CBD oil/tinctures/eliquid

visibleman · 1 May 2020 at 21:15

I'm wondering if it's possible (mods clear it) to get a running list of recommend products, like the above and Peng, in the OP for us noobs?

Yadda said:
Thanks Kai. What brand did you get?

Possibly CBDiablo from doing a Google.

Yadda · 1 May 2020 at 21:37

It's encouraging to see so many here benefiting from CBD. I'll have a proper read through tomorrow when I'm less cream-crackered.

Thanks for the recommendation, @NVP. Much appreciated.

Quite, nice balanced Sativa based vs brain rattling Indica and the chasm between.

Ah sorry, I got lost in the conversation.

I feel your search OP is somewhat pointless. CBD at worst is useless and at best is no different to using any other psychoactive drug like diazepam which is a proven treatment for insomnia.

CBD is not psychoactive.

Open your mind and look into CBD before jumping to an ill-informed decision, along with giving out bad/incorrect advice.

There are lots of cases where CBD has been proven to help, I can link some documentaries if you like?

The NHS had a family member of mine on opiates for about 20 years, finally have them off them now (which was VERY difficult) and CBD has been a major help with that recently.

That's a contradictory statement. If a substance actually does relieve anxiety and insomnia it is by definition psychoactive, you can't have it both ways. If it's not psychoactive then it can't benefit those conditions.

I'm not interested in anecdotes and placebo effects, I'm interested in science, real pharmacology.

And I'm not giving out advice, I don't offer medical advice on internet forums.

I'll be honest, it does seem that you have a closed mind to this but if I'm wrong then take a look at the below, it certainly changed my mind on it when I watched it quite a few years ago now;

I don't know what that is in reference too, I didn't ask for advice :confused:

A closed mind is one that doesn't critically analyse the available evidence and just believes what they want to. Being a pharmacology student I've seen enough documentaries with miracle claims for every substance under the sun including CBD for a lifetime.

And btw in case you didn't realise you have just linked to a video on cannabis, not CBD which is precisely what the OP asked people not to do...

You claimed I was giving out advice...

OK, perhaps I should have said that CBD is non-psychotropic but I understand your view as a pharmacological definition. CBD derived from hemp has no psychotropic activity.

It wasnt all about that, it focused more on the healing (cbd) sides later but ok

My CBD isolate arrived today. I'm going to dissolve it in olive oil and make my own sublingual oil from it, aiming for ~30mg doses (I won't go into the details but from what I've read, that seems like a good middle-of-the-road dose for someone of my size. Edit: I'll be building up to that dose though, obviously, starting with half that or even less).

I slept well last night so I won't try it yet but it'll be there when I need it.

Yadda · 8 May 2020 at 01:21

It definitely works.

I dosed ~15mg three times tonight over 4 hours and only got angry at Question Time a couple of times, and then only mildly. And I feel quite tired, which is nice.

Now that's out of the way, does anyone here use any CBD products? I've been looking into them over the past week because I've been having trouble sleeping at night.

I've been looking at it for the same purpose. I haven't got any yet, because it's really expensive. You can get a range of sleep aids OTC at a pharmacy, why not talk to your pharmacists about it? (Just don't let them fob you off with the herbal garbage).

Cheers Jack. Speaking with the pharmacist was on the cards if my efforts proved fruitless but I may just have cracked it. I slept very soundly last night without feeling "knocked out" (also very important to me because I'm sometimes needed in the early hours). There don't seem to be any after-effects either - I feel pretty clear headed today. Marvellous.

I'm thinking of trying CBD. I've heard that it is good for psoriasis which I have on my scalp and anti inflamation. I have some knee pain that I think it may be helpful for. Any suggested suppliers? Topical for both?

My friend gets CBD buds from a site called Hemp Elf. They seem to sell all things CBD from buds to bath bombs so I'm sure it's a decent place to start

Skidder · 22 Jun 2020 at 16:55

Thanks, I've placed an order.

Hutchy · 22 Jun 2020 at 17:28

If it's in Rum or Gin like https://strangewaysspirits.co.uk/ would you not get drunk way before feeling the effects of the CBD? I don't get it. Or is the only real option to treat it like a supplement and get through a certain amount of mg every day to actually have an impact?
