It does have an effect on some use cases. My dog that passed away last year had a ruptured disk when she was 3. She suffered with weather related back pain for years. When we started giving her CBD chews, the pain seemed to trouble much less if at all. It also helped her be more comfortable during her battle with cancer.
I used it some nights when I know I'm going to hurt really bad after work, and it does take the edge off. It's not as good as actual weed or a pain killer, but it's not all snake oil either.
I guess. I tried it once, didn't do anything.
I thought the first time I did too. It's a proactive drug since it's main property is anti-inflammatory. So on my desk nights, or during summer on heavy haul days, if I take some right when I sit down for the night, it reduces the stiffness and pain by maybe 25%. It still hurts, but not as much. Might be all in my head, dunno, but popping asprin or advil is probably much worse for me.
I guess I need to start growing my own meadowsweets to make painkillers.
Did you leave it under your tongue or just swallow?
Sublingual absorption is better than gastric unless you take a high dose integrated into food/gummies.
This was a smoked variant. The potency of the liquid was supposed to be fairly high, but who knows for sure.
