switz1610 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 CBD is technically a legal substance as of the signing of the 2018 Farm Bill. This bill allows for industrial hemp production which, broadly, allows for all cannabis products with less than .3% THC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I am get up every morning and find 50 studies showing pot can cure every physcial and mental illness. and yet here we are about 50 years into it infiltrating normal lives and it isn’t resolving much. It’s a Darwinian weedout..... at best..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also smoke weed occasionally and it helps me with anxiety and depression. I will post once in this thread but most CBD oil is so poorly produced it contains a lot of THC and you're Essentially just getting high. I'm terrified of what will happen to kids who are being given it by negligent parents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pseudo-claim will be it cures CTE or prevents you from ever getting it no matter how many times you practically ran full force and slammed your head into a brick wall?

I had a blast weaning off morphine from hospital visits for chronic pain 23 years ago. I avoid any drug at all unless totally necessary. For a broken foot ten years ago I turned down the 8 different opioids my Doc effortlessly recommended, I could deal with the pain. i reject dental freezing for surface cavity work.

BUFFALOKIE Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 My 65 yr old mother lost her right leg, above the knee, due to complications during a knee surgery 2.5 years ago... two months before her planned retirement. She has suffered tremendously physically, and even more so mentally and emotionally. She used to be the strongest person anyone in our family and circle of friends ever knew. She was our rock. Now addicted to opioids, over the last two years, she had devolved to "just waiting to die". I have given her weed and e-joints to help with pain and depression (she is a child of the 60s, so not a new thing for her). But...my step dad brought her CBD oil from Hawaii and it has made a huge difference in her! Two drops under ther tongue, as often as she wishes. She swears that her pain is reduced. Everyone else has noticed an improvement in her emotions. She has cut her narcotics intake drastically and seems happier than she has been in a long time. She also partakes in smoking a pinch hit from time to time, and loves it. True story. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think of repeat offenders with millions of dollars to lose and they smoke anyways. I don't think it's because they're stupid and reckless. When you are sick, you will do ANYTHING to feel better, anything to alleviate the pain. I'm bipolar and many of the symptoms I experience are very similar to what NFL players go through: irritability, depression, anxiety, mood swings etc. CBD and maybe a little bit of smoke takes all those things away. I do the CBD when I have to go to work or drive and I smoke when I'm home and in for the night. Works for me. I'd like to see the NFL do some research on this topic. This. I personally have a card because if seizures and it works wonders. Cbd during work and the day and leaf occasionally when I get home and use it as a night cap. I had 2 seizures in a year and got prescribed. Have not had one in 3 years. Its about time the NFL looks into this as a real remedy. These guys are beat up and aching everywhere. This issue to me is small peanuts compared to the domestic violence issue in the NFL, althought that is a much bigger and harder iasue to deal with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 12 hours ago, NewDayBills said: Just a random thought, hope I am not violating the tos and I am sorry if I am but I am awfully curious about this topic. Obviously marijuana is banned by the NFL, but I've wondered for quite some time if football players smoke because it relieves symptoms of CTE. Do any of you think this is possible? It would be pretty tragic if the NFL banned a substance that could benefit their players mental health, especially with something as serious as CTE. I know weed helps treat a myriad of illnesses from bipolar disorder all the way down to arthritis and inflammation. Could marijuana benefit players and should the NFL take it off its banned substances list? It would be a shame if the NFL was taking away something that could be beneficial to its players. Do you guys think weed could actually help the NFL? Thoughts? I think most players smoke it for cultural purposes and probably aren't aware of any benefits, though it probably does help with overall pain relief. Could it be used to treat CTE symptoms? Probably! Pot is going to be legal everywhere in this country soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure that’s a very real concern, and a good point.

I had to look up "palliative". Appropriate term for CBD/THC, I suppose. I love, but miss the stuff. I admit it does nothing but mask the problem. Same as any painkiller or anxiety/depression drug...albeit with fewer detrimental side effects or addiction concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
