I started taking it a few months ago and I have nothing but positive things to say. Would love to hear experiences from others who have used it.

Teammate uses it for recovery and swears by it. Pretty sure there are studies stating it aids in recovery.

My wife tried it for migraines, didn't help at all unfortunately.

What brand did she try?

I have a coworker that takes it for migraines for the last month and he raves about it. He takes a non THC version during the week and one with THC on the weekend (CO so it's legal). He said he does 2 drops in the morning and 3 at night rather than the 5 twice a day.
He has been suffering from migraines for the 3 years I've worked with him and been on lots of meds (that he told us about at length...) and nothing really worked until this.

We ordered some for our two 16 yo beagles. So far we haven't really seen any differences but it's only been about a week and a half.

I am a believer in CBD. I use it to calm anxiety and help relax my mind in the evenings. I have a buddy that swears it kills his hangover immediately. My favorite vehicle is ground flower in a vaporizer but I'll also use pre-rolls, tea, oil/tincture, or pouches depending on the situation.

flower/pre-rolls, tweedle farms (therapy, remedy, & special sauce are my favorite strains)
full spectrum oil, I've had good luck with summitcbd
tea, buddha teas
pouches (cannadips cbd (too expensive, though)

Very interested in CBD's recovery benefits for training as it was recently removed from WADA's prohibited substances list. Any personal experience stories about muscle recovery benefits? Also interested for the anxiety calming claimed benefits

Have you found a site to order cannadips online?

so far, the only site I have found that will ship them outside of CA is cbdsacredleaf.com

The oil we got for dogs was shipped from 4Corners Cannabis in CO.

thecbd.place is a good resource for finding quality cbd products for anyone looking to order. If you are looking for buds/flower/prerolls I cannot recommend Tweedle Farms enough.

Agree regarding Tweedle Farms. Also had good experiences with NuLeaf Naturals and Charlottes Web for oil.

How does CBD work?

I met some guy at a wedding recently taking this stuff and very involved in lobbying and trying to grow the hemp and CBD industry.

He was basically saying it can cure everything and saying it changes RNA or something? Cancer, migraines, aches, back pain, brain damage...

He had a degree in finance (told me he was a small business an accountant). When I asked how he got into the marijuana industry he told me he came from "a family of growers". But he rambled on about all the science how has RNA and DNA and stops cancer and pain and stops advancement of CTE (the NFL brain trauma stuff).

So, it works differently than an anti-inflammatory right? Through what mechanism does CBD relieve pain and help recovery?

I have ignored most of the hype but had no idea about the help it can do with sleep and nighttime stress/anxiety. I will def need to look into this more or if anyone has some more info.

Lots of info in r/CBD

We've considered it as a treatment for our kiddo's epilepsy, but we are doing our due diligence with more traditional meds first. It seems to be good for many types of seizures.

Yes, you can fail a drug test. Probably need another chemist to comment, but the simple drug tests may not distinguish between THC and CBD. Would appreciate more comments.

I would say it very likely helps with certain things
Has not been studied much for a lot of things it is being used for
A lot of placebo effect

buncha stoners in here /ignorant


seriously though,

I've been playing with the idea of doing bulk/wholesale orders for cbd products, if there's enough demand I'll pull the trigger and make it a reality for curated cbd products from good vendors with tested results...


If i get the balls to put a store display up, i'll publicize the content here (on this board)for anyone interested.

I think we will see corporate standards lessen after the NFL does the same thing with THC and already with CBD (pending new agreement or silent agreement with owners)

My recommendation would be to read up on the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) and Cannabinoids (Anandamide, delta-9-Tetra-HydraCannabinol (THC), Cannabidiol (CBD), and many more).

I have tried a few different products from a couple of websites and haven't experienced any noticeable effects. I tried oils and candy, but never felt any difference or changes. I was hoping it would help with relaxation and helping me sleep, but I didn't experience help with either.

Anecdotally - A co-worker of mine was using CBD for anxiety and sleep issues under the recommendation of a therapist who was trying to ween her off of stronger prescription anti-depressants that were causing some fairly severe side effects. She caught a random DOT drug test while using the CBD (I think she was using oil and edibles - seemed to be working for her) and passed without a word from lab. So - take that for what its worth...

My brother started a CBD oil company. I love the stuff.

I don't personally respond to edibles very well (don't have as noticeable affect on me versus vaporizing or combustion).

Cbd works better with some thc, (1-4+% is best, 1:1 thc:Cbd might be industry preferred at this point, we shall see).

Try vaporizing/combustion some isolate or hemp flower, see if you tell a difference. What are you attempting to treat?

I've passed two hospital drug tests taking CBD with minimal THC. The medical data supporting its use is quite impressive. I have several autoimmune disorders and get just general mom/life anxiety, and it has helped with inflammation of my joints, pain and my quality of sleep.

I tried it in capsule form for 60 days and only noticed that it increased my hunger. Then researched a little more and found a high quality oil that I purchased online.
I also buy edibles and vape oil from Smoken Joes in CS (Joe is actually very well versed in all things herbal if you have questions)
