Oh, THAT is what those signs mean.
Steve Martin:
Well… let me say one thing: I twisted my ankle this morning, and I was in quite a bit of pain… so I went to the doctor, and I asked him to give me some pain pills. And he didn’t want to do it, but I talked him into it. So he gave me some pills — and I shouldn’t have done this, but I took some about an hour before the show tonight, and right now… I am high… as a KITE! [ audience cheers ] I mean, it is unbelievable! And I would NEVER say this to you people, but, in this case: if you EVER get a chance, to take these drugs… DO IT! They’re called… [ he glances from side-to-side cautiously ] Placebos! I mean, I’m thinking that right now I have NO idea where I am at all! It is WILD! Placebo!
3 herniated disks currently. OUCH!
My wife bought my a couple of bottles of them as I hate percocet and other pain relievers. For some they help. I more than maxed the dosage over time, was moderate in the beginning. Never been into the wacky weed, just makes you hungry, then tiered the next day. What a waste of time!
The CBD did nothing for pain relief, in my situation, It may for some.
Then I ran into a Yoga instructor, she gave me some exercises to do. G-d dang!! The disks are not 100% in yet, but appear to be close. Crossing my fingers and praying, still have to support all of the kids that keep showing up.
Blessings!
Is she doing it for Free?
Then there’s that.

Lol!
If your state has medical MJ it’s worth talking to your doctor about. Rendering the properties into butter is easy. With that you can made cookies etc which work wonders. As a cancer patient it kept me from having to take a bunch of pharmaceuticals for pain, nausea, and insomnia.
I have discovered that a CBD pill from Amazon will drop my blood pressure 20 points in about ten minutes.
Doesn’t seem to do anything for pain, but if one gets stressed from work and doesn’t want to take extra BP medicine, a CBD pill does the trick.
I tried it for my back pain. Reputable company. Might as well have drank a glass of water. I think most of the CBD claims are bunk.
So sick of 2 things: marijuana, and quack paranoia-driven “health” products.
Combine them and again we have a snake-oil situation of everyone believing anything related to marijuana is a cure-all that evil big pharmacist trying to suppress. Never mind it is not regulated or proven, it is still foolishness thinking it will solve everything. But that is why MJ stuff is popping up EVERYwhere...people will believe anything and buy it.
Obviously we have never moved beyond the gullibility of the 1800s.
CBD is the latest version of Snake Oil.
It has been shown to be extremely effective as separating customers from their money...
Warning : may further reduce logical reasoning and increase delusional perceptions in individuals suffering from liberal mental disorder.
MD ping since this is BAL.
I’ve called it snake oil, too. It’s a money scam. Nothing more.
Yep, tried turmeric. Didn’t do a thing.
our oncologist vet recommended CBD oil for our pup Maxie who has cutaneous lymphoma it goes by the weight of the dog didn’t notice any difference only thing that helps are steroids since his kind of cancer produces itchy lesions on the skin..my aunt is taking some now for her back pain so far no improvement
Or gas station sushi.
I had lower back pain.
Chronic, but low level. Went to a chiropract0r. I went in a strong skeptic. I came out without pain, like a switch had been turned off.
Then I found doing crunches helped... a lot.
Back pain in the middle of then night, get up, do 30 crunches, back pain go away, back to sleep.
I also found the adjustable air mattress and memory foam combination helped significantly.
Between those three.., Chiropractor, crunches, and air mattress/memory foam, lower back pain has been mostly a memory for 10 years.

It was discovered 80 years ago. Where have you been?
No offense, but those figures are statistically insignificant. My BP varies ALOT per many doc visits from a normal range in the 1teens/70s up to 130/80s.
