Any Canadians using CBD oil?

[Karla]

I think CBD oil is my next option. However there are so many different types I am confused. I definitely want CBD and not THC. What kind are you using and where are you purchasing it from? And mostly... is it helping?

I would appreciate any insight.

**Canadians ONLY reply please. Especially if your from NB. I appreciate other responses however unfortunately the rules are very different for each country.

Hi!

Necroing this thread but I am currently taking Shubie CBD Oil sold by OrganiGram (NB!). You'll need to get medical access to this. I'm in Ontario myself and they ship to me.

It's 23.7% CBD and it has a small amount of THC (<1%) which some studies suggest is more effective than CBD alone (and it's 10x too little THC to get you high or anything) so I would recommend this versus straight CBD products (which can be obtained without a medical license in some countries, don't think we have legalized hemp yet in Canada?)

Recently started taking 2ml of this a day (for 60mg of CBD) a day before starting Humira. 4 days later it's like I don't have crohns. I have no idea if it's the CBD or Humira but something is working within 4 days so I'm going to continue both until something stops working!

And because it was impossible to find any dosing information online, here's my schedule:
10am: 0.75ml
4pm: 0.75ml
9pm: 0.5ml

It definitely keeps me awake for a few hours so it's great during the day just don't take it 3 or so hours before bed.

When starting on 60mg a day I had intense night sweats the first few nights (which I would only notice when I woke up due to BM) but after 3 nights they are gone for me completely and I just slept through my first full night in like 2 months.

Thanks for the reply and the information. Its very helpful! I had actually ordered some CBD oil (without any THC) and just received it in the mail a couple days ago. I didn't need a prescription. Maybe I would have with the oils that have a small amount of THC? Im not sure. I wanted to try without any THC for the first bottle. Maybe my next order I will try the one with the small amount if I find this one doesnt help. But...

I have been in a major flare-up for a couple weeks. Stomache is so sensitive to even touch due to inflamation, swelling, burning sensation and pain. I decided today that I HAD to try the oil as it has been my worst day of pain with this flare-up. (I didn't start it as soon as I received it because I was nervous about self- dosing!). I figured I would start really small and go from there as dosing info is very vague. I only used 4 drops under the tongue. Literally 2 mins later I rubbed my stomache against the countertop by accident and I froze waiting for the pain I knew was going to come. NOTHING! It kind of freaked me out so I put my hands on my stomache and pushed a bit. Seriously no pain!!! Is it possible that it can work instantly??? There is no way it could be a coincidence!

I am definitely going to continue using this to see. Im kind of excited thinking finally something that may work?!?
