CBD OIL - health benefits

[boxer cam]

More great info by LK3. Your a very smart man. I'm following the current arthritis thread and have started to read some of your back pain related posts you have made over the years, that you recommend to read. I also don't take stimulates, not even a morning coffee for me.

I haven't worked in 5 years, not a drug dealer. Just worked my ass of doing 2 jobs and private mechanical work as well for most of my twenties. For the last 2 years I've been a off grid, low input farmer. So endless time and I don't pay for smoke. I smoke non stop 14-16 hours a day and go through about 50g a week, just couldn't imagine having time to double my intake. There is no limit to what I can handle and it sounds like you are the same.

You make a great point about people need to look past the high. This is definitely where CBD oils come in to the lime light. I still prefer to keep it natural and smoke myself, but it's not good for my lungs. The worst thing I find is some strains cause my insomnia to go real bad, but those same strains get me more motivated during the day.

I do not believe that THC causes mental problems, but it is capable of bringing undiagnosed conditions to the surface. I have only known 1 person in the hundreds and hundreds of smokers I've known to have this problem. 15 years of paranoid schizophrenia later for him. So like any medical or recreational drug, caution is required and this is where medical oils might be a better option. I hope LK3 has something to add to this?

I definitely am so energized. I took way too much last night. 3 drops is perfect for energy. I'm wired in a good way, happy, and I forget to eat because my mind is firing so fast. Taking less gives energy similar to kratom. I think I accidentally may have taken a dozen drops last night. I couldn't get the dropper to accurately push out one drop at a time. This time I know I only took 3-4 drops.
Both last night and today I realize this is perfect for precontest. I have no desire to eat at all. My diet is real strict which usually is extremely difficult to stick to.
I'm making my first food meal of the day now. I've only had a protein drink and it's 1:17pm here.
Plus, I feel great without kratom which I have been on for a year nonstop.
Anyone who wants something to taper down or take a break from kratom, CBD oil is the ticket.
I'm so pleased this stuff is legit! I hate when I take something and I don't feel shit.

Just to clarify, you don't have anything that resembles the high of thc correct? i want to hear your opinion, as well as others on this. I CAN NOT handle being high. If it sounds like I'm being a little over the top on this, it is because it puts me in an extremely bad place mentally.So this is not something i want to even go near if there is a possibility.

THC definitely doesn't agree with me. I already suffer from thanatophobia (fear of death), and even a small amount will throw me into a black hole. which feel like forever....thanks mary jane.

Not good, hope you have/do learn to manage your fear over time. I think about life the opposite way, a fear of not living. Years ago I lost a very close friend in a motorcycle accident and was put on antidepressants by a doctor. They didn't agree with me and I've seen that black hole you talk about. All the best for the future.

I would be careful of even using CBD oil without proper medical supervision in your case. Just to be safe.

It's not a high like with THC. I feel a relaxing feeling and happier. My mental energy really gets kicked up a notch. My knees feel a little better.

you just described how i think exactly. afraid of not living is the perfect description. to me it causes massive panic attacks if i even get close to the thought of it. usually it always happens after dreaming. I tend to have extremely vivid dreams of being murdered or killed in some fashion. reallllllly don't like sleeping because of it

The same thought, but different responses it seems then. I would give you advice based on how I deal with it, but that could be dangerous. I run a fine line and take educated risks, that I wouldn't recommend. I get similar dreams over the time and smoking helps control them, it would be great if cbd oil helps you, without the bad side affects that you get from smoking. Just use caution if you decide to try it, we lose enough brothers already.

having a farm and living a quiet peaceful life is a dream I can barely imagine! lol

I bet i could use a lot less in that sort of environment. lol

I had to think about my normal schedule but I don't really smoke all day, 2-4 in the morning with my coffee, then 1 walking to the gym, then a after my first post meal I smoke and smoke heavily after dinner but usually works out to 7-10 ed, the thing that will change is the size, I make bigger rather then more.

I agree 100% in plant material and smoking being the absolute best bang for buck, I get much different feeling smoking then eating. actually interesting as this has to do with terpenes like we were talking about on the previous page.

from both my own use and talks with real researchers on the subject none of the chems in this stuff is going to make you something you are not already and really all it does is help to maybe bring out some different thinking patterns what you do with that will determine the end result.

to me this is WHY these compounds are sort of unique as they are not like a sledgehammer in effect, they do not force change as much as they do open the door for possible change that YOU have to work at.

cannabis allows me to get out of my dangerous spinning racing thoughts, its like it makes me aware that there is a world around me and not just my own pain/frustration/confusion it gives me the nano second I need to get a better grip on situations and not react in ways I do not want to, but this is because I am trying to change.

this applies to aspergers syndrome and other mental stuff too.

even like what this other guy is saying and how other people freak out with anxiety and such. pyscadelics are really interesting as they kind of allow you to look at yourself better, you can really turn inward and address your demons, if you are ready for that... if not, you just get a better look at them and that can be a terrifying experience.

people that freak out with physcadelics are generally not right with themselves and living with conflict and unresolved issues... interesting research into this area in the 60s with lsd and terminal cancer patients...

that is pretty unique in a drug sense but also very helpful in a therapeutic sense, and sort of perfect for mental issues. the mental practices that you learn while using these compounds can be applied when they are not being used. just a matter of recognizing thoughts/thought patterns and learning how to change your internal dialogue to deal with it.

the last note on thc and cannabinoids on mental is that they really do no harm and are actually acting in a protective fashion.

