By Bethany Ruby Rose-
Following Friday’s announcement from the Home Office about Cannabis derived medicines being made legal to prescribe, it is worth hailing the news as a long awaited one with multiple benefits. I have had a lot of personal experience with CBD oils and how they have helped me.
The oil I use is called Improve Me and it’s the 250mg 10ml dripper bottle. I have used it for 8 months.
People who know me are aware that I suffer with my hands. The doctors currently think it’s a neurological issue that’s been brought on by an unfortunate car crash I had four year ago. I was very distressed when I began experiencing tremors in my hands and nerve damage. As a young lady of 24, it was very heart breaking. Doctors say it is possibly a type of arthritis causing the pain, but they are still unsure. – I await the more tests to ascertain the facts medically.
Repetitive strain injuries and tremors in my hands sometimes make it very difficult to perform menial tasks such as picking up small objects. The pain can also be unbearable, as often these tremors cause my hands to cramp up.

RIGHT DIRECTION
The announcement about the legalisation of cannabis oils by the home secretary on Friday is in fact a step in the right direction. Hopefully it may even pave the way for cannabis being legalised in the UK as the enormous health benefits seem to outweigh any potential side effects. Many Cannabis users will feel the same way and welcome the new change of law. My position here is not to advocate for the legalisation of cannabis for purely recreational purposes, as I this is a matter for Parliament to decide on its legislation. Cannabis used for recreational purposes can be abused, but there are many who would argue that they don’t abuse it and should therefore be afforded the right to use it responsibly, especially given its medical benefits.
This is a related but separate argument that may follow the legalisation of medical cannabis. However, the announcement that cannabis medicine is to be legalised has been long overdue.My opinion on the matter comes from place of understanding and ongoing personal experience. In November 2017, I was having a particularly bad day with my tremors and visibly frustrated as I tried to hold my cup of tea still and avoid spilling it over my friend’s carpet. She could see I was in pain and that I was struggling. It was then that the lovely friend offered me some of her CBD oil. She had a 250mg 10ml dripper bottle. I was sceptical to say the least but the pain motivated me to accept her offer and try it. What did I have to lose after all? After about 20-30 minutes, my tremors had ceased and the pain was subsiding considerably. Needless to say, I haven’t looked back.

Ever since then, I have ensured access to my own 250mg 10ml dripper bottle handy for the unpleasant event of a flare up. In those scenarios, I place a couple of drops under my tongue and let it sit there for a short while before finally swallowing it. I am pleased to say, in the last 8 months, not only has it helped eradicate the awful tremors, it has also helps diminish the chronic pain I feel when they occur. It has continually proven very useful in relieving my anxiety as well. I have had no unpleasant side effects and feel great taking it. I am currently considering getting the CBD liquids for my Vape as I have heard many positive reports.
Following my personal success with CBD oils, I would urge people to be more open minded about Cannabis derived health products and even making Cannabis legal. Its helping people all around the world, including the UK.
It is important to note that CBD oils do not contain Tetrahydrocannabinol (TCH). TCH is responsible for the infamous ‘High’ people associate Cannabis with. CBD and TCH are types of Cannabinoids, just two of the 104 chemical compounds found in the Marijuana plant. Unlike TCH, CBD is not a psychoactive and will not give you this traditionally associated ‘High’.
