CBD Oil

[Freddyt]

Sorry for reviving this one.
Did any of you try CBD gummies? Are they as good as CBD oil?

Yes they can be just as good. Makes doing easy too and they are easier to carry around than a bottle and syringe/dropper.

Where I’m from there is a veeeeeery low limit of thc or cbd allowed in edibles, as well as a low number of edibles allowed per package; so we usually just make our own, using the doses each person prefers. As a bottle of oil with hundreds of doses, or 10 gummies/candies/etc. each cost the same. Gummies for all-at-once in your system & hard candies for over-the-course-of-an-hour slower absorption.

The oil is extremely volatile, so one needs to use more if you’re adding the oil to hot sugar, instead of taking straight in oil form.

I don’t use MJ in any form, but I’ve taught others how to make gummies, candies, truffles, fudge, &/or make them as gifts from whatever brand people bring me/prefer.

Truffles are one of the best ways, as you can add the oil to the COLD/room temp ganache… and that way lose zero effectivity to volatile/heat loss. As some components in hash oil bind to dairy? It’s best to use a vegan ganache/dark chocolate.

I was going to mention price too. The only edibles I have used were CBG and they were at least double the price of the oil.

Did you know there are medical cannabis clinics in the UK? I just found out about this one. It looks like something that should be everywhere. Or am I wrong?

In Canada, in order to access medical suppliers you need a recommendation from a cannabis doctor who recommends a set amount per month. Medical suppliers are in some cases cheaper than recreational.

I just noticed their newest product is inhalers - like asthma inhalers for fast acting dosage.

Those have been around here (legal state) for several years. They have very different reactions in most people. IE the same strain smoked, eaten, absorbed, or inhaled creating wildly different effects in the same person.

ALL Cannabis is like that. Best to follow the slogan "Start low, start slow"

I so wish this worked for me. I tried it for pain and depression with no effects.

Sorry it didn’t work for you, @whiteraven. I had the same issue with a couple brands before I found one that actually did something.

For me, Joy Organics made a noticeable difference,

IF you plan on trying CBD, do some research on the strength of what you are using.

The amount of CBD in the oil can vary from almost nothing to very powerful.

Here it's expressed as milligrams per gram, or per millilitre. On my med site than can go from 10mg/ml to 100mg/ml.

Sometimes there are other additives as well or different carrier oils - like grape-seed or avocado. The most used carrier though is MCT because it is stable and very few people have an allergy to it.

I’ve been using it mostly to deal with the physical "on edge" feeling that comes out of nowhere. It doesn’t make the thoughts go away, but it helps my body realize we aren't actually in danger.

I found that the shop-bought stuff was way too hit-or-miss for me,

It's like that unfortunately. What works wonders for someone can wreck someone elses life.

Start low and slow, if results seem positive ramp it up slowly.
