You can have Calvin try acupuncture first without using the herbs to see if this will help him.

No one knows how long the FDA will let that go on - probably until big pharma gets upset that too many people are using it to replace their drugs. So far I've seen people replace both opioids and benzos with hemp CBD, without any withdrawal effects. For now it's working well for many, but not all of the patients who try it. One 6yo with Dravet syndrome is at approx 3 weeks seizure-free with 125mg of the CBD hemp oil daily with 2.5mg marinol qHS. It's not technically organic, but the beauty of hemp (don't get me started) is that it grows without fertilizer or pesticides and actually enriches the soil. The tops are used for seed, and now medicine, while the stalks are used for fiber and biomass. Incredible stuff. In a rational society, however, it wouldn't make any sense to extract cannabinoids from hemp. The medical cannabis plants simply produce so much more of it. The whole hemp CBD industry is likely going to grow fast and then disappear, either because the FDA gets involved or because medical cannabis becomes more legal and accessible.<br /><br />so, it seems it still could be a liability in terms of supply.<br /><br />xoxoChristy Shakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00106761191160700997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895440453335552117.post-3326142048988799942013-10-25T08:43:48.303-04:002013-10-25T08:43:48.303-04:00With hemp oil, there isn't the same horrible r...With hemp oil, there isn't the same horrible risk of it suddenly not being available, right?
