Then again, I've never had one before either.

(23,539 posts)it helps some kids but not all. It's just a tool in the toolbox. Now insurance is covering Epidiolex which is FDA approved for seizures. Of course it's insanely expensive. I am glad they are making this med. But, of course the company has to be evil.

(7,431 posts)But I have to tell you that the beneficial medical effects of CBD are getting more attention within the medical community. The "drugged-out" stigma of anything related to "pot" is waning. BTW, if you're ingesting medical marijuana to get a good buzz, you're on the wrong track. It's like expecting Advil to eliminate symptoms of constipation.

(9,888 posts)anyone personally that it has actually helped. Not saying it doesn't, just saying the people I've known who have tried it have not had any luck. We were hoping it would help my mother's arthritis, but no go. The people I have known who tried it were using it for pain. A friend of a friend swears it helped her Crohn's big time.

(32,674 posts)CBD for 3 months now and notice a big difference. Less pain, longer sleep and have been able to increase my jogging to 4 to 5 miles with faster times. 70 years old and I dont feel a day over 65. No longer use to get high. Not even sure I like the buzz any more. Great results with the CBD.

(9,888 posts)my mother also has that, she's 89. I didn't even think to see if that may be reduced. Will have to suggest she try again for a different reason.
