Subject: RE: I'll just tell you what I've heard.


My neighbor is a horse vet, she explained to me that she has about four different drugs to treat horse muscle and joint conditions. Some horses respond to one drug but not the other three. Some horses didn't respond to any of the four. A few years ago she started experimenting with CBD oil. She said it was amazing. An old arthritic horse that could barely move was suddenly prancing around like four year old. Horses that didn't respond to any of her other drugs, responded dramatically to CBD. She's convinced that it's the real thing.
The trouble is, the yield of CBD oil is typically low. It takes a lot of hemp to produce very much. In order to make hemp a viable crop, you need to use the hemp fiber for something else. Not only that, hemp fiber is very strong so it makes it hard to harvest.
I'm not going to grow hemp but that doesn't mean that somebody shouldn't.
