I tried Hope Botanicals for 30 days, and then Plantacea because it was on sale for the next 60 days. After using it for 90 days, I felt there was not enough evidence to continue use. I saw no difference.

I use the Hempworx brand on myself. Has helped me stay seizure free for about 2 months now. I know several people around me use the Plantacea on their horses tho and love it.

I started personally using the Hope Botanicals for myself & my one PSSM2/PX mare over a year ago & was sold on their products.  Too many of the companies do NOT release any 3rd party lab testing on their products so no way to prove what they claim is true.  Hope Botanicals does.  NO added crap, all hemp grown in the US in organic methods & finished products production here in the US.  You can't buy stronger.  I am Jenna's ONLY rep so no MLM mark up, or dealer competition.  She offers the BHW10 code for BHW 10% discount on any products.  For myself, I use the gel caps & the liniment (it's under the horse products but this stuff WORKS - no "hot" temps to it, it just takes the pain away NOW.)  For my 30  year old & the PX mare, they get the suggested 1 TB, twice a day.  If a company is telling you that a teaspoon works, keep in mind that dose works for very few (it's a selling "trick" to make you think it's cheaper/lasts longer).  I could probably decrease both my girls' doses at this point, but not interested in taking any chances - the 30 year old now runs & bucks in the pasture w/the herd & the P2/PX mare has not had any muscle episodes or other painful symptoms of that horrible disease since being on these.  

Do keep in mind that not all companies products are created equal.  MUCH of it is grown & lots processed overseas & they do not follow any kind of regs.  MANY are being private lab tested & show chemicals in them, OR there is one that advertises as CBD for horses & it has NO CBD in it at all.  Do your homework if you are going to try any of them. 

what the heck is this   I HAVE HEARD OF IT BUT WHAT IS IT

CBD is made from the Hemp plant.  There are tons of companies jumping on the bandwagon now so you really have to be careful.  Good companies will have their 3rd party lab testing available.  

It helps with pain, with inflammation, and anxiety to name a few.  Some companies have a considerable amount of THC in their products, some don't.  Some have chemicals in theirs (may not add chemicals BUT their growing  & processing methods contain the chemicals that end up in the final product).  Some have fillers.  Some advertise as being CBD but have NO CBD in them.  

I personally use it for pain.  I have 2 knees that are bone on bone & would get little sleep at night due to the aching pain.  After starting the gel caps, taking one at night, (even with already being on strong prescription anti inflammatory drugs that weren't helping), I started sleeping GOOD.  They now have a liniment under the horse section that is GREAT.  I love it, use it most days.  (a little goes a long way).  My 94 year old mom fell & broke her hip Easter of 2018 & when they put the dang rod in, they put it against a nerve & she has horrible pain.  (that knee is powder & very painful too).  She can't take strong pain pills.  She has tried all kinds of things, including medical marijuana & nothing has helped.  (the pot may have helped but it made her dizzy so NOT a good thing for a 94  year old on a walker).  I took the liniment back w/me in April when I visited & she LOVES it - it's the ONLY thing that stops her pain.   She puts some on 2 or 3 times a day/night & can sleep & feels so much better.  My equine dentist ordered 2 bottles of it & the gel caps after trying it when he was here - his shoulders kill him after doing teeth for close to 30 years.  These are just a couple of personal success stories.  The company I rep for is Hope Botanicals (https://hopebotanicals.com ) and we do a 10% discount with the code BHW10.  LOTS Of info on the webpage too. (and I mentioned the horse products used above in my other post)

I started my journey with CBD on February - Hempworx.. I though what the heck it has a 60 day money back guarantee.  I was a big skeptic and thought yeah we will see.

 Hempworx has the hemp seal of approval, only 13 companies do, out of 22,000 that applied.   Hempworx and the farm that our hemp is grown at (Kentucky)  has this seal of approval.. both companies are FDA compliant.

  It is 3rd party tested.  Each lot on the back of your bottle has a number and you can go to our site and see the test results...every bottle.  Ours has only 2-3 ingredients - Co2 extracted process, we use the whole hemp plant, seed oil, cbd and natural flavoring - peppermint,  cinnamon or natural.

so anyway back to my journey - I have asthma  and since using it in Feb which is when i truly need my inhaler cold air really bother me and heavy humid air... I was also kidding out does at the time... I have not used my inhaler since Febraury.  I also don't  have brain fog, It is nice to think clearly, I sleep very good, and I have energy.  

