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))

Wow!! It is all good to go Plowboy!
I have been on this site and seen these types of discussions over and over with SO many different opinions. You should see the ones about the Subs!!!

I was just trying to say that you do need more time to heal in the Brain/Body. Trams, if that was your DOC are just as bad as the Methadone if not worse. These types of meds, including Subs are very synthetic and like to stick around longer in the Brain/Body parts. Trams also has a Chems mixed in it that affects the Serotonin. Therefore it is like detoxing from 2 meds and that is really hard..I know, I c/t off 3 and it was a Bitttccch!

I do know from my studies that they are starting to use this type of med, that you are talking about for people with Mental issues. I just thought you had to have Cancer to pick this up at this point of time?? Like the poster above who's child had to use it for a reason to were the harder drugs were worse. I even read somewhere that they are looking at a certain thing in Mushrooms to maybe help the ones with some serious Mental issues, unbalanced Brain in certain areas. NOW on the other hand, I have also watched shows were these kids had all kinds of Mental issues and the Dr took them and change there who way of Eating!! YES, Just a BIG DIET CHANGE helped these kids. Even the teacher thought they had finally found a new med..NO it was all about DIET!!!

YOU do what you feel is right..Only YOU can make that decision. In my Opinion I would just give yourself more time to heal and EAT a very HEALTHY diet and go on the net and look for natural things that do ease Anxiety. Plowboy, my Anxiety was on the Moon and I mean BAD for at least 3-4 months. I rocked and rocked and could not sleep either. I know it was not so much the Methadone and the street bought Adderral, but it had so much to do with the Klons. Heck, all three pulled the Nervous system up & down and all around!
Wishing YOU the Best and DO NOT let this run you off!!!!
Bless

Plow- I agree 10 million percent w/ Vickie and VIC. You are what, 30 days clean? You are still detoxing. Why are you looking for something for anxiety? You are supposed to be anxious.

As addicts, we don't want to feel uncomfortable. It's torture for us. But that is what being clean is all about: Feeling every damn feeling, and finding productive ways to deal w/ those feelings, that don't include going to a store to buy some weed. (or weed oil whatever it is.)

Weren't you going to NA or AA? What's going on w/ that?

Also, like Vickie says, this is a substance abuse forum, and I for one, don't want to read about new substances out there that could get me high or altered. I'm doing my damdest to live life on life's terms, know what I mean?

Yeah bro, I'm in complete agreement.  I'm just pointing out that it is not psychoactive when it is CBD oil, which is why the plowboy was considering it's use.  I also mentioned that you still feel wasted, just not in a psychedelic kind of way :)  Have a google on "Decarboxylation"... Heres an article..
