sucks. glad you were able to explain.reb, said:
avoid CBD Houston brand, I popped a positive on it. I managed the fall-out so I'm okay, but wont be using that stuff again.
Been looking at this for several weeks and finally bought some oil and balm from Hemp Daddy to try and finally get over this achilles garbage. Hopefully it helps.AggieOO said:
here is the trail runner nation podcast:

Caleb Simpson is on talking about his company. He's a central texas guy who some of you might know. he was one of the founders of Bearded Brothers Bars and he runs a bunch of the texas trail races.
Just buy some. It's typically around $50 for a small bottle that lasts around 1 month. 3-4 weeks is the time period I've seen touted to notice any effects.Ronyaria said:
I would like to try CBD soon, it sounds really promising...

No need to respond to that person/bot/whatever the hell it is. Their post history is littered with super generic posts that just link to random products and such.
Who needs friends with casual acquaintances like you?? Also, way to let me know I have your burner phone number.AggieOO said:
Let him indulge. He likes to think he has friends.
Maybe you have some new info, but:administrative errors said:
CBD can turn into THC via stomach acid.
FYI
Quote:
The drug testing method in question involves a common chemical analysis device called a gas-chromatography mass-spectrometry, or GC-MS, machine. Most such devices require the drug testing lab to add a chemical to a sample in order to identify trace amounts of illicit compounds, in a process called derivatization. Labs can perform derivatization using a variety of chemical agents, but one of the most common is called trifluoroacetic anhydride, or TFAA.
According to the 2012 journal article, TFAA when used by a GC-MS machine was unable to discern between CBD and THC. If a person who used only CBD were given a drug test that employed this device, method and chemical, the results would falsely report the presence of THC.

I disagree that one should avoid THC. 1:1 cbd:thc is exceptional medicine.

COULD CANNABIS CALM A CYTOKINE STORM?
Several laboratory studies indicate that cannabinoid compounds in particular, cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are immunosuppressant. This would explain why medical cannabis is beneficial for people with autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammation.
Which begs the question: Could cannabis calm a cytokine storm?
The short answer is we don't know. There's a lot that we still don't understand about cannabis and the immune system.
For many years, scientific inquiry in the United States has been handcuffed by cannabis prohibition, and the federal government continues to thwart research that could shed light on the therapeutic use of cannabis and whole plant CBD-rich oil extracts. The federal stranglehold on cannabis research is the main reason why we know so little about CBD's clinical potential as an antiviral remedy.
Cannabis prohibition is exacerbating the current crisis in other ways, as well, as we discuss later in this article. For now, let's turn our attention back to cytokines and cannabinoids.
CBD acts as a potent anti-inflammatory, reducing cytokine production and inhibiting immune cell function.
WHAT ARE CYTOKINES?
Secreted by immune cells, cytokines are a group of proteins that regulate inflammatory responses to disease and infection. There are both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines.
Overproduction or excess secretion of pro-inflammatory messenger molecules can trigger a dangerous cytokine storm and other aberrant conditions. A cytokine known as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa), for example, is produced in excess in rheumatoid arthritis, a painful, autoimmune disease that afflicts 1.3 million Americans.
The interaction between cytokines, immune cells, and the endogenous cannabinoid system plays an important role in neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration.
It's well documented that stimulation of the CB2 cannabinoid receptor by THC and its endogenous counterparts can suppress inflammation. Cannabinoid receptor signaling confers therapeutic effects by downregulating inflammatory cytokine expression.
Although cannabidiol has little direct binding affinity for the CB2 receptor, CBD also acts as a potent anti-inflammatory, reducing cytokine production and inhibiting immune cell function.
