    Exactly true you need the best type theres ones we call a head stone and one called a body stone cbd on it’s own won’t help it’s just an oil you need the blend .I too suffer chronic pain s1 .s2 and lumber nerves were mangled .I tried every thing but good dope relaxes me .

    I have chronic pain from carpel tunnel, finally just got to the point of trying marijuana. To tack onto what you say at the end of the video when you are talking about your relief, what I think I realised (given the immense releif I felt) was, yes the weed made me feel a touch high, but being in pain is not being myself either. I am far less patient of a person, and full of spiralling thoughts when in more severe periods of pain, hobbies I’ve enjoyed my whole life put me in pain. Given that, I’m just not convinced that that’s “me”. I’ve always been drug averse because I hate the idea of not being myself, but I wasn’t considering that being in pain isn’t who I am. It’s hard to forget that when you’re used to putting up with something.



  3. Arthur Constantine on April 3, 2023 at 8:08 am

    I have this as well for 4 years now, I use weed here and there supper rare I prefer weed but I signed a contract with a pain clinic it’s kinda bs, I can’t use thc at all buuuut I can buy/use cbd products with that pain clinic kinda stupid , if I weren’t under contract I would use weed a lot more, skywalker og /alien rock candy my favorite strains that are great for pain🙏🏼



  4. SPotter FPV on April 3, 2023 at 8:08 am

    Yup!!! On my bad bad days I use a bed strap connected to the end of the bed to pull myself up… ONE CANNOT TWIST YOUR HIPS AS INE WOULD TO SHIFT WEIGHT TO GET UP… NOW the drugs don’t work and of course coming off of OPIOIDS is a whole new world of SH# STAY AWAY FROM PAIN MANAGEMENT… I CAN’T.



  5. Romelia Polly on April 3, 2023 at 8:15 am

    Weedborn has very useful CBD products with all the supplements I need.



  6. Andres Israel on April 3, 2023 at 8:15 am

    I know patients who are federal employees and have to leave their pain untreated because of the stigma and arbitrary laws to this day



  7. BrettDuffy1992 on April 3, 2023 at 8:16 am

    What about opiate narcotics



  8. Catherine Martinelli on April 3, 2023 at 8:17 am

    I had this from CRPS spread. It’s horrible. I’m so sorry. Juniper CBD balm really helps, it’s part of my daily skin care.



  9. Camila Corona Fazolari on April 3, 2023 at 8:18 am

    I have chronic pain and the pain meds don’t work anymore, I would love to try CBD, but unfortunately here in Brasil that’s not gonna happen



  10. BMWOCanada on April 3, 2023 at 8:19 am

    This is very helpful and informative.



  11. Capo on April 3, 2023 at 8:21 am

    Thank you for this. Been suffering with chronic headaches for 2 years straight with no answers or relief. My doctor said I can try this and CBD. Hope and pray this works for everyone watching dealing with pain every day 🙏🏼🙏🏼



  12. DEE SMITH on April 3, 2023 at 8:21 am

    Okay you don’t like the weed on Fire or the CBD you don’t let it on fire that is actually 100% illegal to light it on fire you need to get you a vaporizer one that does not burn it up then you take the decarb and you make your own Edibles and you buy one of those magic butter makers and you can make your own Edibles it is amazing. But stop lighting the weed on fire one it is illegal and two is disgusting get yourself a dry herb vaporizer and it is a more pure form way of consuming the medication



  13. horror gaming on April 3, 2023 at 8:22 am

    No need for a card for cbd honey



  14. Patrick Bowen on April 3, 2023 at 8:23 am

    Excellent, thank you for making this video, it was so very informative and educational, thank you for going through all you had to go through to make this video for us. You are just terrific~



  15. Janis Asrat on April 3, 2023 at 8:25 am

    Thank you. Well said and explained.



  16. 3dsmax rocks on April 3, 2023 at 8:32 am

    150 a bottle. That’s bullshit. It grows FREE naturally and everybody should be allowed to grow weed and make their resin oils, dabs etc etc etc



  17. BrettDuffy1992 on April 3, 2023 at 8:33 am

    For me high amounts of THC does help with pain it gets you to a point where you just don’t care that you are in pain



  18. Climate Zone5B on April 3, 2023 at 8:33 am

    I thought I’m watching at 1.5x I was not.



  19. Zakk-GG MoonyHam on April 3, 2023 at 8:34 am

    Thank you.. thank you.. thank you….



  20. Keto Cajun on April 3, 2023 at 8:35 am

    Thank you!!! I’ve been dealing with shingles and cannabis has helped with pain along with the negative mental energy.



  21. Marcus gaeta on April 3, 2023 at 8:36 am

    Absolutely not sketchy at all… For the condition, you’re talking about, they probably wish they could have just written the script… that is assuming you already had the diagnosis



  22. The10thManRules on April 3, 2023 at 8:36 am

    Clearly at 6:44, she just rubbed one out. Cheers!



  23. Damon Pitt on April 3, 2023 at 8:37 am

    I’m smoking top shelf California hemp from a dispensary and it’s like it gets my head super high nobody Buzz I’m wondering if that’s sativa but it’s like I got a third eye in the headache it’s always after I smoke right between my eyes you know you’re high when you can feel it in your eyes it’s so strong it feels like a tranquilizer when I come down maybe it’s just me



  24. Mar Ness on April 3, 2023 at 8:37 am

    Shrooms! Works for cluster headaches maybe it’ll work for face pain. Omg that pain sounds horrible! Oh man my worst pain days have always been abscess tooth or infected exposed tooth root! I weigh couple hundo maybe but I was on a journey and all of sudden I get this double over pain in my mouth that put me down. I couldn’t get up it seemed like the pain was less if I was bent over but holy smokes I couldn’t do anything except shake my hand back and forth. Anyway sorry not trying to take anything away from ur story. I just feel ur pain and know somewhat how u might feel?



