I know this is likely a sensitive subject since it falls into the Medical Marijuana category and most people don't live in States where that is legal... kindly looking forward to any comments or info any of you have had with it or maybe "friends" of yours have had with it... feel free to post or to DM me... thank you
Lucky for you, I do live in a state that has legalized medical MJ. To answer your question...that depends on if you really mean hemp oil - or if you mean THC-infused oil...Hemp oil has very little THC in it...but the other does. My massage therapist just started using the real stuff as massage oil...and it is unbelievable! it is one of the few things that takes my pain/sensitivity on my foot completely away. AND seriously makes for the best massage ever. It doesn't make you hi per-se...but rather relaxes your muscles and provides great pain relief. Also of note, I have been testing myself regularly - and it does not show up as positive on urinalysis. Not sure if that is because it is not ingested (and thus not metabolized) or if very little gets absorbed, and the effect is more local.

If you want any more info, please send me a pm..
