I'm sorry but you are flat out wrong pharmacology wise. It may be something else in the strain that was provoking the pain(I highly doubt it), such as a terpine but CBD isn't going to cause pain.I found it very frustrating dealing with these so-called cannabis doctors that know very little about cannabis. I have 2 very badly herniated discs that are pushing on my sciatic nerve it makes it almost unbearable to walk at times. When my sciatica first started I was growing/medicating a CBD strain by TGA genetics named Pennywise, it is a 1:1 thc/cbd ratio. Well to my surprise my sciatic nerve pain didn't get better but got way worse !!!
I did a bunch of research and came to find out that CBD stimulates nerves , which can be good if you suffer from seizures or other neurological disorders but not a pinched nerve !! Well I proceeded to tell this story to my cannabis Doctor Who still after all of that recommended that I use a very high-cbd cannabis strain !! I said "I don't think you're hearing me I told you that CBD makes my pain way worse"
She told me that her research said CBD was good for all types of pain and that she was the doctor . ....wtf people !!!
Thc also promotes nerve growth. Cannabinoids are neuroprotective antioxidants. Thc is more indicated in neurogenesis as opposed to CBD .
Also CBD reduces the psychotropic effects of thc as its an anti psychotic. That means it SLOWS STUFF DOWN (gross oversimplification)
I can buy that stuff irritated things but to nitpick at the details don't blame CBD.
It's probably the safest cannabinoid to use in therapeautic application
It's my job to know pain science, and what you're saying makes zero sense.
Correlation is not causation. Just because your pain got worse at the same time as you used the herb does not mean the herb caused that.
