Something to do with the ratio of THC I presume, but its not particularly clear

cbd oil not available on Amazon
Can anyone recommend a source to order from for a US customer ?

Cal is there a licensed dispensary near you? Would recommend checking that if you can

I've been messing around with CBD for the last few weeks and have had best results from vaping high CBD low THC bud (surprisingly easy to get hold of in UK?!) It's like my body gets stoned but my brain doesn't? Really reduces pain in muscles and lessens body stress/anxiety. Not a wonder cure but any reduction in symptoms is welcome tbh.

one month passes...

been using cbd oil for a few weeks, felt quite good initially but noticed i've been getting upset stomach a lot more. i have ibs but usually related to eating certain things. i wondered is it possible i'm swallowing it more than i notice when taking it sublingually. i find it quite hard to know how much is being administered and now i think about it, whether i'm properly administering it sublingually. i mean without getting ridiculous should i be telling myself to say "ah" like a doctor would when you're a kid.

alternatively i guess i could start vaping it instead? dunno where to start with that tho.

i have a lot of chronic weakness and muscle pain and the first week it seemed to help a lot with that, i was exercising more and sleeping better, but the upset stomach just exacerbates those issues so it's become harder to tell how effective it's been.

I had the bartender put a few drops in my beer last week and mix it up. Horrible idea, turned it into soap and caused it to overflow.

im a bit dubious about the benefits of cbd so i like to read things like that that are positive but measured

Bump

I am interested in trying CBD on as as-needed basis to manage/alleviate anxiety. Interested if anyone else has tried it and your results.

could be psychosomatic, but a small amount of cbd and I’m less self-conscious when being social. a middle amount and I’m falling asleep on the couch

and it’s probably even more unlikely, but after having some cbd following a week where I had thc, feel like some residual good vibes popped up

I have experienced my Grandfather struggle with anxiety for the last half year or so. Two different sets of drugs didn't sort him out, mainly I think because the side effects absolutely knocked him side-wards (he's 86).

Anyway after a couple of friends extolled the benefits I bought a 10ml 250g (weakest stuff) CBD Ultra bottle for him, three drops under the tongue in the morning and he's like a different person this week. Could be a placebo but I hope this holds up.

I agree that the "I" is a pretty heavy concept (fionnland), Thursday, 10 October 2019 18:14 (four years ago) link

my gf's cousin has a cbd business and is always giving us oils. i've been taking it daily since about christmas - so a month - and it does the square root of fuck all for my anxiety and chronic pain

Almost every business in my neighborhood added “and CBD oil!” to their sign over the last 12 months, including a clam bar

My wife takes it for her lower back pain...she says it works wonders

frogbs, Saturday, 25 January 2020 00:37 (four years ago) link

the state cops busted someone running a business called "Your CBD Store" with storefronts in three local suburbs here. it's insanely vague whether it's actually illegal and a bunch of my peers have CBD products at home

at this point it'd be worth explicitly, at the least, making non-THC products like CBD available because mail order businesses are making bank

my conservative, very much not pot smoking seventy-five year old parents bought some "pet CBD" for their dog as she was dying of dog cancer a few months ago. it was their vet's suggestion apparently, and apparently pet CBD is no different from human CBD except that it's sold in a much less concentrated dose. anyway they said it really seemed like she was a lot more tranquil and it certainly helped her appetite in her last few weeks.

anyway, good for her and good for them and everything (and RIP Maggie the Goldendoodle, a gentle soul who is missed), but the whole experience made me curious enough to buy 30 10mg capsules for myself and I tell ya what, that wack ass shit didn't do a dang thing for this non-cancerous human except give me lavender oil scented burps and make me regret blowing $40 on it.

lavender oil?

my continuing report is that I feel more mellow, sleep better, and am in higher spirits after CBD ingestion

babu frik fan account (mh), Saturday, 25 January 2020 00:55 (four years ago) link

I have an anxiety-ridden friend who somewhat recently developed severe insomnia (staying up for four days straight some times), and she now swears by cbd-infused melatonin capsules.

a bevy of supermodels, musicians and Lena Dunham (C. Grisso/McCain), Saturday, 25 January 2020 01:01 (four years ago) link

yeah the stuff the guy at the dispensary sold me was cut with lavender oil and had ridiculous ganesh-themed packaging designed to dupe scented candle/yoga enthusiasts (and me) into buying it. "achieve zen" brand CBD oil or something like that. I did sort of feel alrighter than usual for a few hours after I exceeded the recommended dosage and ate four of the lavender snake oil pills at once, but cmon $40? at that price how can anybody who needs to make that a habit make that a habit?

