It screams of a ‘study’ that somebody was lucky enough to have funded (I’m mean seriously, THIS got funded?) - they HAD to have some ‘new’ angle to the results...something about ‘consistent’. OK lol.
...in reality...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...talk about preaching to the choir.
25-50 mg of CBD no help? To me it is. But the “starter” 10 mg dose they often advocate would be insufficient. FWIW, I purchase 2 ounce bottles of “extra-strength” coconut oil formulation for about $40. One dose for me is around 2/3 of a dropper. 1500 mg total CBD in the bottle.
Alcohol is actually a pretty inferior painkiller since its mode of action is general anesthetic sedation rather than interrupting pain centers the way opioids do, and at doses to be effective is quite toxic.

In other words it’s a cute article, but absolute medical nonsense.
Great minds think alike.
I disagree. I described my pain while driving home tonight. It was excruciating. I can barely feel it now after three small-medium sized martinis. It’s highly effective and, if you are in agony and you can’t get narcotic analgesics, it’s a darn fine alternative. It definitely works.
Without question. Aches and pains can be relieved with Scotch.
Doubtful. Wish I’d bought a few in the ‘80s.
Where are you ordering from? I’m using green roads 50mg/ml at about $100/30ml and I would love to find a source for something stronger/cheaper. 50mg/ml definitely does something but I see it as more of an adjunctive for the Tylenol, Motrin and and alcohol. I’m wondering if 400-800 mg/ml is a more therapeutic dose.
I can relate to that situation. Before I became a Correctional Officer for NY State in 1980, I worked as a Safety Officer at a NY State psych center for about six months. We were regularly called to the units when the staff couldn't restrain a patient who was acting-out. We'd also have to respond to the area hospital to transport drunks who were medically admitted to the alcohol unit overnight. That was always fun. I took the job with Corrections because I figured if I was going to have to restrain people, with the possibility of getting hurt, I might as well take the higher-paying job.
I have had problems over the years with a herniated lumbar disc causing back spasms. Alcohol was more effective than OTC pain medications, by far, and seemed to work better as a muscle relaxer than what the doctor provided (methcarbamol, IIRC). You want to be very careful about mixing alcohol with medications, though, even OTC stuff.
Interesting study my VA doc told me about CBD, as a lot of Vets use it to control chronic pain.
Well it seems CBD oil has an ill effect on the liver as much as drinking hard alcohol does.
One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer
Swansonvitamins.com just had my 2 oz bottles on closeout, mint flavor, for $22, bought 4. Far cheaper than other suppliers. Just checked — Now it is $31.49 and free ship for probably two or more.
Don’t drink and take Tylenol at the same time, serious liver damage can result.
yeah, I wouldn’t mix alcohol and narcotics and/or benzodiazepines...well maybe a shot or two to potentiate an Ultram but, me personally, not with anything stronger and I’ve never had anything stronger than an Ultram which, I found to be a very effective pain medication actually... especially with a shot or two of 80 proof. No doctor would ever recommend that and neither am I but in all honesty the alcohol definitely made it more effective. I’d say it turned 1 tablet into almost 2 tablets.
people over 50 facing major surgery's should be taking human growth hormone (HGH) to speed healing post surgery but it isn't commonly done because sports purists will not have it. Here is the source:

I would have to take 10X the amount I do to get the mice equivalent that produced the liver enlargement. And 30X to get toxicity. And humans might or might not manifest the same vulnerability. Don’t believe everything you hear in a Dr. office.
