation. If you think that CBD oil will help you deal with your problems, try it. By your words, not a big-time left in your life, so be aware of what you are doing but try to live your life in brighter lights, but not harming the people around you. I hope you will find a proper job and win your fight against your problems.

From memory (its a while since i was on track) the D&A for the railways were more stringent then the ones the police use on roadsides.

The railway version gave you a count for cannabaloids & THC separately. Where as coppers only test for THC in the roadside ones.

We used to have to tell lads not to drink nightnurse for the same reasons as it would give you a positive drugs test.


I use the blessed cbd after researching its one of the more reputable companies, it works great for aches and pains but i found after a few weeks using it daily you struggled to sleep without it afterwards. No i just use it intermittently for aches and pains

I fancy giving this a go for lower back pain/spasms, what strength would you recommend as haven't got a scooby about this stuff?

In reply to Post #28
I recommend buying the best
https://www.glaswegianhealthshop.co.uk/

If you ring and speak to Lisa she will advise you on the best.

I use the 3000 cbd 30%


But speak to Lisa.
Good luck with the pain relief
I use it at night. I sleep 💤 well and have great dreams.
I'm not sure longterm for pain relief but it's worth a shot

Cheers Mike

Just placed an order for my first bottle of cbd oil. I suffer, lower back pain, so decided it was definitely time to give this stuff a try. It's a bit of a minefield knowing what strength to start off with. I've gone with the 500mg for now, as it seems sensible to start with a lower strength and work up if needed.

Ordered from the Glaswegian health shop, as recommended by Mike.

In reply to Post #28
Honestly, from a data analysis point of view id probably not recommend using CBD currently.

The literature in this area is pretty weak to show a strong association for clinical pain management and benefits to general quality of life improvements.

There is quite a lot of anecdotal evidence that people will give saying it helped with XYZ problem, but the issue with this, and a lot of the sponsored research is that placebo effects aren't often taken into account.

There is much more strong evidence for the use of whole cannabis in relation to pain management. The BMJ and AJSM have a lot of research available online about this. However, it is worth pointing out that both of these journals highlight the fact that there are hundreds of different cannabinoids at work whilst using medical cannabis and the clinical effects cannot be narrowed down to just CBD.

While the price of CBD is so high, and the evidence is currently so weak, I would honestly say that you're better off saving your money until there is more conclusive data on the subject.

Sometimes being an 'early adopter' of supplements is the correct choice, however that generally applies to much cheaper supplements because the initial outlay is so minimal.

However, if you're in a good financial situation, there is no reason not to try it as there aren't any significant downsides to using it and it might give you some relief, even as a placebo.

alternatively, I would seek help from a sports MD or sports physio as the condition might be treatable Lon g term without supplementation

hope that helps a bit

In reply to Post #43
Aren't peoples experiences of the benefits what's really important,rather than some data ?

In reply to Post #44
To an extent yes, but when companies are charging insane amounts of money for something that could have same benefit a sugar pill would its a bit disingenuous to tell people to buy it.

My stand on it remains the same though, it isn't a magic bullet that some people claim it is, but if you have plenty of money to spare there is no harm in trying it because it MIGHT offer some benefit that currently isn't conclusively shown.

In reply to Post #45
But that's just it,for some people it is the "magic bullet" as you call it. If people want to spend their money on it, good luck to them. If it then does what they want it to, even better. Just because science doesnt say it works, it doesn't mean it doesn't!

In reply to Post #46
I agree with you on that part, if people want to spend their money on it and it appears to help then more power to them. I was just giving a bit of context and a buyer beware based on best evidence.

Like I said, there isn't strong evidence for its use currently, but there aren't any apparent deleterious effects so its no harm done if it doesn't work, just a slightly lighter wallet.

In reply to Post #48
The problem is noj you get all these "experts" who insist that if you have a puff then you'll end up banging smack into your arm before long. These people that have never had a j in their life but know all about it apparently. There's plenty on here as you've seen before. Clueless

In reply to Post #49

In reply to Post #48
Couldn't agree more with everything in that post.

the fact that the state could actually make a profit from sales, whilst not having not spend money policing the use and illegal growing systems would only add further to the benefits that decriminalisation would bring.

im not entirely sure the reason for the reluctance to decriminalise it, but I have a feeling that decades of prohibition and u turning on policy is just too much to stomach for political parties.

CBD oil is a good solution for non-smokers

In reply to Post #53
CBD gummies helped me a lot in dealing with my depression and insomnia, but I suggest you Always check the % of CBD in the product before ordering it.

Strange that you are looking for something to relieve eye muscle spasm and end up ordering cbd, but how do you use it? I have always ordered https://highthc.shop/product-category/edibles/ to add to food or drinks, there are other options for these products. Who doesn't know, it's an oil that helps reduce cramps and pain. But to use it for the eyes is the first time I have heard of it. There are of course pills to help you sleep better, but this is an herbal substance. You don't have to put it in your eyes, you just have to take it internally like a regular medicine.

In reply to Post #55
I find a couple of drops in each eye and ears does wonders, you should try it.
