What is it?

My Personal Experience 

CBD is a cannabis compound that gives the user the medical benefits of marijuana without feeling "high" or "stoned". There is no THC in CBD only products.

​CBD helps with a number of ailments including:
  • inflamation 
  • anxiety
  • depression
  • muscle spasms
  • pain
  • tremors
  • and many more
When trying CBD for the first time, I had done a lot of research and gotten a lot of opinions due to the huge stigma around marijuana. When you're in pain everyday like I am, you are willing to try anything, but I needed to function with or without my pain, so being high wasn't an option for my daily life. I personally found CBD extremely helpful with my pain. I prefer topical treatments of CBD over oral. I find oral treatments to really help me mood-wise/psychologically (anxiety, stress, etc). Lotions, oils, and bath bombs are probably my top 3 pain relieving CBD products. 

Products I recommend for Spoonies

Vaporizing Pen - It is a great way to be discreet about using CBD in public settings IMO. Helps with my anxiety and stress to prevent flare ups. They also come in lots of yummy flavors (mine's currently pink lemonade!)
Rollerball - I have one scented like lavender and it's super helpful at bedtime when flareups and stress can make sleep tricky. Great for migraines and generalized flare ups.
Bath Bombs - Bath's are essential in a spoonie's life, but having a nice smelling bath bomb that also minimizes over all aches and pains is wonderful.
Lotions - Perfect for generalized flare ups or overall body aches and pains.
Gummies/Edibles - I find any oral CBD is great for my mental health. Between anxiety and stress that cause flare ups. Others do find it helps with pain!
Oil - Again, personally I found putting the oil under my tongue SUPER helpful for my mental state, but there are so many studies that show it helps with pain and so much more!
