Popular Post PMookie Posted July 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2019 Good stuff guys. To answer the question about if you should “test” CBD products, I’d have to say a big “no”. I’ve worked in the medical field for years, and drug testing is an extensive process that requires thousands of enrollees, a TON of money, and research departments that y’all don’t have. On average, from idea, to testing, to market, it takes a drug over 10 years to make it to the general public. A couple guys taking CBD drops wouldn’t qualify as a legit study.

Tarheelvolvo Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Second @PMookie on the CBD testing. Plus, the OTC stuff is so wildly unregulated you could get different bases (hemp vs actual MJ), strains inside those bases, and different potencies. Plus, considering that people's genetics are all unique, one person could be knocked on their rear by one drop and the other feels absolutely nothing. It's certainly an interesting topic, but best left to the pros to test. If you guys want to review some products, that's a different story, but again effects can vary wildly... skrupa15, JohnSmalls, GeekingGolf and 1 other 4 Quote In my Hoofer: G410 LST 10.5* - Kai'Li White 60 X-flex VRS Covert 3W 15* - Kuro Kage 65 S-flex T200 4-GW, DG X100 Tour Issue - Tester Glide 2.0 Stealth 54.12 SS & 58.10 SS Zing 2 LW - 60* Anser 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they could go out on the course with one of these products in their system and make some observations, but they'd be largely subjective in my opinion.

Kenny B Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 At my age I would love to be able to play golf pain-free, but that's a "pipe dream". However, I am not about to take something based on anecdotal information. When it's been fully tested and determined to be safe, maybe. But I feel that will be long after my playing days are over.

Of course in a tournament setting you'll need to check the rules. Absolutely - if headphones help you play better golf then by all means... at the end of the day it is about enjoying the game and playing your best...those 2 usually go hand-in-hand but there are days where you can still enjoy the game and not have your best.

Yeah, we are one of them and pot is legal too, but I seriously doubt pot would help anyone play better. But if it did, we all should probably be using it? Right? {I'm being sarcastic... sorry} I guess that is why it's just as illegal as listening to the music I stated above. I understand CBD oil is not pot; my wife purchased some in a jar that has the consistency of honey. I tried some on my shoulder but saw no effect. She hasn't seen any effect either.

JonMUSC08 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I dont they are actually going to conduct a TEST, but more of an opinion based review of what it is like to take CBD. Obviously everyone will react different to different things based on all sorts of body and health conditions. But if they say 'Hey i took CBD instead of Advil before a round and felt great and not anxious. Yall should check it out possibly.' I know NOTHING on CBD so some information is better than none.

When MGS test clubs/balls, etc, they can always say the data is sound, and they’ve gone to industry experts to keep improving it, and have what they can call “validated” information. With ANY medical supplement, or medication, MGS has no way of getting the same result that can be backed by data. MGS would be venturing into the realm of YouTube reviews, which in the last “No Putts Given” was not given a very positive review...

ga_pike Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) So I have severe inflammation in my hands that causes numbness. 2 days of CBD oil and the numbness is gone. Stop for about 3 days and it comes back. The stuff I'm using is 100% certified THC free (I'm not affiliated so I will not share the product name). There are good and not so good products out there. FWIW, my dad saw my results and decided to try it. He says his joints don't hurt anymore and he is able to move around more easily.

ncwoz Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Not trying to change the subject, although I see CBD seems to be quite the hot button issue... Just wanted to say I'm really glad to hear the team reiterating their mission to bring truth to the everyday golfer, particularly with the ball test. If somebody wants to "make" their own tour level ball that's fine; but saying it's gonna compare to a Titleist/Bridgestone/Srixon, well, frankly there's just going be differences, especially without the R&D capabilities. And for those of us who don't wanna blow through ProV1s, some Vice or Kirkland's or something similar is still probably the best all around go, especially for the price.

yungkory Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I've been consuming hemp-derived CBD since I joined the forums 2 years ago and have posted about it a couple of times. I don't think MGS can state, in 72 pt. font, bold-faced, underlined TWICE, that this is only an article to see if CBD can help your golf game, without 90% of the comments being about the effects outside of golf, the legality, etc. Too slippery of a slope IMO.

