CBD has to have a small amount THC to work at all in my experience, which will not be the case in most places outside of the US.
CBD-only stuff may as well just be a scam

CBD is wonderful if youβre not purchasing it from a gas station or something.
I recently got some CBD flower from WNC CBD and I definitely notice an effect when smoking it, albeit not as strong as actual bud but itβs still nice, especially when on T breaks.
With that said, cannabis has never helped me with pain (outside of distracting me from it when I get high enough), so I canβt speak on the capabilities of CBD there.
Well I bought CBD a few times now and roll it like a cigarette. It relieves stress very well and calms down - that's basically all CBD does. I can not handle THC but I have great experience with a CBD cigarette once every 6 months or so.
thatβs basically all CBD does
Yes but there is also more to CBD, it also relieves pain, helps with inflammation, insomnia, etc too.
People should know itβs not just CBD anymore, there is CBG, CBN, etc. as well that are just as helpful in slightly unique ways
I refer to them as the CBD compounds. Like you said, these work with the entourage effect and so having just one isn't nearly as effective as getting the full, or at least a wider, spectrum.
Yeah I think I forgot these details haha
Thanks for clearing this up
Thank you for your report. Working wanting to be too scientific: do you control the CBD:THC in your Sportzigarette or do you take it as it comes?
Well, the few times I tried THC I always have been invited, so I don't know the ratio. And the CBD I sometimes get is from Austria. They never said anything about THC on it, if I'm not mistaken. But from what I know, only female pants produce the THC, so it should always have been as THC reduced as the plant can grow it.
Edit: was hard to read, I made the sentences more easy on the eye.
Edit 2: just realized you're a Feddit.de user, too!
You can't think about what you feel; you have to think about what you don't feel. What's gone or lessened - anxiety, irritability, general discomfort, insomnia, etc.? Also, you have to be careful where you get it. For oils i like Lazarus naturals and Hoku Seed Co. Not sure if either so outside the US. It may take a bit for youto get max benefit from it - almost the inverse of thc tolerance.

Me, personally, I noticed an effect. However, I've never been a potist.
I used it for when I was sick. I got some flavored oil and put a few drops under my tongue occasionally.
Yes, it helped calm me down. But, I was hungover after I stopped taking it. But I get hangovers very easily because my liver has lived a few lives at this point - I was a bit of an alcoholist.
Thank you! Does calm down also refer to some pain felt or was it rather recreational?
But more importantly: the past tense in your last sentence sounds like you are still going strong without. If so: an internet stranger is proud of you!
Thanks internet stranger, yes I'm not drinking anymore.
So now I'm remembering I had something wrong with my foot, or some sort of swelling somewhere. And it did help relieve the pain, but personally I wouldn't take it again for that because of the hangover.
Your body feels hungover because you were taking something that your body was using and then you stopped providing it. That's not really a hangover so much as a previous source of nutrition that's no longer being had!
Taking CBD compounds helps start and regulate our endocannabinoid system which helps with chronic nerve pain, gastrointestinal issues, issues with insomnia, mood, and anxiety.
Basically, it's not like you were taking some acetaminophen for a headache to literally stop you from feeling its presence. It's still there, regardless of the medication or not. It's more like you were taking something that acted as a muscle relaxant, which removed the pressure from the thing preventing the headache from happening in the first place.
Maybe, but ya know drugs affect everyone differently, and I can tell you it 100% felt like a hangover - like drinking, not like something I needed.
I tried it and it did absolutely nothing for me I don't think that enough CBD gets absorbed into the body. When I was a teenager I tried marijuana a few times (the second time was years later and with different people) this was back in the 1980's and it also did nothing. I thought everyone around me was faking.
I've tried CBD oil and no worky for me. π