The c b d seltzers give me a headache

calstars, Saturday, 25 January 2020 01:09 (four years ago) link

I swear by plain ol' melatonin for sleep issues, no CBD needed.

I recently read a book ("Suggestible You") about the placebo effect, which not only illustrates how some are more susceptible to it than others (perhaps a genetic trait), but how the problems the placebo effect is most effective in countering are often pretty much exactly the bulk of what CBD is typically purported to do. Pain, depression, nausea, insomnia, and anxiety, among them. (It's apparently also the cannabinoid receptors in our brains that enable to placebo effect.)

The way I see it is, until there's a study that says it's harmful, there's really no harm in trying, especially if you get results.

i enjoyed this post. personally never spending money on a cbd product that doesn't have the thc in it too.

ingredience (map), Saturday, 25 January 2020 01:23 (four years ago) link

Fwiw I could have sworn I read that THC boasts all the effects of CBD, too. Btw, per that same book, apparently Prozac does not beat the placebos in trials. That's another human drug we give to pets for their benefit. I wonder if there is an element of correlation vs. causation, like the way people who talk or sing to their plants reportedly get better results than those who don't.

My corner market has some CBT cigarettes next to the register and, as a recently quit smoker of 25 years, I’m very tempted to have something for my weak moments that won’t get me completely baked.

Heez, Saturday, 25 January 2020 02:18 (four years ago) link

many xps to Jim - the oral dosage required for any effect on anxiety is immense (much higher than anything people buy at local shops/Family Video/etc.), it seems to be more reasonable with vaping

On a lark I bought some high-CBD legal/smokeable hemp, it was the worst thing I've ever smoked including unfiltered Camels.

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Saturday, 25 January 2020 02:52 (four years ago) link

I vaped a balloon of 20% CBD/1% THC from Colorado in one of those $400 Volcano things and it was the most relaxed I've ever felt without being noticeably high.

my experience these days is that CBD don't do it but THC does BUT I'm gonna have to function high if I want the pain to go away, so i just cope and load up at bedtime when no one cares.

i realise this is probably a stupid question, however, i have been innundated with ads re CBD drinks over the last week.
in particular, TRIP.
my question : i love wine and a lot of the PR has been about how this stuff is a good booze replacement.
anyone here given this TRIP stuff a go and has it helped reduce booze excess ?

note : i have never been a smoker, so have little knowledge re CBD/THC etc.
and as a UK'r, the variants here have no THC.

it's weed without the fun ime but it does seem to relax my muscles and has helped me sleep if I have it instead of a beer so it's worth a try

Left, Wednesday, 31 August 2022 20:37 (one year ago) link

it's overpriced and I resent the name given the absence of psychedelia but it does seem to calm me down a bit idk how much placebo is involved

I was in france and germany recently and found it weird how a lot of places are now selling "CBD flowers" for smoking/vaping which look identical to the real thing and are similarly priced... I regret not trying some but I suspected I'd be disappointed

Left, Wednesday, 31 August 2022 20:51 (one year ago) link

my youngest, 19, asked me today if the UK will ever legalise weed/edibles/THC based products.
i think attitudes may have mellowed in recent times, but it's not going to happen here for quite a while yet.
suspect it needs another generation to die off basically.

however, as a booze replacement, i am kind of tempted to try this CBD overpriced alternative, get let down, and open a bottle of wine.

mark e, Wednesday, 31 August 2022 20:52 (one year ago) link

It’s probably overselling itself with a name like that

There’s a brand around here called “recess” which is not apropo