  25. Regina Fisher on April 3, 2023 at 8:39 am

    It might help but it is not going to cure pain it might help you from being nauseous from the pain, it will take the edge off a teeny tiny bit. But if you have yourself a mixed drink that would probably do a better job.



  26. Velleity To Rebel on April 3, 2023 at 8:39 am

    Weed is illegal in my country, even medicinal use. I suffer from tmj and since it was ignored but doctors for so long physical therapy doesn’t help. I tried weed with friends at a party and I was blown away with how much it helped my pain. It scares me that something that helps me so much can put me in jail.



  27. Melissa Schnars on April 3, 2023 at 8:40 am

    No one cares



  28. luke lombard on April 3, 2023 at 8:41 am

    Someone is really stupid but doesnt mean its going to work let see how far you go closest to the cemetery.! Your not conserned about those have allergies or allergic or haveing problems breathing when a person on inhaulers.. that cuase a real OD MEANS OVER DOSE !!!



  29. Erin on April 3, 2023 at 8:41 am

    I tried cbd oil im still in pain



  30. all guns blazed on April 3, 2023 at 8:43 am

    I really wish marijuana was completely legal in the uk , I have chronic neck pain and besides the unhealthy things like alcohol marijuana is the only thing that helps me… and I have to obtain it through Illegal means… how fucked is that!!!



  31. Jonathan Joestar on April 3, 2023 at 8:44 am

    i dont have any physical conditions, but i suffer from (undiagnosed, i feel uncomortable talking to a doctor or therapist about this) anxiety and im really depressed most of the time. one time my friend invited me to his place across the country (in England so it wasnt a super long journey) and we smoked up. i have never felt such a lack of anxiety in my life. before it was always there, no matter what i did about it. i have to hide it from my parents, and from police because stupidly, its still illegal in england. but its one of the few things that has actually helped me.



  32. Resident 1 on April 3, 2023 at 8:49 am

    Why does this bitch think she is so interesting? I just want to know if this will work



  33. Jeremy Amaral on April 3, 2023 at 8:50 am

    I cry and want to die because of my fibromyalgia pain i feel you. Its just so much suffering.



  34. John Berry on April 3, 2023 at 8:53 am

    150 a bottle !!! Wow 😮



  35. Miss B on April 3, 2023 at 8:56 am

    Just got prescribed a thc oil and cbd oil and seeing the bit about the tinctures not working for you made me 🙁



  36. Wakanda on April 3, 2023 at 8:56 am

    What’s her name? I wanna know if she would like to race money for research? It would be awesome to talk to her! ✌🏽🤓



  37. PrussianKami on April 3, 2023 at 8:56 am

    If I can barely handle my chronic abdominal pains, idk what I’d do if I had to deal with what she’s had to deal with. My doctor suggested that I should try medical marijuana recently so I really hope it works as well as it did here



  38. Anthony Ramirez on April 3, 2023 at 8:56 am

    I hate Buzzfeed.



  39. Hammond Miers on April 3, 2023 at 8:57 am

    I have been learning a lot about CBD on the Weedborn website. Check it out. The best oils right now on this site as well.



  40. Connor Underwood on April 3, 2023 at 8:57 am

    I don’t have TN, but I do have hereditary nerve palsies and damage that’s caused constant pain and numbness in my arms and legs simultaneously (didn’t think it possible to be numb and in pain at the same time and in the same spot but whatever) + random stabbing pains all over me, and the pains have been here since I was about 5 or 6 (10 years now roughly) and I’ve always been curious about marijuana as a treatment, so I found this video at the right time i reckon



  41. Christopher Mudd on April 3, 2023 at 8:57 am

    This dude mb doctor is trying to sound smart. CBD does nothing without THC it is a joint effort between both particles to be effective in adults. Some of these doctors don’t have any experience in Cannabis and they are trying to sound like they know what they are talking about.I have thirty years experience and dicing is the most important thing to learn when it comes to Cannabis and yourself.



  42. Keleke on April 3, 2023 at 8:57 am

    I just don’t know. I went to a pain specialist who is suggesting medical Marijuana. I’ve never done Marijuana. I’m 51. Try?



  43. Dave T on April 3, 2023 at 8:57 am

    tinctures did nothing even above 100 mg edibles never hit me vape pens are metered amounts per hit glad you found something or is this just a commercial ad



  44. Iball Slide on April 3, 2023 at 8:58 am

    Did you have mvd too?? For vascular compression on nerve



  45. C V on April 3, 2023 at 8:59 am

    Why is this me? 😂😂 I have a different ailment, but very similar difficulties.

    I’m trying to find out what doctors prescribe specifically. Do they ever tell you how much and/or what method to use? Or do they just approve you to buy whatever you want from the medical marijuana supply?

    Looking into all ways to try and have a full life but I’m so far outta the loop with all this! Lol



  46. Marcelo Gondin on April 3, 2023 at 9:00 am

    I am also treating a suicide disease with medical cannabis, OCD, depression and PTSD

    Lame



  50. Willy Wonka on April 3, 2023 at 9:04 am

    Nothing wrong with it…. It’s the FDA that has the problem with it…. CBD oil is no secret…. I guess it is in America.
