      After speaking with a few palliative care folks and seeing posts here, I decided to purchase CBD oil to help relieve treatment side effects (Not in lieu of treatment). I bought one you take via mouth (droplet) – and my goal is to help relieve nausea and nerves.  I have been using it in the evening when I start to feel crummy.  

      When do others take it? Should I take it in the AM regardless of how I feel then? The recommended dosage on the bottle is 5mg (half the droplet).  I know results vary on anything, but curious for those finding relief.  The usual nausea meds are just not sufficient and I try to avoid Ativan.  Thanks!

          My husband definitely uses it in the AM (and PM). It makes him feel better for sure. He was a long-time cannabis user before cancer, though.

            I believe both am and pm. 

            I have heard it is good for joint pain and i keep meaning to buy some.  It seems to be very  helpful amongst alot of arthritis sufferers.

              Oh yeah, CBD/THC oil helped me through a rough patch there 6 days after my 1st infusion of the combo Ipi & Nivo, no appitite, vomiting, body aches etc. I have the oil drops still cocked & ready if extreme pains come back!!

                CBD oil, just like other cannabis products, works as advertised. However, let me offer this suggestion: If you live in a medical marijuana state see if you can get a medical card and buy your CBD oil there. Why? I read an article in High Times that said that most CBD oil you can buy online or in regular stores or head shops is extracted from industrial hemp and may contain trace elements of harmful cancer causing solvents. The CBD oil I can get at my medical dispensary is made from cannabis and I believe is extracted with ethanol. Plus, you're going to be in safer hands with a state licensed medical dispensary.

                Just wanted to share that info.

                  Well, it is actually true. It is a proven fact and i recently read an article on this topic. Visit site if you want to get more information regarding hemp oil and which oil type should be used.

                    I've been taking CBD for pain for several years now the stuff is actually better than what the doctor has prescribed. But instead of getting it from a store I get it online at https://blimburnseeds.com/critical-plus because the prices are much cheaper I'm on a set income
