the issue isn't that CDB does literally nothing, it's just that it doesn't do anything that getting blazed won't cure even better

Protip: Delta 8 THC is sold alongside CBD at those types of places, and it actually gets you high. In Texas, at least. I think it's more of a "it's not illegal" rather than a "it's legal" situation, but its good stuff. I found some 50mg gummies, two of those absolutely put me on my rear end. Also good for going on a bike ride.

CBD does lower my pain and anxiety a bit when I take it, but it's a pain in the rear end to find something that's actually decent.

It's a stopgap for my anxiety when my regular low-dose SSRIs don't cut it. Maybe placebo effect, maybe not, but it helps keep me from getting overwhelmed.

We've reached the point over the last 6 months where i live where there's just delta 8 stores and i think they're crushing the cbd stores

there's one called DELTA 8 STOP and it has a bunch of red arrows pointing at it like the brothel in beetlejuice

all the cannabinoids work together, cbd doesn't work its best unless it has the other ones including thc with it

vape .10 to .25 grams of flower at 190C

that doesn't extract much cbd, so take a cbd oil separately under the tongue

cbd oil comes from hemp that has been bred to have little thc but high cbd

cannabis is bred to have high thc but little cbd

eh, if you take enough CBD it's kind of like taking a lot of Valerian root. it does a tiny bit.

here in Illinois all the head shops sell Delta-8 weed, which is apparently weed that's chemically altered to get around the law

anyway, it doesn't do anything, and i think they trick people into buying it since weed actually is legal here.

Delta-8 definitely gets you high (from personal experience) but the problem with it is it's wildly unregulated and inconsistent and probably contains some pretty bad additives. If you can get actual weed there's 100% no reason to buy delta-8 at all.

I get why people would buy it in Wisconsin, where I had it, but not somewhere that you can just walk into a store and buy the real stuff.

Let me recommend Caliper

They send me 30 individual 10mg packets a month I just dissolve in my mouth, and it's far faster acting than oils. It's like $45 a month or something along those lines, cheaper the first month. You can get flavorless, lemon lime, or mint. The mint is my favorite. I take one when I get home from work

i always thought that old weed, like weed that's been sitting around that you forgot about but find way later, had a special quality that makes you extra stoney. Turns out that there's something called CBN that old weed has and it wasn't just my imagination after all these years.

Actual CBD product from a medical dispensary does stuff. No, it doesn't get you high, but it can help you sleep and other stuff. There's a lot of really scammy "CBD" products out there though of questionable legitimacy.

I've tried delta 8, and it takes 4 or 5 times as much to feel the same as a really good hit or two of the real stuff.

in my experience CBD from different companies is wildly different. some of it gives me a mildly stoned feeling, other brands do a lot for anxiety. others do absolutely nothing at all. very unregulated.

The reactions they are doing to CBD to make delta 8 (delta 8 is almost always created from CBD, it's a pretty simple process) are being done like bathtub gin style in a lot of places, by people who don't really know chemistry, and are often creating isomers of both Delta 8 and Delta 9 (normal thc). They are also creating a crazy mixture of isomers including ones that don't exist in nature.

Delta 8 is interesting but seriously just smoke real weed. And if you're using CBD for gods sake take it with some THC too. Also as stated above most cbd you get from normal stores is bunk or wildly underdosed.

I've found vaping a hit of CBD flower works just as well for me as a Xanax to stop a panic attack. Not having to take that stuff is great and I don't (usually) want to be high at work, it's very unhelpful. The problem as people have pointed out is there's so much junk on the market from these mall scammer guys. I just get mine through the same people I get my regular weed.

I can't wait until I can just go to the store and buy some 18% CBD and 20% THC flower in April, right on time for my birthday.

First time in my life I'll actually be allowed free access to the magic potion for my chronic joint pain.

unless you buy CBD products from a legal dispensary where it's required to have all product tested for THC/CBD, you're a loving mark

Everything else is snakeoil.

On my first vacation in years, found myself inside a shopping mall for a couple quick needs. Surprised to see a rather nice looking headshop so I take a quick peek inside.

"Would you like to smell?" the man says while opening a large glass container labeled Indica.

"Yes, please" I pull down my mask and take a sniff. Piney, fresh, seems pretty decent. I share that I'm from an area where weed is legal and was surprised that it's legal in Austria.

"This is CBD" the man replies. "Marijuana is not yet legal here or in Germany, and Germany will likely be first to legalize."

Heartbreaking. How is something so much like weed but not weed? Do people actually like this substitute?

Another "trusted" brand is Charlotte's Web, one of the original producers and (supposedly) named after the little girl it helped with epileptic seizures, reducing them from hundreds per month to a few per month (again, supposedly).

https://www.charlottesweb.com/maximum-strength-hemp-extract-cbd-oil

Pro: It comes in flavors, like orange or lemon.
Con: It's not the most potent on the market; 60 mg/ml is their highest dose... the Cyto product comes in 100 mg/ml.

But it is true, there are a LOT of places offering CBD products and the quality differs wildly when you go with an "off" brand.

CBD comes in softgels, both Cyto and Charlotte's Web offers them, but the body absorbs CBD a lot better under the tongue.

actually it's a pretty good rip cord for weed anxiety. I think it's a mischaracterization to say it sobers you up but it does instantly dial down this one aspect of weed if you are experiencing it

nowadays there are boutique medical strains w/ high cbd and high thc in various ratios and I hear this is where it's at for pain relief and above 1:1 CBD:THC it doesn't gently caress you up much

anyone who smokes weed and doesn't think CBD is a thing should get really high on some heady sativa type weed and then consume some actual verified real CBD in a fast acting form like buds or dabs or sublingual. Suddenly the high will change gears to super chill and couchlocked. I find that it's hard to miss when you're already high on the real stuff.
