That's pretty cool. Self-sufficiency at work!
My orthopedist suggested I try CBD for my arthritis; it works like a charm. She said that the reason they have so many different pain relief options is because none of them work for everybody... you have to experiment to find the one that works best for you. Since our county finally agreed that cannabis is legal to grow, I bought some seeds for plants that were specifically high CBD and low THC (which is the compound that gets you high). CBD works better if you have at least a small amount of THC mixed in. I have some ready to put into olive oil; after about 6 weeks it will be ready to make a salve with beeswax or coconut oil, or I can use some of it internally if I need it.
There are liquid drops, gummy bears, mints... all kinds of stuff.
DH has a friend with seizures. He watched him take CBD one day and it stopped his seizure. Crazy stuff.
