Before consuming grapefruit you should check with your pharmacist. Grapefruit is contraindicated when taking some medications.
I'm on one medication that forbids grapefruit, Eliquis, tends to be heart related medication also.

Google saying "Grapefruit contains a compound known as furanocoumarin, which deactivates an enzyme that breaks down certain drugs, including statins. As a result, the drug concentration increases dramatically. This can cause a rare but serious condition that causes breakdown of muscle tissue and can lead to kidney failure."

Pity as we were given a couple of the yellow grapefruit and I cannot touch them. I really like them as well, one of the fruit I grew up with way back then. :cry:;)

Just looked online for this and this is what they say in Western Australia
Please note: any medical cannabis products, including CBD-only products, that can be purchased online without a prescription are considered illegal as they do not comply
That might be a WA thing. The ACT agent goes to country markets and you can buy it from him or mail order. The last Craft Alive I went to demonstrated the use of the oil. Good for us patchworkers as we can sit for too long sewing or stand for ages cutting and ironing.
 
Cabbage leaves very good for mums who have painful books after giving birth helps to dry up the milk ALSO I can't have grapefruit with one of my tablets advised by my doctor.
