Actually the CBD rubs that work the best seem to be the ones that are most like Tiger Balm. Perhaps those folks don't like competition?

I know a guy who puts tiger balm on rolling papers. He said as he's gotten older, it makes his joints roll better.

Nanny State: "CBD may be harmless, but it's made from demon weed, and that makes us uncomfortable. Instead, why don't you relax with a nice pack of cigarettes and have a glass of whisky - because you dying before you can retire makes us giddy with financial delight!"

They should probably ban poppy seed bagels too.

The fDA is still fine with acetaminophen though, including using it to make sure that taking too much codeine will kill you.

Good old Chinese medicine, making animals extinct for fake erection pills since 1033.

What did I miss about Tiger Balm?

I just bought it for the first time due to back pain... I'm getting older and now "Everything" hurts...

I know Tiger Balm is magical because when I take the lid off, I can hear the magic ingredients sizzling inside of the lid.

I have some...it lasts for 20 years because it's like "break glass in case of war" use only.

There's definitely a billionaire led putsch on to make CBD appear twice as deadly as fentanyl. Don't let governments that tell you Covid builds character tell you what else to put in your body.

Maybe you should read the links you post before you post them?

"As far as I know, there have not been an influx of cases of healthy adults taking retail products and having acute liver toxicity,"

Here's where that particular concern comes from: While using the FDA-approved Epidiolex (a highly purified form of CBD), some children developed problems with their liver" [...] But a 2020 study that analyzed 12 previous clinical trials comprising 800 participants notes that liver issues occur in kids taking both Epidiolex and another anti-epilepsy drug, one that is known to cause liver enzyme elevations. "CBD can cause some liver function elevations," explains Kaufmann, "But it's almost always associated with the taking of other drugs."

The article doesn't support your assertion.

I don't know if I have looked at someone in such a lovingly way since the first time a sweet person smeared a light finger of Tiger Balm across my forehead.  I was tripping, of course.
