Educate me on CBD Oil

[adam c]

I found a local shop that sells hempmed and isodiol, I read isodiol is g2g

So now that CBD etc is legal and more available, anyone else seeing good results.

I just started on CBD oil. CBD with very low THC content. My boss recommended it, as it really helped his chronic back pain. I have back pain and an arthritic ankle.
So far can't say it's done anything for the pain, but I hear it takes a while.
But holy shit am I sleeping better! It doesn't make me sleepy, or tired, I fall asleep the same, but I stay asleep.
And not groggy when I wake up. It also has chilled me out a bit I'm much calmer, dealing with stress better.

What's your dosage and frequency? Daily in the evenings?
I've done a little microdose trial and not sure what I think. Have been dealing with some stress better, but can't say if that's related.

10milligrams twice a day. Morning, and 2 hours before bed.

I’ve got some knee pain at the moment and I smoked a bowl of cbd dominant and I must say my knee felt pretty good afterwards.
I guess it wears off after a shorter amount of time than the oil but I found the oil didn’t do much Atleast the oil I have

[vengie]

I've started to use it, mostly because I sleep like shit and have a hard time turning my brain off.
So far I haven't seen too much of an affect, but I'm only a couple weeks in.

30mg before bed.

Has anyone tried the aurora cloud cbd vape cartridge? I got one last week, have been taking a few puffs a day instead of using the oil droppers. Still need to figure out the right dosing equivalent to the oil but overall it seems like a quality product.

Interesting, I noticed the sleep benefits on the second day. I've heard 2 hours before bed is the "sweet spot" for helping with sleep.

I'll definitely look at shifting the time I take it. I have been taking it right before bed.

Thanks for the input.

If you guys are struggling with sleep, it was recommended to me to eliminate all electronics two hours before bed.

It’s tough, depending on the activity it helps. A LOT.

You’re limited to talks, walks, sex, reading, writing down your tasks for tomorrow (mind wound down), etc.

Spend some time in the garage.

Don’t workout in this time frame though, cortisol will be elevated before bed.

I’m enjoying reading the responses here, seem non-biased. In the past, people claimed CBD is the cure all.

Can it be absorbed through the walls of the anus?

Don’t think there’s any other way? That’s why their results are subpar.

[ZenOps]

Everything absorbs better through the ass. That being said, media tends to mistake kids putting vodka on cotton balls shoved up their ass as a "way of concealing it" as to get high. I personally believe they are doing it as the cheapest and easiest way to get rid of a pinworm or other intestinal issue.

Two hours before bed, up the anus.
Logic is sound. I for one look forward to sleeping like a baby.

Any tips on this? unfortunately I end up working quite late, often times right up until I hit the hay for the night...

CBD is a joke. If people are sleeping/feeling better its due to placebo as is the case roughly a third of the time with any drug. Dosing CBD is similar to the studies that claim red wine helps you live longer. You'd need to consume hundreds of bottles of wine to get similar amounts of resveratrol as lab rats. Same is true for CBD where you'd likely need literally a few hundred mg dosage to enjoy the benefits if any. Add on top the fact that manufacturers are having trouble even problem dosing THC in their products you are bound get wildly inconsistent effects. Routine and 'sleep hygiene' is going to have a better result than anything you'll find on a shelf.

absolutely the first thing anyone who has trouble falling asleep or staying asleep should be taking care of. Totally agree.

I've never heard of this concept!
reading up on "Sleep Hygiene" I definitely have some work to do...

CBD on its own doesn't do much for me. A low-THC/high-CBD blend is the ticket for pain relief that doesn't get me stoned.

If you are working late, make sure you are working somewhere away from your bedroom, and then when it's time to shut it down, put away your devices completely, then go through your routine like burshing your teeth, getting undressed etc. Read a book for 10 or 15 minutes. You need time for your brain to relax and shift out of work mode. Some people need the full 2 hour thing, but even 20 or 30 minutes is a HUGE help.
Don't sleep with your phone by your bedside.
