Members shared enthusiastic support for using medical marijuana and CBD for rheumatoid arthritis pain relief, with many reporting that CBD oil, capsules, and hemp salve work better than prescription medications like Vicodin. Several members offered practical guidance, including ordering CBD online (especially in regions where recreational marijuana stores lack medicinal options), purchasing affordable hemp oil on Amazon for $15 to $20, and understanding that CBD does not cause a high or trigger positive drug tests. A recurring theme was the frustration with cost and accessibility, as some members live in states where medical marijuana remains illegal, while others emphasized the importance of daily use for sustained relief and finding the right product through trial and error.

Hemp oil has helped me so much. You can get it on Amazon for $15 to $20. You will have quick results but you have to take it everyday or your symptoms will return.

Just started taking cbd 's and the salve. I will wait to offer my opinion until I have given it a fair trial. Just so u know cbd does not make u high and does not make you test positive on a drug test.

CBD works wonders for me. Been taking the oil and or the capsules for a long time now. The only problem is cost. But CBD works the best. Where I am, I can order online. We have legal marijuana now in Canada but they stores seem to focus on recreational far more than medicinal so it's hard to just pop in the store and pick something up. But there is a lot online.
