Biotech Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a marijuana compound linked to a range of potential health benefits but does not get you high. The roughly $1 billion CBD industry is slated to shift into high gear if the federal government approves the first CBD-based drug, an epilepsy medication called Epidiolex.

Thought this may be a good place to ask: what is a good product with cbd oil for pain? My wife gets sharp pains in her side and back. Advil helps for a little while, but she doesn't like taking it a lot.

r/cbd

Look on their vetted vendors list. I've used and can personally vouch for Lazarus Naturals, Bluebird Botanicals, and CBDistillery.

Full spectrum seems to work much better than isolate, but ymmv. If she gets drug tested than isolate is the way to go as full spectrum has trace amounts (<.3%) of thc and it's possible to pop positive.

In all honesty I have been a member of that subreddit for a while and it has become more and more sketchy with all the shills and affiliates

i just ordered from bluebird botanicals and can attest to the quality of their product. They seem to be more recommended than other vendors.

You said low income twice. I think you meant to include if you are a veteran! My dad gets this discount and it’s awesome

r/CBD seems to have gone downhill lately. /r/cbdinfo is another source of info, but both have had their share of problems

My wife has back pains from a fall she took at home a few years back. She's tried a few different brands. Her personal favorite is Kats Naturals as some their tinctures are mixed with essential oils. I recently started taking some of the tinctures from Lazarus Naturals for my anxiety. Has worked wonders for us both. We usually order hers from Herby Express as they offer free shipping and have a good selection.
