I'm all for legalization, but I'm also all for the development of reliable tests to determine whether someone has too much of the drug in his system to drive safely, if he has been pulled over for erratic driving. Personally, I've tried marijuana but I don't like any substance that fogs the clarity of my mind. When I had my deviated septum operated on in a hospital years ago, the surgeon packed my nose with cocaine soaked gauze. That had such a pleasant effect on my mind that I decided to avoid cocaine lest I become addicted.

I don't care much about the fools want to fog up their brain with the weed or alcohol. It wont make your troubles go away just make it so you are no longer in control.

I take CBD oil for my knee, and I once bought some CBD oil from a new store, and after I had taken my dose of it, I found that I felt a weird buzz from it all day and could not accomplish very much. When I checked the label it said it had THC in it which is oil from marijuana. CBD oil comes from hemp which is a close relative of marijuana. I never went back to that store.

That wasn't CBD oil. CBD oil won't effect you like that. Takes over a 1000 CC's to even get it to register in a UA test. But see you in Oregon. They do have thc oil.

You didn't read my comment. I stated that they added THC oil to CBD oil. THC is an oil from the marijuana plant, and it doesn't take much to get you plastered. I would say that the high is a little different from alcohol. Any way it waisted my day. So I threw it out - 60 bucks worth.

My husband is permanently disabled due to painful nerve damage in his back. Surgery has further damaged his nerves. To give an idea of his pain level, if I wash clothes while he is awake, the vibration of the spin cycle can bring tears to his eyes from 2 rooms away. He is currently on Fentanyl pain patches. This helps keep the pain levels tolerable, as long as he is not moving around too much. He also has Oxycotin for breakthrough pain. He knows he is dependent on the patches and will be for the rest of his life. He is terrified of becoming dependent on pills also. If he uses marijuana when he starts to really hurt, he can avoid the pills. Before it became legal for medical use, he would use 45-60 pills a month for pain. After he got his card, he may use 10-20 a month. He's not a fool fogging up his brain. Just a man who became disabled at 27 and finally 16 years later has found a little relief. Not all users are stoners.

That is great!
Hopefully, one day soon, it will be available to all who need it.

CBD oil is available to all and anyone that would like to try it, in most states, and i suspect in all before long. I have taken it for over a year and never ever experenced any kind of buzz at all. I take it for blood pressure. You just need to make sure you are always buy pure. Read the label, if says in has a flavor are anything else added, it is NOT Pure. don't buy it.