Yesterday I saw it worked on a barrel horse that was a little anxious - he was give 1/2 cc, I beleive,  and he immediately came down and was a gentleman in the holding pen.  This was amazing to me.

Countless people coming up to our booth this weekend saying how it has helped them...

Also a horse that had/has epm the owner was told to put him down a year ago...she refused.  This was his 22nd run yesterday and he is on a maintence program with the hempworx oil.   She is very knowledgeable on CBD oil, and how it works with horses and she is my mentor.  She is very wise.  She has studied this for 2 years.  If you did not know what she had been dealing with and looking at him you would never had guess it.  he has the beautiful blood bay color and slicked off and she placed on him yesterday, he is the epitome of health.  

I’ve had some really great results with equine omega gold cbd pellets on my 22 year old that I’ve been legging up. Obviously at that age he’s got some arthritis and movement wise this is the best I’ve seen/felt him in years. Also, he’s a pretty anxious horse and I’ve noticed some changes with him handling scary things better than he normally does. It didn’t have a big an effect as I hoped for but we’ll see, I’ve yet to haul him to a race which is where he’s the most anxious. The Eog cbd is 110 mg per serving (tablespoon) I give him one tablespoon once a day since I board and can’t be out there twice a day. 

thanks  me being paralized  i never really know if it real pain or fake pain kinda like amputee   foot scrating and not there

If used on a person it will it show up on a drug test? I assume not since they don’t have THC but my husband wants to try it but won’t because he is 6 years away from retirement and can’t afford to make any mistakes. 

"Some" companies advertise no THC but still have the small amount that does show up in drug testing.  If you are interested, I can find out if ours does - it's considered 0% THC in it, but don't want to tell you something that is not true.

That's from nerves firing, right?  Like a phantom pain?  In that case, I don't know that it would bring you relief.  The liniment does work great for my mom on her pain from the rod in her leg pressing on the nerve, but that is a completely different ballgame.

Would you, please. He has ulcerative colitis and on top of that his joints get really stiff and painful after he sits for awhile. I would greatly appreciate it. 

I've always gotten migraines and have found NOTHING that will help.  I decided to try Hempworx in January when I had a migraine for a week straight.  My sister in law had told me about it but I kinda shrugged it off. finally I gave in and thought heck it can't hurt.  I have used it since mid January until now and I have had 2 migraines (which I use to get weekly) and they have went away much quicker and easier, I have had a few just regular headaches but not near the pain I did have and they go away quickly, where before they would linger on for days.  I did run out and didn't take any for a week, thought I'd see what happened and I had a headache on and off that entire week and one of the two migraines I've had was during that week.  I'm a BIG believer in it!

I have a friend with this issue. and she is taking the NRF2 or Protandim for it and says it helps her immensly. Not super expensive to give that a try for a month or 2 if he is worried about the CBD. I have the same issue with my husband. He has back issues and I would love for him to try the CBD since the doctors are not helping. But he can get drug tested at anytime and we can't take that risk. No way. 

GLP, and AJS    - HEmpworx has a 500 or 750 THC CBD oil that does not test.  My husband has a cdl and this is what he uses...

If you are interested I will  pm you my link.... 

Hempworx has a 60 day money back guarantee

3rd party tested. - every lot is tested and test results are available on our website

Hemp seal of approval -  only 13 companies have this seal of approval out of 22,000

yes, do your homework it is amazaing the junk that is being sold and called CBD oil... (fillers: distilled water, coconut water, coconut oil).... your product

should only have 2-3 ingridents  - we use the whole hemp plant,  C0 2 process,  hemp seed oil (carrier oil)  cbd and any natural flavoring such as in ours cinnamon or peppermint. 

I was pretty sure on it but wanted to be positive - I know it's considered 0% THC but I know that some still have a minute amount in it that will test.  This was her response when I told her your situation:

"It won’t test at all. The 3rd party labs say undetectable when tested. Plus we only buy raw product that has a lab showing undetectable levels."

