    Default Re: Any CBD Oil users in here ??? Insomnia help !!

    I was speaking to a guy last week who uses CBD to help with his Arthritis, which is something I suffer from myself in my knees and wrists. He said it worked great for him, and I recalled reading this thread so re-visited it earlier in the week and ordered some CBD from CBD Brothers (the blue dropper).

    Unsure if it's just me, a placebo effect or merely coincidence, but I had 3 drops about midday and I now feel totally knackered (tired). Anybody else had a similar experience?

    following this thread with an open mind as I myself suffer IBS and a few people have said CBD oil has helped, but im thinking the barret n holland type brands may be too low ?

    Cant remember off the top of my head if Blue is Indica or Sativa strain of CBD.

    Indica = SLEEP
    Sativa <> SLEEP

    Although I found sativa made me sleepy for first few days then it did the opposite.

    I new retailer I found recently and plan on trying soon, as initial look show them cheaper than Brothers is Lakeland CBD. Based up the lake district somewhere. Read good reviews.

    A lot of peeps find after a few days using CBD it can trigger a good ole detox, so expect so nice dark turds and frequent visits as your body expels toxins :-) It did for me.

    Holland & Barret is a turd :-(. Dont waste your money

    I tried a few different ones whilst my arthritis was at it's worst. It chills me out like nothing else, almost like you're zoning out but with complete clarity. It never helped with the pain much but it does make you care less about it.

    I have a couple of different ones from CBD brothers, I think the white and blue ones from memory.

    Although I have experienced pain relief and the Mrs too for a pelvic pain disorder (obviously I smashed her too hard) it isnt as good as if you can get CBD with THC in it which currently is a no no in the UK

    Not condoning anyone breaks the law but I would guess one puff of a joint in conjunction with the CBD oil would help give the oils the massive boost they need from THC to offer enough pain relief to get someone off a lifetime of codeine use and occasional morphine ....

    I know of 2 people doing this and both only need morphine when they run out of the combo THC/CBD..

    Roll on 10 years.

    I think the point of cbd oil is it doesn’t have the THC. So you get the mellow effects but not the buzz. I don’t think you will ever see THC or weed for that matter leagalised in this country. You ge the occasional flurry of it in the news but the government always come back with a flat “No”.
    Might as well take any old common or garden opiate like tramadol or codeine or whatever if you’re going to do mix THC less oil with THC containing drugs.

    It does contain THC but at levels (under 0.03%) that the authorities are currently ignoring. As you point out at these levels it doesnt give you a high but be warned, if you take plenty of CBD (more than most would) you would fail a drugs test, even using ones that claim to have no THC. The ones that openly say they contain it in the US I believe can have upto about 10% from memory still doesnt give you a proper high as if you were smoking but you do feel it.

    Its still very new and people are still learning and I have seen people on forums call me out saying it deffo doesnt contain THC it says so on the box and I emailed etc, I then see months later em crying that they failed a test.
    You can get very sensitive tests on ebay now that test for THC just so you dont over do it and get your self grief.

    Some newer sellers are talking of a new post extraction treatment that does remove 100% THC but this is all very new and afiak is not on the market yet.

    Low % cbd oil is shit - I smoke weed to get me to sleep and no amount cbd oil will be able to do that for me - I choose to smoke strong indica strains - give me these for medicinal use

    Got some of the 300mg oil from Lakeland this morning. Ordered Sunday evening and paid by BACS - only means of payment.
    Can't fault the service but the stuff tastes bloody awful. Smells like liquorice, looks like a think syrup and tastes like tar.

    Fortunately I bought it for the missus to (hopefully) help with her arthritis - tension from the pain rather than the pain itself. I just enjoyed the reaction when she tried it
    1 drop 3x daily for a week increasing to 5 drops 3x daily by week 5 - or wherever the tolerance limit is reached.

    Let's see if it works...

    Thanks to chizh

    Lol I got used to the taste and have grown to like it. They do vary but unflavored ones just taste like wheat grass to me.

    Really? They'd have to make a Strongbow flavoured one for me

    We then add a bit of honey to our oil to give it that distinctive sweet flavour that makes our oil easy to take
    Like fook they do. Just took a closer look and it reminds me of the old cigarette warning video when I was a kid - lungs blackened by nicotine tar. Deep thick tar that doesn't 'drop' more like 'plops' out of the dripper. In fairness though, that first dose might have been a big dollop. Will tell her to try the hot water next to thin it down.
    Also not sure but the placebo effect - kicked in about half an hour her first dose. Said she got a right flush on.

    Since I moved to Amsterdam I have noticed more and more places selling CBD oils and even some coffeeshops offering high CBD weed now. Never tried it but am seriously tempted as I suffer from IBS quite badly (as does my mother) and have tried everything else.

    I have been looking around and have found this : https://www.amsterdamgenetics.com/sh...peasy-cbd-pen/

    I smoke a lot of the Amsterdam Genetics weed from the boerejongens coffeeshops and trust the company.

    Looks like they do international shipping, may be worth looking into their oils/vapes/tablets

    Cheers
