I don't know if it will help or not but it's worth a shot unless it shows up on a drug test. The pain clinic tests him every 2 months. I talked to his dr about cbd oil and he wasn't open to trying it at all.
There isn't much research on it let alone a double blind randomized placebo controlled trial for pain. Any good doctor would be skeptical. I hope your husband feels better soon. Herniated discs are incredibly frustrating.
Thank you.
Maybe I should have prefaced my statement by saying that my degrees are in business and psychology, not in chemistry. As well as my knowledge of Marijuana is very limited.
I have never done marijuana or cigarettes. But for every "positive" study, there are "negative" one:
Understand, I could care less what people do on thier own time. But don't act like there aren't any side effects.
@BamaDawg what is your disagreement?
@BamaDawg
"Understand, I could care less what people do on thier own time. But don't act like there aren't any side effects."
no said there wasn't. but to say it is the same as being a cigarette smoker is disingenuous at best, moronic at worse
*edit* just noticed you were a troll. I would not have responded if I saw that earlier.
Where do you get that I am a troll? Is it because I disagree with the use of marijuana except for medical purposes? Is it just that I seem to disagree with the crowd? I'm just curious when you formulated that opinion.
As for the subject at hand, I never said they were exactly the same. I was only pointing out that we spent, and actually still spend, millions trying to get everyone to quit smoking one thing, only to want to make it acceptable to smoke something else. Defending the lesser of two evils is not a defense. Again, as I have stated, I am no expert. But I am fairly sure that smoking anything will eventually have a negative effect on the cardiopulmonary, as well as (in this case) it would seem some levels of memory loss.
I will say it again, slowly this time for you to understand, I DON'T care what someone else does on thier one time. I disagree with it, but I don't care.
I just wish Mike G would quit writing stories or bringing it up with BA on DND. They’re kids-- yes athletes on scholarship and all that—but kids do dumb stuff like keep weed in a dorm room.
Let Kirby do his thing and don’t feed the narrative. If they don’t get right, Kirby will handle it.
Not a big poster, this has bothered me though. No hard feelings @MikeGriffith
A big problem in the youth today is so much is being accepted or tolerated to begin with. Ms Holloman fell right in that trap.
I was a Jr in high school in 1999 and I watched my mother make my best friend at the time eat a pack of cigarettes. She told us if she ever caught us then we would eat em. He called her bluff....needless to say neither of us smoke.
Unfortunately, culture today looks for something to blame rather than themselves or their kids.
And personally, I think they should have to be punished on two accounts...1) breaking the law (even though it is a questionable law at best imo) and 2) for being stoopid. Who has a maintenance call put in and leaves their bud in plain sight? I worry if they can even remain eligible to play football. Stoopid should be felony....one thing to break a law but entire different thing to be an id!ot while doing it.
My wife uses CBD oil and I can see a huge difference in her pain levels. She buys hers from a friend who sells high quality supplements. They guarantee their oil is THC free. My bride doesn't have to concern herself with drug tests as she takes care of the horses and the farm. I can't take a chance on it because I work for local government. I asked her friend if their company would pay my next 4 years salary and my retirement pay until I died if I tested positive. You can guess the answer. I have had 2 back surgeries, a L3, L4 laminectomy and L 3,4,5 fusion. I'm currently in pain management but the new federal guidelines have cut my dosage in half. I'm probably going to need at least an L6 and probably L2 additional fusion in the next 18 months. Another point that your pain management dr. probably won't tell you is that prednisone is NOT approved by the FDA for spinal injection. Dr's are allowed to use that way if they want because it is an alternative therapy. Pain docs get paid to give injections, not write prescriptions. In the end it's all about the $$$. I hope your husband can avoid the knife but sooner or later he will probably need it.
You folks with chronic pain should research curcummin and tumeric. Very potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory. Buy high quality, even the raw root if you can, and grind it yourself in to a smoothie.
No problem DawgsInTheMountains..... I just answer whatever questions BA asks, and I try to do so as candidly as possible with as much information and perspective as I can bring to the table. I disagreed with a message that was not in line with what I heard Kirby Smart talk about, and it was something I felt should be pointed out. People can and will disagree with others' opinions -- including mine. I'm just disappointed some people took what I said out of context and portrayed it as something else to serve their agenda of attacking me on social media. No one likes to be misquoted or misrepresented, but when you give opinions for a living and put yourself out there, it's going to happen, and you have to rely on others to keep people straight.
It's the finding the quality cbd oil that worries me. I have no idea where to start looking. Once you get into the pain clinic cycle you are messed up, imo. You're hung with it and it does help to a point but you don't want to take pain pills and muscle relaxers until you die. All I want to see is if it would help but we can't risk losing the pain clinic just in case it doesn't. See vicious cycle.
@bankwalker, Thanks for the info. I'll check into that as well.
Many are interested in it, but they're extremely reluctant because of the law. Simply put, it's not worth risking their license to them for a herb that may or may not work. While they legalized possession of medical oils, they have not legalized any way of actually obtaining it. There are no legal dispensers, and it's actually illegal to go to Colorado and then transport it across state lines. At least this was the case the last time a looked into it a year or so ago.
As for me? I'm extremely convinced it has opportunities medically. I've seen an uncontrolled epilepsy girl on 4 different, very expensive, very high adverse reaction, epilepsy meds. And she still had seizures. She went on the Haley's hope oil stuff out of Colorado, she got off every single one of her seizure meds and became seizure free for at least a year. Brand new high dollar medications from big pharma almost never see results like that. That's near miraculous.
There is also some benefit being shown with certain mental disorders like Autism. Pain and nausea, muscle spams, end of life comfort, they all look promising too.
But keep in mind it's not a snake oil cure all. And the hurdles are going to be big for a drug that can get you high and be grown in your back yard (very little profit incentive). In fact, don't be surprised if everything is legalized except the ability to grow it. Money talks...
@AnotherDawg Ditto sir. ditto. I think that the point in these off of the field case(s) is that the team has rules, and guidelines that must be to adhered to by all, and that everyone should stay focused on their team, their school, and for goodness sake staying out of trouble is (and ought to be) the main thing to be avoided. I am not one to know either any of the pros or cons of anything related to the marijuana thing. There have been a total of six arrests, and that is the issue. SIX of them. All an assortment of different things happening to these young student athletes, but that is just too much off the field trouble, is it not??? The big social commentary aside, and (to me) it's like Kirby Smart had the entire team saying back during the 2017 season, "Keep the main thing, the main thing." What is that? FOCUS. For me, it's GO DAWGS!!!