ZJBogey2 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I would be interested in a review of products, taste, flavor, consistency, ect but agree with others would be hard pressed to test the effectiveness of the product. I''ve seen a slightly positive improvement in some pain management using CBD Oil (THC Free). I do need to be better about remembering to take it regularly though. I can't say I've noticed an improvement prior to going out for a round. The biggest issue with the industry will be controlling the image and message and separating from the Marijuana industry. I work in the agricultural finance industry and have seen quite a bit of growth in hemp farming which will ultimately bring the price to a more tolerable point. Present day, I think it is overpriced.

You understand the stigma behind the product, the science that goes with it, and could benefit from learning more about it. I just don't think MGS can provide enough information to the casual readers who still get upset about dudes on tour playing in shorts. Call it brainwashing or whatever you want, but some people can't set aside what they've been told by their DARE officer or whoever they listen to, and simply look at the science. FWIW, THC and CBD are both found in MJ but react to different endocannabinoid receptors in our bodies. THC binds to the receptors in your brain which causes the high/euphoria. CBD doesn't, and can actually block THC from binding to the receptors, lessening the high. This is why long time users prefer to consume strains with high THC concentrations and little to no CBD, otherwise they don't get the same effect. For everyone who will only put into their bodies what a government agency says is safe, the FDA approved Epidiolex which is derived from hemp for the treatment of seizures in children. silver & black 1 Quote Driver: Rogue ST Max LS Tensei AV Blue S 3w/5w: TSi2 Tensei AV Raw Blue S 4h: CLK 22* Hybrid Tensei CK Pro Blue 80HY S Irons 5-PW: 223 Steelfiber PR 95 S Wedges: RTX Zipcore Tour Rack 50, 54, 58 Steelfiber PR 105 Putter: LAB Link.1 Ball: Z-Star Diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bens197 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 First and foremost, I want to say that I would love to smoke pot or use THC oil. Unfortunately, as a government employee, I would lose my job in a snap. Now that CBD extract is being marketed I am very interested in using it to relieve pains of aging. Count me in on the group that lacks trust in the myriad of vendors who claim their product is superior. I am glad you’re bringing this up and hope we can sort out some of the noise and narrow down products that could benefit the public. I will say that it is still amusing that some still believe that CBD is Marijuana in an augmented form. The tough part about science is that results always precede understanding. yungkory 1 Quote Titleist TSi3 Fujikura Speeder NX Blue 60X TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Fujilkura Ventus Blue 7-X Titleist U505 2 Tensei 1K Black 85 X Titleist T100 4-P Nippon Modus 3 120X PING S159 50-S 55-H 59-T DG X100 Vokey SM8 50, SM9 54 & 60 Nippon Modus 3 120s L.A.B.

Unfortunately, as a government employee, I would lose my job in a snap. Now that CBD extract is being marketed I am very interested in using it to relieve pains of aging. Count me in on the group that lacks trust in the myriad of vendors who claim their product is superior. I am glad you’re bringing this up and hope we can sort out some of the noise and narrow down products that could benefit the public. I will say that it is still amusing that some still believe that CBD is Marijuana in an augmented form. The tough part about science is that results always precede understanding. https://www.leafly.com/finder/cbd-stores Leafly is a highly-trusted source in the cannabis community. A lot of people trust their data when looking for their medicine. See if there are any stores near you and talk to someone there. Most of the people I've interacted with are genuine and seem like they have their clients' health in mind when recommending products. Definitely walking a tight rope consuming while being employed by uncle sam, especially since there are no regulations. But even in regulated industries, there are always sharks.

So long as Marijuana is listed as a schedule 1 drug, there will be interference.
