Get Off Pain Meds for Good (Here’s How)

It’s amazing how fast you can become a slave to your pain medications.
You’re watching the clock, literally counting the minutes until you can take the next dose.
That’s no way to live… especially when highly-addictive pain drugs are killing thousands of people.
But here’s the good news – there’s a miracle oil that’s helping people all around the world quit their pain meds forever.
And you could be next.
A recent large survey found that almost half of cannabidiol (CBD) users were able to stop using their prescription medications.
CBD is one of over hundreds of active compounds found in cannabis (marijuana).
At this point, you might be thinking “Marijuana? I don’t want to get high.”
And here’s the good news: CBD doesn’t get you high.
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the ingredient in marijuana that changes the way you think. CBD is the ingredient that has many healing properties.
Modern CBD oil has almost no THC (usually less than one-third of a percent).
Because it contains less than 1 percent THC, you can buy CBD oil almost anywhere.
The most common reasons people used CBD are to treat insomnia, depression, anxiety, and joint pain.
CBD oil has been found to be effective for:
- Seizures
- Pain and inflammation
- Anxiety
- Sleep and mood
- Cancer
- Diabetes
- Cardiovascular health
- Bone health
And in the recent study, 42% percent of CBD users said they had stopped using medications (like Tylenol pain relievers or prescription drugs like Vicodin) and had switched to using CBD oil instead.
And 80% said they found CBD products to be “very or extremely effective.”
That’s exciting news, especially in this country where we have an epidemic of people becoming addicted to (and dying from) their pain drugs.
CBD oils offer people a natural way to say goodbye to addictive and harmful medications AND get the pain relief they’ve been looking for.
Just make sure you always, always, ALWAYS work with your doctor when quitting a pain drug. Quitting some drugs cold turkey can cause serious health issues – you need to be weaned off the meds properly, with a doctor’s help.
Health and Happiness,
