Lepplady, thank you. I know you gave me this info before. I read the article, and I will do some more research on this I promise, but this is not something that I really considered before. According to the article, it's still being studied and they are looking at clinical trials. I noticed the date on the article as only October this year. Right now I wouldn't have any idea who I would see, where this product can be obtained, how easily, what the cost is etc. I know you care, and this is something that you are more than passionate about. Anyone can see that, I think.
The reason you won't find many studies is because the plant is still classified as illegal. As long as it remains illegal at the federal level, no real testing can be done. That's the catch. But there's LOADS of anecdotal research where people have treated themselves with the oil and been healed.
Unfortunately, there's no specialist you can go and see. There just aren't. There are only people like me who are dedicated to spreading information far and wide so as many people as possible can hear it and heal themselves.
As for where to get the oil, the best way is to make it. That way, whoever's taking it knows exactly what's in it and that it's safe. There are predators out there that will take your money and send you an inadequate product. There are legitimate places to get it, don't get me wrong, but be careful.
The cost can vary. If a person chooses to grow their own, seeds can be bought on the internet for a price. A good Indica can cost a hundred bucks and up for 5 seeds and be delivered anywhere. Grow time can be as short as 6-12 weeks. And making the oil is easy as it gets.
The first thing to remember is that hemp SEED oil is not the oil you want. It's healthy and all that, but does not contain the essential oil that will cure you. It's a whole different thing.
Make it:
It's easiest if a person lives in a legal state like Colorado, or knows somebody there. The oil (or the plant) are legal to buy. The problem is getting it to non-legal states.
If at all possible, I'd suggest a visit to a legal state. Preferably by car.
As ever, I'm here to answer any questions anybody's got. Just PM me and I'm happy to help.
