CBD oil. It doesn't matter which exotic ailment you're talking about, someone will ask you if you've tried it and that they think it might help.
Also, CBD honestly needs the same warnings as Grapefruit since it works on the same metabolic pathways and can decrease effectiveness of certain drugs.
...like my cancer drugs.
If your drugs say to avoid grapefruit... You should probably consider skipping CBD as well.
oh, that's useful info...
Had a patient with a really bad reaction to a topical chemotherapy agent because he was moisturizing with CBD oil and wasnβt telling anyone about it. In trying to understand what was going on, it turns out that CBD specifically slows the metabolism of this particular chemotherapy, so it was building up in his skin.
Oi vey tell me about it.
I've gotten way more wary about the stuff I put in my body since I got on these cancer drugs.
Increased depression is actually a symptom of my cancer, and I had a lot of hallucinogenic mushroom caps I had stored away for a rainy day, and a friend suggested maybe that would help. Recent studies as well as our own personal experiences spoke to the idea that a good "trip" can help alleviate depression.
But my immediate reaction was... there's basically been no studies done on the interactions between psilocybin and the drug I am taking. Literally, who the fuck knows what could happen? The reminder that I had them actually lead me to give them away because, fuck me, I'm not risking it.
Yeah, a lot of the chemicals in mushrooms tend to metabolize through the liver, and so do so many other drugs. Good job, taking care of yourself. Best of luck.
Thanks for the kind words. Cheers.
And pomegranate too, at least for my anti-rejection meds.
CBD does ... something. It makes me sleepy. So at least for some people it can serve as a sleep aid.
Not to me though I just tried it out of curiosity, I have no desire to be even more sleepy
It gave me massive munchies and not much else.
That could be because it's an unregulated product, and you were getting THC.
In this case I would doubt it, since it was sold in the Swedish market, where THC is illegal. It could however have been some bullshit of some other kind.
Is cbd regulated there, though? THC is illegal in the US, too, but since it comes from the same plant, and there's no regulation and this study found 20% of cbd oil had THC innit
this is the first thing that came to my mind tooβ¦.
there is some medicinal value to it, but usually not what they claim it to be, and usually not in the form that itβs inβ¦.
I've seen one of those fake bottles. It seemed too cheap to me so I looked up the ingredient dosage and it was near nothing. Real cbd oil is quite expensive.
Personally I can recommend cbd pills. It's easy and you can dose it very precisely to your liking. In the nl you can get them over the counter, as is the case in many other places I imagine.
