As someone with lack of yin, and therefore showing some symptoms of excess yang, such as skin issues I am tempted to try cbd oil for acute needs (never for chronic issues) such as using it during heavy training block, but at the same time I do have the knowledge about mantras and their usage, so it is best to use the powers of the mind and soul... The idea of an easy solution is tempting, like a push of a button, but we SS ought to aim higher.
External use is completely fine, but once again there are better choices of plants. For athletic level of stress, after a complete workout, your body being inflamed and you cannot even hold a cup properly without pain, yes you can use it. Make use of it but not habitually, only specific and with real purpose. You have to be genuine towards yourself.
Yes the body needs sustenance, this can be a factor of carrying towards your body, both by treatment or by specific use and timing. But the main aspects of this to be understood are: 1. The actual help is more on the side of perception, the pain and inflammation is still there, but the chemicals block/lessens the information of it in your brain. (almost all medicine does this in one way or another). 2. Without real illness, your chemical levels of serotonin, dopamine etc are at a normal level, when you are ill they are not. If you use this you interfere with this directly in a negative way.
Used habitually, the benefits are overwhelmed by the adverse effects and all in all, what true benefits? CBD, CBG ETC. all are of the same branch and approximal biding. It is stated that not being psychotropic or whatever bullshit ( ie. not a recreational drug in minds of the people) is safe. It is not, and isolating the compounds does more damage.
The biddings of these chemicals in the brain, the place and system of it, the cannabinoid system, is very important and sensitive. Both when advancing and for health oriented actions, one should be very careful with this. This is where the heart communicates with the brain.
Yes for some illnesses, when the opioid use is replaced by this, when there's no direct good drug, it is extraordinary and this needs sustenance and promotion.
But the lie presented to this is that of SLEEP and that of COMFORT (when there's no actual need therefore as a semi -recreational drug ).
Oil is for treatment. For skin, if you want to ingest, prepare hemp tea. NOT "CBD TEA". Real hemp buds, a lot of online stores have it. Do not boil the water (90 degrees is fine), and also put some fat so the compounds enter the fat thus the water. Take a few sips and that's it. It is not for habitual use, mainly as an excess of yin, stimulant and refresher. Your intestines' will be cleansed, you'll sleep deep and that's about it. Be sure the THC is under 0.3 or 4., and do not boil it neither do anything else. ( you run the risk to decarboxylate and destroy the compounds).
I have experienced with this due to being obliged to care for another and study/administer a lot of things. I have tried and studied all ways of this, oil, isolates, full spectrum, hemp, weed, everything. The safest approach is that of the hemp tea, not habitually, and with real purpose.
If you have the knowledge of a nootropic, piracetam, isolate CBD is is basically that lessened as effect on body. No one should waste money on isolate cannabis. CBD makes you insensitive to energy, boxed in, apathic.
Hemp tea can also help with a flu, cold. etc. More than this, again, I do not honestly see any real benefits. So in conclusion, if you want to experiment safely, use the tea, don't waste money and health on isolated oils.
For the rest of the people, not SS, I am more open and lenient. I can actually encourage cannabis treatment, but not in the way that it is portrayed and perceived by the world ie. recreational drug. Medicine is medicine and should be treated as such.