ALL of our CBD products are made from Hemp grown and processed in the USA with organic methods so NO chemicals in it at all, neither from the growers spraying plants to any process used on it.  And Hope Botanicals is not an MLM company - I am the ONLY one who works for her as a rep.  

GLP I hope that helps!  

Thank you, I will get him to read this tomorrow evening when he gets in. Thank you so much for asking for me!

I have tried it with an open mind and have found no benefit!!!

I tried Neurogan and Hope Botanicals. Both for 2-3 months each. Did not see any difference from either of them. My mom swears by the Hope Botanicals for people though.

That is what a friend of mine said.........

The different brands definitely are not created equal, so that makes a huge difference.  Plus, as in everything else, what works for one, might not work for another.  

Our liniment gel is fast becoming one of my favorite of the products.  My equine dentist is now out of pain in his shoulders (he's taking the soft gels too) and our farrier was shocked how the pain in his back is gone when he uses the liniment.  

It seem that in order to really get a benefit from CBD oil you need to be a CBD oil distributor. It works like there's no tomorrow if you sell it.

I've been using CBD capsules for the last few weeks for my knee and back, and I really think there is something to it, and it really helps me sleep so much better, its being made not to far from me and this person just opened up a shop here in Seguin. Like RockyRoad was saying I think it really depends on who you buy it from, and NO I dont sell it, just like it.  

In seriousness, I think it helps me a little. I started using it last Oct on the recomendation of my brother. He's a disabled coal miner and swears by the relief he's gotten from the oil. He also uses the linament. The one we use is made locally and is certified to have 0% THC. Maybe it would work better if it had some?

It's never been the help for me that he claims. In fact, I thought it dodn't work at all. When I ran out a couple months ago I stopped taking it. I didn't nothice any difference not taking it either. But a month or so after not taking it I had soreness in my knees when running. I run 4 miles 3 times a week. It wasn't terrible but I hadn't had it before in both knnes at the same time. So I bought another bottle. Now a month into taking it again I'm not having that knee soreness when running. I'm not sure it's the oil and when this bottle is gone I'm stopping again. 

If the knee soreness comes back then I'll be convinced that it helps. 

I feel like there’s a lot of partial truth’s and things that need clarified.

1) Always find out where the oil is sourced from. The USA has very strict guidelines. Hemp producers must test the THC levels very frequently. The USA standard for THC levels is .3% or less. If the cultivated hemp crop tests above that, the entire crop is destroyed. There is no THC standard for oil sourced from China. China says there is, but I have never found what “it” is. Oil sourced from Europe...Sweden allows 6% THC. Italy 3%. Most of Europe is way above the USA standard. I had one company making horse products try to avoid telling me where the oil was sourced from. They told me the product was made in the USA. Great. But where is the oil sourced from. He finally admitted it came from Europe.

2) CBD is a cannaboid. It WILL have trace amounts of THC. Many people claim the product won’t test being at .3% or lower. This isn’t necessarily true. It really depends on how sensitive of a test the employer chooses to use. If they use an extremely sensitive test, you will test positive for THC.

3) Right now there is a big pharm company that is trying to get the FDA to give it sole rights to all CBD. If this happens, we can kiss CBD products goodbye. They are trying to do the same thing with certain herbs.

4) CBD is an oil. What works on some might not work on another since humans and animals are made up of mainly water. Water and oil don’t mix. It is truly a hit and miss. You also need to give it a solid 3 months to get into the system. The reason marijuana is so effective for pain management is because of the THC. In a nutshell, the THC acts as wheels to move the CBD around. CBD alone has a harder time helping the body heal because it lacks the THC wheels. So it takes time to work. 

I don't give it to my horses.  Might help if I read your entire post lol.  But anyway...

CBDfx is one I use for myself. Stumbled on a site cbdoilreview.org that rates them on various things, and looked at all the 5 star companies.  Ordered some gummies from Cbdfx to try first, not very expensive.  I slept a better without the morning hangover from melatonin or anything else I've tried.  Still not sure if I wanted to feel something different or did.  I want to try all the 5 star companies they list, so I just ordered some oil from Elixinol.  Sleep is about the same but I noticed being on the oil a week (which goes under the tongue to avoid the liver so I am told), I notice I don't wake with asthma symptoms like I usually do.  I can't say that it makes a noticeable difference in my life in times of stress or anxiety but will keep taking it and see if over time I can say now vs. then in other areas (breathing, sleep, etc.)

