May have to get some for Tony.  Heck, might work for my aching knees.

I heard that!  When I squat down to empty things it sounds like fireworks inside.  Just sitting down slowly moving my knee joints it sounds like a squeaky swing.

I wonder why they're marketing it as a moisturizer instead of a pain reliever.  Seems to me they'd be better off promoting it as the latter of the two.  How would anybody be aware of its healthful benefits otherwise?

Hempz is a more reliable substance than anything available at a dispensary (in states that allow them).  I've been giving CBD in pill form to Dave at bed time, as  some time ago I saw a news story about a woman with dementia who didn't even recognize her own kids, and after trying everything conventional and being written off by medical professionals as a lost cause, daily doses of CBD returned her to being entirely lucid and independent.

The problem I'm having is twofold:  The pills are not consistently available, and even though I buy the 30:1 when I can find it (the highest ratio I've seen, which indicates negligible amounts of THC), sometimes I have reason to think they're making Dave a little loopy.  Since he's already impaired from his first major stroke and two smaller ones, it's hard to be sure.  Smoking actual pot with high levels of THC impairs his already compromised motor skills so much that he has to be in a wheel chair.  I also don't know how much time needs to be allowed before expecting any improvements with CBD.  It's quite possible that nothing will help, but for me -- and Dave -- it's worth a try. 

If only I could get the same brand and ratio each time I visit the dispensary, I'd be better able to judge effectiveness.  This is something that needs to be addressed, but until the FDA is allowed get involved, it's going to remain a crap shoot.

One of these days when I don't have to go anywhere or do much at home, I think I'll take one of these pills during the day and see if I notice any side effects.

Thanks for the info, Tom, I will look for this at Costco next week.  

I've been taking CBD (water soluble) for several months now and I have to say, it does work to relieve some joint pain in my hands and has lessened the ice-cracking (perfect description) sensation in my knees.  I've been pretty impressed so far, even let myself run out after the first month only to notice with a day or so that it did indeed work.  If not the miracle cure for every ailment, it does have some benefit.
