CBD oil tastes GAWDAWFUL!!

[eridani]

I got a sampler of 4 types from a supplier of extracts from European hemp. Tried a few drops straight. Yecch!! Much better in ginger tea (10 drops) with a bit of sherry. Also I heard that rubbing it on your hands at night and then putting on vinyl gloves on is helpful for arthritis. Waiting to see if I notice any anti-inflammatory effect.

Of to vape some Afgooey and eat a 10 mg Indica chocolate Bomb Bon. Night night.

5. Just one night so far

Seems to be less pain, but still quite a bit of inflammation.

2. Fill gel caps with a dropper, best way to go:) n/t

3. I have found that the taste of the cannabis oil

depends on the oil that is used, i.e. grapeseed oil (my favorite) has little to no taste, but takes longer to make. Whereas canola (organic only) is quicker to make but tastes nasty.

The oil is great for arthritis and spasms/cramps/restless leg.

4. Ingestion? Topical application? Both? n/t

6. Yes, both.

I take a tsp of canna-oil at bedtime for paralytic spasms and insomnia. I have hemiplegia due to a traumatic brain injury and am paralyzed in my lower body.

I have used it topically for sore muscles, a pinched nerve (ouch!), neuropathy and an undiagnosed growth on my lower arm. (It made the growth disappear.)

Although I do not have arthritis, I have given some to a few people that do and they tell me they get great relief.

7. I'm on the second sample from the kit of four

I've been ingesting a capsule before bedtime, and also rubbing my hands with it and putting on vinyl gloves. it does seem to be helping, and I'm not noticing a lot of difference between the two samples I've tried so far. Skipped the topical application last night, and found that I shouldn't have. More flexibility and less pain.

8. Why not cut it with coconut oil...

and put it in gel caps to swallow?

Store in the refrigerator.

9. The gel caps hold the CBD oil OK. How would dilution help?

Increase uptake or something?

10. I like mine.

Be mindful what part of the plant its extracted from, There are "Cannabis" oils out there extracted from parts of the plant that have zero therapeutic effect, inasmuch as they don't actually contain any CBD.

11. You need to deal with vendors who provide assay results n/t
