Medical Marijuana and Other Questions About Pot

I believe I have posted, that I have tried the CBD oil, under the tongue etc. With no relief. Well reading these posts about the balm, I thought what the hell....I have some of the oil left , so I rubbed it on my knee....I'll see what happens.

Perhaps I'll get more reaction from it topically , than I did internally?

There are those that feel they get better results from topical magnesium , than they do from taking it internally. So who knows ?
 

Even though the balm doesn't last nearly as long on the pain on my shoulder as I thought it would, I'd still HIGHLY recommended it. Now, after using it a few times, no doubt about recommending it.

But, now I can verify that the GoGreen CBD Balm is better than the Topricin Pain Relief Cream we have. Will use up the rest of the Topricin, but once the GoGreen is gone, will buy another can. Actually, in the morning, I will use the balm before taking a 500mg Turmeric capsule. Seem to work together very well. I'll do the same, sometimes, at lunch.......use both.

Questions: What's the difference between the 500mg and the 1000mg? 1000mg is stronger? Wonder which is the most recommended? Doesn't say on the label, but does the balm get stored in the frig. It does say "keep in a cool, dry place", which doesn't sound like a frig.

And, yes, the balm comes in a very small can.

I'm keeping a fractured mental log of what friends are telling me
Seems most, that have initially gone the middle road with 500mg, are experiencing good, but limited results

All I know, in my brief (yet joyous) experience, the 1000mg...ROCKS!
 

Technically it should be twice as strong as the 500mg. That's technically.

As always, you have to do your research to make sure that the analysis of the balm is up to par.

And, as far as I know, no refrigeration is needed. Just don't put it on a sunny windowsill. :D

Well, since the 500mg isn't lasting that long for me, perhaps I should order the 1000mg. Of course the 500mg is cheaper at $25.99, as the 1000mg is $49.99, but if the 1000mg works better/longer, the higher priced one would be good for me.

Please define 'that long'
I'm experiencing having to re-apply about every 4 hrs...IF...I'm doing some heavy work
Normal woodworking shop work, I take it about every other day...as needed
What I enjoy most is the recession of spasms, of which compounds things into a crippling stage

But

I'm not so sure 1000mg will last longer than 500mg
I'd venture to bet, however, it will be more effective in pain reduction
 
I agree with Gary re: 1,000mg not necessarily lasting longer. It's just stronger.

Again, with any balm, be it CBD or Icy Hot or Tiger Balm, you have to end up applying it several times a day for a chronic pain condition.

Gary, that makes sense to me with regard to the time limit.

I was a little confused when you said "the recession of spasms..." Spasm indicates to me to be muscular, not bone or joint related. I was hoping this balm relieved joint pain.

Or maybe you have both?

I used very little of the 1,000 mg, and it seemed to last at least 6 hours for me.

Thanks so much for the help! I will look through the discussion you linked to carefully, and I have decided to give the CBD balm a try. I believe you mentioned using the 500mg sort, so I will get a jar from gogreenhemp, and give it a try on the rheumatoid arthritis in my neck (supposedly its the cause of my headaches).

It has worked really good for both myself and my wife with arthritis and back pain. Let us know how you make out. Good Luck!

Glad you're getting some good pain relief Rocker. I do think your expectations of the amount of time the balm would work were/are a bit high. 4 to 6 hours is the norm of any topical I have ever used.

"Keep in a cool dry place" means room temperature and out of the sun.

I agree Gary, I doubt the 1000mg would add any time on to the length of relief but would probably give more relief if needed.

We have the oil also
My wife uses both, but mostly the oil
Her knees are shot (arthritic)
Thought I'd have to put her down
But these 'herbal' (?) remedies have done nothing short of miracles for her knees
She does apply the balm when experiencing oncoming pain, like after hiking a couple miles, of which we have resumed, daily, since using this stuff

My crippling spasms come from the sharp pains in my lower back, of what is most likely shattered discs from doing stoopid things early on
Hanging on a stout tree limb used to help, and give me several minutes of ability to continue working
but this balm gives me complete relief for a morning, or an afternoon

Sorry about your back, Gary.

So,,, for arthritis (your wife) both the oil and the balm work?
For you, the balm works for muscle spasms?

I'm trying to get it all straight. What brand of balm do you use? I'm trying to stay away form things that "seem" to work, or seem to "help" and you sound very positive. Thanks!

My wife uses the oil daily for over all pains/aches. It works for her.
She uses the balm when her knees flare up. It removes all the knee pain....all

For me, the balm kills the back pain

The spasms were brought on by the back pain

No back pain; no spasms

GoGreen 1000mg balm

GoGreen 250mg oil

Please continue asking until your questions are completely answered
I'm not very well versed in spreading this gospel
 
One more wonderful thing about the hemp oil;
it seems to remove anxiety
at least it keeps my lady from ruminating about....everything....into the night...to tears

(I'm buying out the store)

Stopped me from crying just hours after her first application

Well, Gary, I don’t do any type of heavy work anymore. A little light work on our power boat, getting it ready for the water, other than that, really nothing. I spend a lot of time on our computer, when wife is at work. Cleaning our apartment is basically the hardest thing I do nowadays.

But, if the 1000mg balm would take away this “baggy, aching” pain for a longer time than two or three hours, it would worth the extra money.

I've gotta segregate the CBD balm from any other salve, ointment, balm in the pain relief dept
I've got 'em all
Nothing....nothing comes close to this GoGreen 1000mg balm

I just split a cord of wood today
took a couple breaks, but knocked it out in two hours
one application of the balm
I'm sittin' in the lazy boy, pain free
a few weeks ago, sitting here would be nothing less than excruciating

Last year?, when chopping wood, took many breaks.....many many breaks, hanging on tree limbs, poppin' advil like jelly bellies

I've got 7 more cord to go

easy peasy....now

I've gone Green
 
I'm glad to hear that you're experiencing pain-free days.

Just be careful ... even good addictions are still addictions.

As for Icy Hot, Tiger Balm, etc ... they were all that was available for sore muscles back in my martial arts days. That's why I brought them up.

Is CBD addictive?
I haven't read that
Been told the contrary

Please share yer knowledge, Philly

Didn't mean physically addictive, sorry. More psychological dependence.

The Taoist medical concept that you can suffer from pleasure as much as from pain.

I know when you have pain theories like that go out the window. I'm just looking long-term.

Does the hemp oil she uses have THC in it ? Just curious.

Its so inspirational reading these posts. That’s great that you and your wife are living your life with less pain.
We get 4 to 6 chords of wood each year. Truth be known, I really enjoy chopping wood. It’s great for reducing stress.

So so glad everyone else is doing well. Good news all round.
