Re: CBD oil
Around here you can drive down the street and pick up a bottle of CBD for $20...You can also buy thc concentrates that have 100 X the potency of a regular joint. Stuff that will knock you on your ass or wire you up like 6 cups of coffee, depending on the strain... Its crazy when your state legalizes it

Re: CBD oil
I have read about it's benefits but Texas is way behind in cannabis laws. it is only legal for one certain type of seizure but still illegal for the rest of the 99.99999%
and CDB oil which is NON intoxicating. it is simply like olive oil with a bunch of good stuff. why is it illegal? (i could answer that one, ignorance, big pharma ect)Leave a comment:

from my vault of articles...good read here
The Endocannabinoid System
Cannabis has been at the center of one of the most exciting—and underreported—developments in modern science. Research on marijuana’s effects led directly to the discovery of a hitherto unknown biochemical communication system in the human body, the Endocannabinoid System, which plays a crucial role in regulating our physiology, mood, and everyday experience. The discovery of receptors in the brain that respond pharmacologically to cannabis—and the subsequent identification of endogenous cannabinoid compounds in our own bodies that bind to these receptors—has significantly advanced our understanding of human biology, health, and disease.
It is an established scientific fact that cannabinoids and other components of cannabis can modulate many physiological systems in the human brain and body. Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that trigger cannabinoid (and other) receptors. More than 100 cannabinoids have been identified in the marijuana plant. Of these marijuana molecules, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) have been studied most extensively. In addition to cannabinoids produced by the plant, there are endogenous cannabinoids (such as anandamide and 2AG) that occur naturally in the mammalian brain and body, as well as synthetic cannabinoids created by pharmaceutical researchers.
Extensive preclinical research—much of it sponsored by the U.S. government—indicates that CBD has potent anti-tumoral, antioxidant, anti-spasmodic, anti-psychotic, anti-convulsive, and neuroprotective properties. CBD directly activates serotonin receptors, causing an anti-depressant effect, as well.
In recent years, scientists associated with the International Cannabinoid Research Society (ICRS) have elucidated a number of molecular pathways through which CBD exerts a therapeutic impact. For example, a preclinical study by Dr. Sean McAllister and his colleagues at the California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco report on how CBD destroys breast cancer cells by down-regulating a gene called ID-1, which is implicated in several types of aggressive cancer. Silencing the ID-1 gene is, thus, is a potential strategy for cancer treatment.
“Cannabidiol offers hope of a non-toxic therapy that could treat aggressive forms of cancer without any of the painful side effects of chemotherapy,” says McAllister.

CBD and THC Synergy
According to McAllister’s lab, the best results were obtained when CBD was administered along with THC. Several studies underscore the therapeutic advantages for combining CBD and THC—particularly for treating peripheral neuropathy, a painful condition associated with cancer, multiple sclerosis (MS), diabetes, arthritis, and other neurodegenerative ailments. Clinical research conducted by with GW Pharmaceuticals, a British company, has also shown that CBD is most effective as an analgesic when administered in combination with whole plant THC.

CBD oil
If you aren't using this to recover and heal you are missing out by time.
I've been using it for 6 months and haven't touched ibprophen or Tylenol. If I have a pain I take it and you know what it's not there the next day.
It takes some playing with dosing because it's plant based so big pharm doesn't put the efforts into it. In fact they are trying to quash it.
I wish to God I'd known about this stuff years ago.
This is not a band aid. This actually helps you heal the issue.
