No
Any one have any personal experience of someone using this,
how did it work for them if at all ?
 
I've used hemp hand cream (? BodyShop ?) and it works very well.
 
I'm guessing, on reflection, that's not the type of cannabis oil you mean.
 
Hemp = Cannabis sativa.

Yep but cannabis oil is not the same as the hemp oil you can get in the UK and I doubt hemp hand cream would taste good.
Really don't want an argument, hence asking if any one had personal experience of someone using it and if it worked
 
Seriously, just to be clear, I'm not looking for an argument either.

The only cannabis oil I have ever heard of is the type we used to smoke.

What is this stuff you're talking about?
 
It's apparently a cure all for cancer
 
I've known people to use Cannabis as an (illegal) anti-emetic while on chemo to good effect but it (unfortunately) only worked to help them keep stuff down rather than curing their disease.
 
Whitey...that is all..

It's a well known and well used anti emetic.
And oft' recommended by oncologists.
 
Opposite for me...

Thanks Nod, not expecting a cure all, but if it makes someone's life more comfortable, got to be worth it (y)
 
I understand that it can also improve users' appetites... Munchies!!! :whistling:
 
I have a friend....honestly......who has used cannabis oil, after a respiritory problem. It has helped him a lot.
 
I believe it has healing properties, the bulk of which we don't fully understand yet. That's I believe is in part due to the failed "War on Drugs" by Nixon, Reagan etc.
A drug that's highly illegal isn't as likely to be widely studied as something that's legal IMO.

I've read many reports through the news / online etc of people with medical experiences with cannabis (in different forms) extolling its virtues as a "miracle" when no other modern medicine has even come close to easing their symptoms.
I'm not saying it's safe, and I'm not saying it's right for everyone.

However, I firmly believe that it *does* have benefits and should not be lumped in the same sentences as other illegal drugs like heroin etc, which it often sadly is. You say the words 'Cannabis' or 'Marijuana' to a white middle class conservative and you'll probably get the same reception as if you'd said "Can I give your toddler some of this crack and heroin?".

If course this is all based on the assumption that you're talking about refined cannabis oil for ingestion.......and not hemp hand cream :)

In a very simplified version of what I've learned by being a nerd who spends lots of time sat on the toilet browsing the internet, there are two main components to cannabis, CBD and THC.
THC is the bit of it that gets you high and sleepy.
CBD is the bit that has the most medicinal properties.

Years ago, marijuana was more of a "Here's the plant, you get what you get" but as technology has grown, and the use of it has become so widespread (Uruguay completely legalised it in 2013 IIRC, and it's now legal medicinally in the majority of the US states).....it's pretty much become a science with different strains exhibiting different structures and complexities.

So now you have strains of marijuana that have been bred specifically to have very little THC content and high CBD content....so the medicinal effects can be obtained without actually getting 'high'. It's these high CBD versions that are often refined into oils and are the ones that I've been reading about.
Even including being given to young kids (oral syringe to deposit oil into the mouth IIRC from one documentary) to reduce a nightmarish life of dozens upon dozens of fits a day. (I'll see if it's still in my YouTube history).
 
As a quick point. Please keep this thread legal. I know you're all sensible and grown up, but we have to be careful as a forum to not fall foul of the law
 
Thanks @Marcel, yes it is the refined oil for medicinal use, hopefully now being shipped from the USA,
in the hope that along side chemo and conventional medicine it may help.
Apparently not everyone can take it, fingers crossed it works in this case
 
I've no personal experience so I can only offer advice based on what I've read, and that's read as much as you can.
The more informed you are, the safer you can be.

yep, read a bit before I posted, thankfully not for me, but for a workmate where the prognosis isn't good, so anything that might help
has got to be worth a try (y)
We've raised the money for the first lot, if it helps we will do it again
 
Would a massage with Cannabis Oil be really really really relaxing ???
