cbd salve hasnt seemed to help any of my PN foot tingling. 30 bucks a bottle... expected more.....

Low-dose cannabidiol (CBD) can be sold OTC in pharmacies around Australia from yesterday 1st February 2021 without prescription.

It's apparently low dose of no more than 150 milligrams per day. I have no idea how that translates.

It is not PBS at this stage so I have no idea of the price yet in my country. Vaping or topical cream products still need a prescription.

I will try some for my cancer/immunotherapy pain and other side effects at some time I imagine. I was probably eligible for a prescription for some time but I didn't really think about it. [I just read that our AMA isn't particularly happy with pharmacies being able to sell it OTC because they're concerned that pharmacists are not trained enough in its use and so some people who are already dealing with epilepsy, anxiety and other conditions will now not see their doctors as regularly as they need.]

This is actually an enormous milestone to see in my lifetime. I could go on but i won't.

The CBD oil Charlottes Web has changed my life. I have occipital nerve pain diagnosis on left face. This was initial reason for use along with symptoms I now know are like or are an aura for a migraine. I call it brain mush. I used to have it all day at times. Now only for short occasionally. I have had an application of the oil on my temple and forehead interrupt a worsening ocular migraine. Also it has improved my sleep and is amazing for spasms. Infantile spasms is one of the things is what is or soon will be medically approved for.. I was really desperate when I tried it as getting pain treatment in Iowa is near impossible. I literally learned acupuncture a short version with my former acupuncturist as one of several tools to manage my face and eye pain. It started at corner of left eye years ago. I trust the Stanley Brothers who developed Charlottes Web for Charlotte Figi. Her story is wonderful if you get a chance. Sculptor44

Great to read that it's helped you so much. I just read some info on the people you mentioned and learned a lot especially relating to terminology. Thanks for that.
I don't know what's going on here in my country after that announcement they made. I heard the next day that it'll take 6 to 12 months before anything is available OTC.
That link from the PN forum that Jomar posted higher up on the thread is worth reading too. Lots of information there.

I bought a 250mg bottle of CBD oil recently and I chose the more expensive stuff but it did nothing for me unfortunately. It is a good laxative however.

Welcome steeler.

CBD oil was a huge disappointment for me, so expensive and no noticeable relief from pain or anxiety. I do know people that have had positive results, however.

We use Indica gummies for better sleep, definitely works great.

I too tried CBD oil without any noticeable benefit.

This link might be useful for people unfamiliar with CBD and Indica etc

It's not legal here, unfortunately.

Hugs and respect to all

As for epilepsy, my understanding is that it mainly works on children with certain types of epilepsy. My epileptologist was willing to try it though but my insurance wouldn’t cover it except for a tablet without THc.
