CBD/hemp oil, anybody use it?

[Doofy]

Or 6 if one has a medical license. Ya Larry I must say I partake a little for the many pains . . . :drink:

Tried it in the late 60s. Made me paranoid and gave me a sore throat. Today's more potent strains would probably kill me.

CBD oil seems to be a part of something I only learned from through another patient in a doctor office a few weeks ago. He was telling about a friend that used CBD oil. That friend picked it up from Joe Tippens blog. Personally I find some brands of CBD oil does help my point pain but most what I read about it seems positive but there are too many people making is sound like magic for headaches to cancer. The lack of scientific research is overwhelmed by anecdotal stories about CBD oil usage that we have no way of easily knowing where to believe these stories.

On next Saturday 7 Mar 2020 872 acres of good farm land is up for an absolute auction that is in like 15 tracts. A firm raised a lot of funds for hemp production and purchased this land for $10,000 per acre from a guy that I know. A lot of money has been lost in the last year or two in KY trying to get rich off the CBD oil market.

Last Sat the guy up the road that sold the land to a Hemp growing firm 4 years ago bought it back for $5,000 to $6000 per acre. One farm has several $100,000.00's of improvements.

Some growers around here still have barns full of it to get rid of, dump, etc.

I know a guy who lost big in tobacco and jumped on the hemp wagon, he has barns full of it he can't get rid of.

Same here with the hemp hanging in tobacco barns and plant green houses.

Some are going back to tobacco (dark fired for chewing and dipping) but the tobacco buying firms have cut contracts to about 50% for long term growers and not doing business with new accounts. Recently I was told they are paying $2.80 if you are lucky enough to get any contract. The government bought out the tobacco bases years ago so tax dollars are no longer directly going to support tobacco farmers.

Farming is not going away but it is changing too fast for the small operators to stay in the game very well. The 100 trillions in interest free loans around the world is going to delay some foreclosures for a while.

My friend lost his contract is why he quit with tobacco. Tobacco is all but done around here, it's being grown cheaper overseas. Go to a store and look at loose leaf packs, Red Man around here is like $7 a pack, made in the USA. Starr or Red or Big Duke is $1.99 a pack and it says "contains 70% overseas tobacco".

It was not that long ago that there were small plots of tobacco here and there that people used to buy a car or put kids through school. There is a large house I drive by at what is now a major intersection. In the back yard, is a small log cabin, that to be honest, looks like a big chicken coop. One day I happened to talk to the grandson of the man that used to own the house. His grandfather put the log cabin on rollers and moved it to where it sits today with a pair of mules. At some point, they were able to build this huge two story house. I assume they did it with tobacco money. Their old farm fields have gone to forest a long time ago but the pines are going away and the land is not growing big, expensive homes.

The wife's family has farm land that is being divided up as the generations pass. The land is rented out to a large farming operation and he plants different crops but he does grow tobacco every year or so. They come in, cut the tobacco and hang it on metal structures on big wooden pallets that are placed in the fields. They cover the pallets up to cure the tobacco. No more lifting bundles of tobacco a couple of stories up in the barn while balancing on 2x's with bugs, dirt and tobacco falling in your hair, eyes, down your shirt, etc.

CBD is actually derived from Hemp too.

 

[hammermill]

I prefer CBD Isolate products. They contain zero THC so I can stay clear headed all day and I am positive I won't be Positiver on any drug tests any time soon. Really helps my back and my knees. Animals love it too. My MinPin made it another couple of years because of CBD.

IMO topical ointments etc only last a for a short time and are a waste of money...it is important for those that use it in other ways understand the basic difference between the two fundamental types of pot...

I suggest anyone interested do their own research ...but as a sufferer of RA it can be a great relief of chronic pain...

Love Leafly education! Thank you for the share, friend! I normally don't like topicals either. I tried some Freezing Point Salve from Infinite CBD and it cools so deep it may have changed my mind on topicals.
