I've become a fan of OregonCBD. They have already been down the road I am on and seem to have a focus on PTSD. But they require a minimum 5k purchase they emphasize with "no exceptions" and "please don't ask." So how does someone with PTSD get access to the holy grail of hemp then? If anyone knows, I'd be grateful for advice.

Congratulations on getting registered.
As far as OregonCBD, create a relationship with them. Contact them and explain your situation, don’t ask for them to sell you less. Just talk with them, ask questions about the business. Get information. You may find they will work with you. If they are serious about helping people with PTSD, you may find they are willing to make an exception. Even if they hold to their 5k min. you have created a contact in the business that could prove invaluable down the road.

@justcozz that's great advice that I'll likely use soon cause they have some impressive things going on there.

Toby's 2nd day at home after having his leg removed due to an aggressive bone cancer (osteosarcoma). We think it was caught early and they believe he is free from any traces of it elsewhere in his body. We were fortunate to have pet insurance for this so we can still have him around awhile!
After sleeping all night, he got up this morning and walked himself to the door to go outside, went down the steps with little assistance got a drink of water and did his business. Now he is doing his usual thing- laying in the cold surveying and protecting the farm.
The only thing I'm worried about is that he hasn't made a sound of pain or any at all for that matter other than breathing... But he is one a ton of med's that probably have him feeling like hell... I can relate.

Hey, question for you please while I'm thinking about it...
The folks @careytownglass told me that the CBD oil they stock comes from Commercial grade Hemp. The owner called the FBI (so they say) and asked them what the deal was- is CBD illegal or what? They were told "as long as the product you sell does not contain more than the lawful amounts, we have no issue. But it is at your own risk." Something to that effect... So that's what they sell. However, I bought Cross Roads CBD Oil at a Vape shop in Virginia 2 or 3 years ago at the start of my venture into Cannabis. I didn't find out it was illegal until I took my bottle to the VA to talk to my doctor about it and discovered I had violated Federal and Virginia law by doing so.
This is why I am so... done with the confusion of it all... If I'm going to have my life ruined over CBD anyway- wtf? So now I'm dabbing my ass off and no longer have the dizziness all day I used to have. I feel better. That's all I care about. I'm happy to do the same for my dog!

My question (that I forgot to ask) was what is the difference between CBD made with "Commercial Hemp" and other? To me it is the same??? I think you just answered other questions I had about dosing and stuff.. I'm sorry, but I swear I feel like a southern baptist preacher at a week long tent revival is going on in my head.

Here is a link about the confusing law https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/psych-unseen/201901/now-hemp-is-legal-is-cannabidiol-cbd-legal-too
I do not believe Hemp is as effective as cannabis derived, but I have no science to proof that statement, just from folks use of. They do better on CBD from cannabis then hemp.
One thing I believe they use isolates, and that creates a bell shape that does not fit completely into the receptors, this keeps your body from getting as many cannabinoids so you would need to use a lot more.

Update on Toby's status:
This morning we used a sling to get him into the family room with us. After awhile he got restless and figured he needed to got out. We have to go out onto a deck and down stairs to get to the yard and it nearly wore me out last night because he wasn't using his remaining hind leg. Once we got him to the deck he wouldn't go any further so we just let him sit on the deck for a little while and went inside.
A few minutes later my wife shouted that he had just stood up and went down the stairs by himself to pee. By the time I got there, he was already walking over to the kiddie swimming pool he uses as a water bowl to get a drink... He's out there laying in the sun now. Thank you for the blessing!

We brought Toby home last night after having his right hind leg amputated to remove an aggressive form of bone cancer. Luckily, we had pet insurance to cover the cost of it and for the chemo that follows...
Going into this I felt he would have no trouble, but last night was tough on us all. Poor guy knows he is missing a leg, but hasn't figured out the one he has left works just fine yet. Plus he is higher than his daddy with the meds he is on (and on the same med's for sleep too- Trazadone- only at a much higher dosage). All this made moving him around with a sling under him a real chore getting him into and out of the house. He is 120 lb's and not helping at all. He will only stand on his own briefly.
I removed the clear tape that covered his incision last night because it was saturated in blood from the trip home and getting him inside. Vet said to do it and they wanted it left open to drain... Otherwise, he seems comfortably numb. Not trying to lick it or anything. Don't know what more I can do for him but watch over him. We'll start massaging him today...
We're praying for a better day for him! Up until this, he had never been sick a day in his 8 year life!
