I wouldn't recommend it at all if you are n the least bit fearful. I've always been bold in my use of substances and was willing to try anything when I was basically disabled by RA pain.
Please talk to your doctor and ensure that CBD is high quality.
Praying for you.

Hello! I live in NYS and have a medical cannabis card. I've used CBD and received relief. I'm a big fan of THC (the psychoactive ingredient in pot) as I feel it also works on the anxiety and depression that is caused by pain.
You need to get high quality products, and in 2019 Young Living will be selling a superior non THC oil that I would suggest for you.
You can get some good CBD oils now in legal states, but YL will have a high quality CBD oil soon (Jan. 2019) and it will be available legally everywhere.
Please consider adding me to your RA team and we can keep in touch.
Have a great Sunday!

Isospectra makes a Sports Rub that is a combination of 200mg CBD, menthol and lidocaine, I am told it works wonders.

I am taking CBD oil. I take it internally though. I've been taking it for 3 weeks now. I have noticed that I am not as exhausted at the end of the day like I used to be and I laugh more. As far as the pain, I haven't noticed a difference yet. The longer you are on it the more effects you will notice. At least that is what I was told. I have not put it on topically though. Not sure if that would do anything or not. Hope this was helpful.