Did nothing, like NOTHING for our horse.

We used Hempworx.

am I reading it wrong or are all the ones they are claiming to be the "best ones" just the products that THEY sell?   

I've heard that from others too on Hempworx

The review site I posted just rounded up other companies products and put a rating to them based on various points.  They don't say they are all the best.  I don't care if they offer them, I was just looking for a single site to first read about it all without fumbling through the net myself one product and point at a time.  From there I went further into the 5 star products on other sites and the manufacturer's site.  

I can definitely say I sleep better and wake up awake.  :0)

And it has defintely had an affect on my asthma and the inflammation that triggers it.  I've only been on the oil a week but I haven't had any asthma meds in 3 days.  That's saying a lot with an inhaler, Advair and a nebulizer at least twice a day.  So far so good.  I did play with the dosage and 1 mL seems to do the trick. The oil tincture I bought was 300 mg in a 15 ml tincture.

edited because grammar :)  

Is THC ok for horses?

There's different forms of CBD.

Full Spectrum; has essentially all parts of the plant - CBD, terpenes, and up to .3% THC.

Broad Spectrum; has CBD and terpenes with zero THC.

Isolate; is simply CBD extracted from the plant with no terpenes and zero THC.

Full Spectrum may test in horses and people as there's trace amounts of THC (up to .3% legally). Broad Spectrum and Isolate will not test for THC as the THC isn't there, but it will still test for CBD. 

There's products out there in various forms for horses, from pellets to oils (tinctures), to rubs, liniments, etc. And same for people from gummies to, capsules, to oils, to salve's, etc.

Some horses do better on a Full Spectrum product as that tinge of THC works in synergy with the rest of the plant for a good result. Yet others may do better on Broad or Isolate. Depends on what you're trying to achieve and, as is the case in all mammals - every horse is different.

Among other things; sourcing is very important, lab testing is important, and so is the extraction process, with CO2 extraction being superior.

So if you tried CBD and it didn't do much, maybe you or your horse needed a different type.

Yes, I'm involved in the industry and you're welcome to message me with questions.

I have a horse that is watchy. Do you think it might help him to not be so reactive?  Also if using for that purpose does it need to be built up in his system or can you just use it right before riding in a new place

If the watchiness is anxiety based, I’ve seen it help quite a lot of those types of horses. And yes, you can give it a couple of hours before the event or travel and it will help. You may need to play with dosages to figure out what works best for that particular horse. 

Yes, THC works on their CB 1 recptors - which helps the brain and the nervous system.  THC works the same on us humans as we have CB1 recptors and CB2 recptors that works on our digestive system... works the same on our horses, dogs, cats... any animal that has a vertabrae...

I had such a good response from my senior dog using Plantacea that I will definately try it on my horse. I gave it to the dog for general aches and pains that old dogs get. I can not give him traditional pain meds. He seriously had the best result.

No idea if it will work for an anxious horse but we shall see...

Probably cannabis tincture will work the best, easy to dosage and to make. You can find easy to make tincture here: https://thcdetox.biz/blog/how-to-make-cannabis-tincture/

I don't remember the brand of the first type, but I saw no effect. The next

time I tried it, I used the kind Michelle McLeod reps. I gave that brand three tries. No effect.

I've been using a cbd cream for a couple years now. Some effect. My feet were only half as bad as they'd been. My daughter is in the CBD/THC world professionally. She makes her own CBD cream and brought me a little bit in October. 2 days into using it and my feet stopped hurting (maybe a 1 oo 10 whereas 3/4 oo 10 is normal for my feet and a bad day more like 8/9) as bad. I'm 6 weeks in with her cream and barely ever have a 1 oo 10 day. I can ride, shop, do whatever. I even went to both Lowes and Home Depot on the same day and wasn't sidelined for 2 days after! She explained the differences in CBD stuff. Since I don't work anymore I don't have to worry about testing clean, but she said unless I was using one of her containers in less than a week I should test negative.
