So clearly I have a long history of chronic headaches and thought trying CBD Oil would be worthwhile as I was told it had no THC, no psychoactive properties if you will, and I thought hell i’ll give it a shot. The topic got brought up in our local AA Facebook recovery group and got lambasted!! It was pretty funny. Lots of opinions here. Mine is just one, but I think it worth looking at, for me the dead give away that it isn’t positive for recovery is the fact that the oil smells a shit ton like dank weed.
I tried two different brands – oil and pills – and it simply wasn’t positive as pertains to my sobriety, wasn’t inexpensive, wasn’t effective to my chronic headache pain and hearing about people testing positive and I had never even heard you could smoke it till this string on facebook popped up (if that was true).
I think if you follow the money its a great big scam from the illegal/legal pot industry blooming in certain states (where it’s legal) to be able to sell their shit (which has drastically dropped in price due to supply) nationwide. And frankly looks like it’s working – I usually find you can find truth most effectively by following the money and in this case, as most I believe that strategy is apt.
Could I be wrong, absolutely – is it possible it works for others but not me and the side effects of mine so similar to when I smoked weed were purely psychosomatic ? Absolutely – lord knows I have an active imagination, but that’s still my gut feeling based on my own empirical evidence and observations. I never judge anyone else’s sobriety , period, cause let’s be honest I care mostly about my own.
That said, I’m back to after ten years, my best medication for chronic headaches, is good diet, prayer, and staying in the middle of the bed with AA. Topomax made me retarded dumb, and I honestly feel like people have lost their minds to that drug, and all the others I’ve tried over the years just dulled it, gave me a shit ton of other side effects from constipation to lack of motivation, other kinds of headaches, you name it. Now you can add CBD Oil, or hemp oil, or Snake oil in my opinion to the list of shit that doesn’t help my overall headaches but definitely does fuck with my head. For whatever that is worth!
