Hemp-Derived Cannabidiol (CBD)?

My g/f actually was reading a bio on someone who started a company selling CBD and hes some "ex drug dealer" scum bag who markets the stuff as a cure all. I would imagine its NSAID properties make it a good compound for issues related to inflammation, which there are plenty of, but it is far from some gift from the Gods.

As this is the very beginning of all of this beware of snake oil salesmen. This is the late 1800s early 1900s type of shit the lack of understanding will lead to all sorts of claims. They most likely wont have disastrous effects due to their misrepresentation because we have more understanding then they did then however, you are not free from getting sold an unregulated product by someone who doesnt give a shit. Buyer beware.
 
TRUE regarding "snake oil salesmen", especially for folks like me who live in the desperation of pain and it's companion, suicidal depression. I envision the old "medicine wagon" rigs in old westerns or even the funny "dentist wagon" in Django. My strange sense of humor sustains me.

Problem is that I need just "some" of my pain relieved. Pain Management is ineffective because most of my issues are GI-related. Opiates that I have done trials with (MS Contin, Fentanyl, Oxycodone) cause the constipation to be even more CRIPPLING.

YES...I know all of the "tricks" to move bowels, but...none are working currently. I cannot convey in words how much pain my "issues" are causing me. I don't need a perfect answer, just something, anything that's POSSIBLE.

szuko...I would very much appreciate your input, if you have anything to share.
 
Opiates block pain signals and cannibis reduces the severity of the secondary rection to the pain signals. While opiates block pain they do not reduce the stress pain causes. Cannibis does not block pain signals just fix areas that caused pain like reducing inflammation in an inflammed area although it reduces the secondary response to pain.


Ps. Chill CBD oil looks like a good brand tested and at the same cbd:thc ratio just less concentrated.... Like the cbd wax is as potent as AC/DC and Charolettes web.
 

STRESS of seeking pain management with a maniacal "specialist" whose culture views women with utter disdain...Yep, I've got that! My husband, who is by nature easy going, wants to kick my doctor's ass. My doctor went bat shit crazy during my second appointment. From that point on, my husband insists on leaving work to go to PM with me.

My GP does not script opiates. She sent me to him in early 2014, knowing I could no longer soldier through the pain with only Tramadol. Within a month of dealing with this prick, SHINGLES VIRUS literally exploded in my eye, face and scalp. Words cannot EVER express the fire and brimstone of shingles.

I've detailed my issues in intro threads and subsequent posts. The list is LONG and pathetic. I have more reasons (from that standpoint) to choose death over "life".

My GP told me that if I don't get the stress under control, it will slam the lid of my coffin to an early grave.

INFLAMMATION is my constant companion. My body (in trying to heal bleeding lesions inside my body) forms scar tissue to stop the bleeding of mutant endometrial cells. The scar tissue--adhesions--bind my vital organs, and now my spine. I just can't endure MORE major surgery.

TD...Forgive me, but I know very little about the CBD/THC. It was suggested that perhaps MMJ would be "kinder" to my SEVERE GI issues. Is AC/DC a strain (like the band)? What is wax? Does one smoke, vape or eat? I've tried to order from Dixie (no pun) Elixers, but they don't sell in MS.

Until recently, I've simply not sought out alternative methods of relief. I was afraid I'd lose my metal clarity. My career requires façade of perfection and doesn't allow for slacking. I seem to clench my teeth and white-knuckle through until I'm fortunate enough to die in my sleep.

So...I'm stuck with Oxycodone, Neurontin, Mobic to combat pain. I do take an AD and AA, or I wouldn't have coped with pain this long! I'm dog piled for not "wanting" Oxy or Fent (which didn't absorb). I've spent most of my so-called life in pain with nothing stronger than Darvocet. It wasn't great, but didn't constipate either.

I can't give up the fight until I've tried EVERYTHING to get some semblance of relief, whether physical pain or stress caused by it. I'm open to suggestions, but not lectures on the evils of better life through chemistry. I don't want to get high. But I wouldn't mind if I whistled while I worked. :\

You are correct AC/DC is a 20%:1% CBD:THC ratio for bud when properly grown.

Wax is pretty much hash oil, but has a solid state vs oil or viscous oil although it is not solid seethrough sap like "shatter." Look up "Chill CBD oil" as they lab test their product that is 20%:1% THC:CBD although in the extracted wax. I could explain it, but their site is self explainitory.

You should also ask your doctor about oxymorphone/opana IR for breakthrough pain or else seeing if levorphanol with oxycodone IR for breakthrough pain may work great for you, but careful levorphanol is the worst opiate w/d ever.
 
Thanks, TD...I'll look that up. I'll also look up levorphanol, as I'm not familiar. Is Oxymorphone/Opana sedating?

I need all the info anyone is willing to share, as I'm a doob. Much gratitude!