I wish I had the study reference but one of the last times I saw one of these old Dr's I talk about was at one of the last hearing to legalize mmj in ma and he had his most recent findings that cannabis had no impact on the developing brains of children... this is also sort of backed up by the US govts patent on cannabinoids ( not surprisingly this old guy was like the govts top guy so, they are gona have similarities ) any way I have posted links to that patent before an it is an interesting read.

they are patenting cannabinoids as neuroprotectants and antioxidants, meaning this shit does not hurt your brain but actually helps protect it from damage. happens on several different levels and is in no way clearly understood.

in general from my research cannabinoids have lots of potential for many areas of health.

the cdb extracts should in no way shape or form deliver anything similar to a cannabis effect mentally, as jjb1 has stated and as I hypothesize the effect is not going to be overly mental and like a head trippy thing as much as a sense of relief in that tension and anxiety may be lifted and have some additional focus and maybe motivation to get things done.

This sounds like a good supp for PTSD. I've had great results from kratom.. I think I may try this to augment my self medication. I had a time where I abused pain killers..used psyche meds from the VA..none of them worked. I started kratom a year and a half ago..when I started I barely left my house. Fast forward to now..im married and have a wonderful relationship. This cbd oil sounds like it may help also

 

[LK3]

I think products like this are a great idea for ptsd!

 

[Elvia1023]

Thanks for the great info LK3. I am definitely gonna try this.

JJ just curious but what does it taste like?

It tastes good to me. It tastes exactly the way hemp smells, if that makes any sense. It's just 3-5 drops of oil.

I just took 3 drops 20 minutes ago and I feel great; very productive. It really helps you get things done.

CBD oil is great for stress release after a rough day.

This thing is maddening because so many people are getting ripped off and making these companies tons of money.

If you buy CBD oil online, you're not actually getting the effects of CBD (Cannabidiol). When you order online, you're getting hemp derived CBD oil which is entirely different than oil derived from high CBD cannabis strains.

Charlottes Web really kicked the CBD movement off but here in Oregon, we've become incredibly progressive in creating CBD options for people looking for healing without getting high.

For example, a very popular strain is ACDC, which I actually have some of and it is 0.74% THC and 12.64% CBD. A really popular oil is Harly-Tsu (a combination of Harlequin and Sour Tsunami) and I have some of that laying around, which is 4.44% THC and 70.1% CBD, this oil needs to be vaped though. We also have tinctures and edibles but they all must be bought in a dispensary with your OMMP card because they come from a cannabis plant when it is optimally time to be cut down with high and active cannabinoid levels, not when it is time to be cut down for hemp use which entirely changes the efficacy of the cannabinoids.

I'm not doing a good job explaining this but the CBD you see online is not the legitimate, medicinal CBD that you would get at a dispensary.

THC has negative effects on me and I cannot smoke it but when I smoke, vape or consume a high CBD product with low THC, there is zero psychoactivity.

Project CBD did a good piece of this, it's worth a read;

The honest information is out there but you need to be aggressive in searching for it, instead of assuming a company is telling you the truth. This board, more than most, should know that.

Hemp CBD oil is legal. If it is dervived from Marijuana they would get busted, right? Here is what is posted in the site:

Q: Is CBD legal?

A: Hemp-derived CBD-rich dietary extracts are fully legal in all 50 states. The legality of CBD from hemp is based on a 2004 unanimous ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which determined that the DEA “cannot regulate naturally-occurring THC not contained within or derived from marijuana, i.e., non-psychoactive hemp is not included in Schedule I. The DEA has no authority to regulate drugs that are not scheduled…”

Here are the lab tests on what I'm using:

[thehighlife06]

Hemp and Marijuana (which is actually just a slang term) are both derived from Cannabis sativa, they are just bred differently.

When CBD oil from cannbabis plants raised and cut down at the perfect time for hemp is used, the Cannabidiol is nearly worthless. When CBD from cannabis plants cut down at the right time with high amounts of trichomes and are fully budded, the cannabinoids, including Cannabidiol (CBD), is very much active.

Basically, you can't legally get the positive effects of CBD. Legal hemp derived CBD is just taking advantage of customers and the reviews are honestly... proof of the power of mind.

EDIT: those labs are legitimate but they're a different type of CBD. That CBD is not active in the same way that true cannabis CBD is. Those labs are just another way of pulling the consumer in to think something is true which actually is not, but because it technically is CBD, they can get away with posting and saying what they do. It's convoluted and frustrating.

I tried a bottle of Cbd and didn't feel a thing

Yes, only if contains THC, however if some of the companies retailing pure CBD extract in oil or powder form with medical clams, it will receive a warning later from the FDA.
