Found CBD Cannabis Oil at our local health shop

Just bought some CBD oil.
Understand I'm not looking for something new to get addicted to but done some major reading on this in the past. I want aware it was even legal to buy here in Alabama (2nd state to legalize it) but I'm willing to give it a shot. It's supposed to help with not only cancer and tumors but anxiety, inflammatory issues and other small problems.  I used to smoke pot and remember it always helped me when I was having headaches or my calves burning. I am no way encouraging any kind of drugs but I will write down what I feel like and give a report on it. If I feel like this is helpful then it could be something natural that can be helpful to others in recovery.
I would like anyone's input please, I want to make sure this is a safe product to use to help with recovery.  If it's not then I will not want to continue this use. I will listen to all constructive criticism, I feel it will be necessary in this.
Thanks ((John))

I have a problem with immodium' mother was on this bad after they removed most of her intestinal track. It was a bad 3 years, she had to drink it constantly to help with her movements. It ended up being  part of the cause of her death

Okay,
I read the first few comments and that was all I needed before skipping through the rest to comment!
The first thing I want to say is this:
Nasty, rude and unsympathetic people are what led me astray from posting here!! I am still here and still reading! What happened to the forum and group of people that cared deeply about an individual period!???  The uplifting support and amount of Love shown for an individual stranger?? I am appalled by some of these comments! We recommend Imodium so much to people in the early stages!! Does anyone know that when Immodium was first released it had the same components as Methadone?! It was later reformulated and descaled, however still has some of the same chemical components of Methadone!! I remember, a certain member becoming addicted to it just here recently and went through some very nasty withdraws, yet the forum still recommends it!!?? This post really hit me personally the wrong way because comments such as above are what have led so many astray from the forum.

PB is reaching out and after 30 Days he still remains an active member to the forum. I don't think by any means he is trying to say he is replacing one drug for another. More in the sense of something that is all NATURAL to help him when needed! IMO.. And let it be known that I am speaking directly to PB, you are still clean!! Tram and CBD oil are on the opposite scale here! Hell for that matter, Marijuana is a NATURAL plant that helps people with a variety of Health issues! If it weren't, then it would not be legalized in certain parts of the country. How about everyone go " google " what all the ingredients are in Tylenol and Aspirin then come back and let's all argue some more about those side effects!
This man has worked his *** off to get to where he is and I do NOT believe in any way, shape or form he is seeking to get hooked on a natural medicine that helps him feel better esp on an as needed basis! And yes! I meant to type medicine!! Why don't you all google some more about how other countries use it as a medicine!!! In certain parts of Africa, that's all they have!  And yet many countries sit back and make a mockery of the United States on our health care system, and many other issues as well. Marijuana, CBD oil, will NOT kill you!! But pills WILL!!! Perhaps if Dr's were writing scripts for them to patients with pain, anxiety, blood pressure, seizures, migraines etc.... And not pain pills, then just perhaps prescription drug overdose wouldn't be ranked as one of the #1 killers in the United States!!! As a nurse, in pain management at that, I have seen Dr's hand out scripts for 240 Percocet a MONTH like it's nothing!! Really!? And people want to criticize this man for using something natural!? People wouldn't be so quick to become addicted to prescription pain pills if they were able to get relief from a natural plant w medicinal healing

In closing,
PB, if you feel that you benefit from this then so be it!
To others, I am speaking from my heart. I feel that certain comments or an approach can often come off very hurtful and insensitive, even if it wasn't intended to, to people seeking help, advise and support. PB is still here after 30 days and still seeking out " support " while too often we see many come here and get to 2 weeks then they are gone!! If he wasn't serious about this, then he too would have jetted by now! Myself and others have stopped even posting here due to offensive and insensitive comments! Let's be a bit more supportive and a lot less offensive to people seeking SUPPORT in whatever their issue may be! That's the way I remember MH back when I joined in 2010.
I also want to add that I will not be joining in on the " back and fourth " arguments on this thread. I have given PB my thoughts and have added my 2 cents and I need not say any more.

PB... I have supported you since day 1 and will continue to do so in absolutely whatever you do!

Not sure why it double posted on me.
So far I've learned the oil is from a legit company, I'm still searching for the company that extracts the oil for them. It states in Georgia, I have my concerns about that location

I bought this because it's natural, I can't say this is something that is safe just yet. I don't have plans on using it today.
I do believe it's better than taking pills, I pray it's safe.
I have a friend in the police department that works for the drug task force,  he has a bottle of this same as I and he is testing it now. I will know exactly what I'm dealing with in the next few weeks. He don't believe it's harmful due to its compounds, I trust he will give me good facts about it.
I don't plan on using it as long as possible

My husband and I went on a surprise anniversary trip my mother in law planned for us and surprised us with. ....we ended up in Virginia at the beach and I found some of this cbd oil on the boardwalk.....it works great and has no other affects its just like taking advil or tylenol and does not show in a drug test. I am still recovering from being a heroin addict and didnt have enough methadone with me so thats why I tried this. I didnt even go back to my methadone when I got home I stopped seeing that dr and just go to therapist. It has worked for my headaches anxiety sex drive rls cramps tooth ache.
I have 2 kids a 12yr old and a 4yr old and I let my 12 yr old try it for her cramps and headache and it worked for her so it is a great all natural thing to use and you dont have to worry about becoming addicted
