Thanks. What does CBD stand for? Is the oil form readily available and do you need a prescription for it? I was interested to hear about the potential for use by MS patients. I know several of them who would simply never, ever smoke pot (or smoke anything else either).
And we had a real dilemma a couple of years ago. My brother who was a mentally-disabled dependent adult died of cancer. At one point it was suggested that maybe medical marijuana would be useful as part of his comfort measures. We had no clue how to to get him to smoke it and no other delivery method was suggested. Blessedly, he was kept very comfortable with conventional pain meds but we would have like to be able to explore options had they become required.
It's just the abbreviation for cannabidiol. Here's some general info on legality: https://www.leafly.com/news/politics/cbd-oil-legal-depends-ask
And here's some info about the individual state regulations about the substance mentioned in the first article: https://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=006473
