I haven't tried it directly. I had a trip to Colorado after they legalized recreational use marijuana and tried an edible. I spent the next 12 hours exceptionally ill and bedridden, and about six more hours after that in a stupor. I won't be trying recreational treatment again, but if I get an option to try one without a psychoactive effect, I would consider it in hopes that it might help the chronic pain.
It's not like they had dosing recommendations. My son handed me a piece of candy, and I ate it. Lack of knowledge was not my friend.why did you take so much?
Cannabidol and cannabidiol are not the same thing. Cannabidol is one of the dozens of cannabinoids in cannabis but hasn't been isolated so that one may take only that, as far as I know. And what it's good for hasn't been researched either.There has been some speculation that the human population at large is suffering from a cannabinoid deficiency. We have, in our oldest genetic material, cannabinoid receptors throughout our bodies and lately, we're not keeping them supplied.
Cannabidol is derived from hemp. An inexpensive way to get some into your diet is to add Hempseed oil. It's low heat tolerant so I use it in smoothies. It's also very, very good for your kidneys. THC free.
3 years before he died, my father's kidneys were failing, at 30% functionality. I was his caregiver. Within a year of starting daily doses of hempseed oil, his kidney function rose to 65%.
