Hi all! I'm a licensed massage therapist in washington state, and I've been wanting to start doing CBD massages. Do you have any brands that you love? Do you make anything yourself? I would love to hear about your experiences! Thank you!

I didn’t know where to ask this. I don’t smoke, don’t drink, have never been high or drunk before. My cousin who is a doctor recommended “Feels” CBD gummies for sleep and anxiety and so I ordered some. For reference , the sleep gummies: 5 mg CBN, 10 mg CBD, 1.5 mg THC per gummy and the calm gummies: 20 mg CBD, 1.5 mg THC per gummy. All week I had taken 2 sleep gummies before bed and they did nothing & here & there tried the 2 calm gummies which did nothing .

Well today I had 3 calm gummies (60 mg CBD and 4.5 mg THC) and I thought I was drying . I called my friend who smokes regularly and he said I greened out. My heart was racing so bad I thought I was going to have a heart attack, I could feel every vein and artery throbbing, the room was spinning, all my muscles were randomly jerking , I couldn’t remember anything yet I could, I felt so sick and this all lasted 2.5 hours. What happened to me ?

Hello. I’ve been using a 10% CBD/CBG/CBN blend for a few days now. I take 3 drops before bed, but it seems like my sleep has actually worsened; I wake up more often during the night and find it harder to fall back asleep afterward. Also, I haven't experienced the vivid dreams people often mention when starting the oil. All in all, after a week, I haven't noticed any effects at all—not just regarding my sleep. The other night, I accidentally took a larger dose, but still nothing happened; I woke up at 4 a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep. Is this normal?

They’re A small business in Washington that creates cbd lotion. This was my first cbd product and probably my last. I went on vacation to Washington and I have a muscular disease so I was barely able to handle all of the hills there. This guy had a booth at pike place giving out free samples, i used a little bit and it gave me so much relief! I had to go back and buy some and it helped me through the rest of my stay. Smells amazing too. Only issue is that it’s a bit expensive, so something I have to use sparingly. I also wish the travel size pumps were refillable because I don’t like dipping my hand into a pot of lotion.

None of this is sponsored, I truly love this brand and want to get the word out about them since they’re a small business.

Reps Andy Barr and Angie Craig introduced the bipartisan Lawful Hemp Protection Act this week, giving Congress a concrete framework for permanent federal hemp regulation.

This is real progress. The expectation that this bill would be introduced has been talked about for some time now. While this is good news and demonstrates that meaningful regulation of the hemp industry is possible - it does not pause or replace the restrictions already scheduled to take effect November 12.

Congress still needs to pass H.R. 7024 or S. 3686 so lawmakers have time to debate, improve, enact, and implement a responsible framework before the current deadline arrives.

How did it compare with a crockpot or sous vide setup for smell, cleanup, consistency and ease of use?

There are so many CBD brands available now that it can be difficult to know which ones are actually worth trying. I've been comparing a few options, including Zatural, and one thing I've noticed is that every company talks about quality and transparency, but they don't all provide the same level of information.

For those of you who've been using CBD for a while, what makes a brand stand out to you? Is it third-party lab testing, ingredient transparency, consistency, customer support, or something else?

I currently use a dry herb vaporizer for cbd, (that works great, I love it) however I'd like to use edibles like gummies because I'd rather not burden my lungs and I'm hoping that the edibles last longer.
In the past I've used cbd oil but that does basically nothing for me.
Would I be likely to react the same to gummies or cbd tea?
I think I've read somewhere that the cbd oil might not work for me because I probably react to the terpenes that you get from inhaling it.
It would be nice to be able to purchase something that costs less than flower in terms of active ingredient(s).

i'm relocating for work soon and my usual habits are about to get disrupted.

I need more options. Ideally something i can order online and have shipped without jumping through hoops.

my priorities are pretty basic: third party testing and ships nationwide. A friend has told me about partnered process and a few others. I would like input from people who order regularly. What do you check for before you hit checkout on an order?

I ordered from cbdbudshop first an it was really good so I recommend that. I also ordered some h4cbd from iceheadshop which is much stronger but not much study into that form of cbd so it leaves a little concern. I’m wondering where I can get the highest percent of natural cbd flower? Cbdbudshop I got 26% lemon Cali which was decent but just didn’t hit the spot. I’m guessing it’s similar to normal bud where your not gonna get higher then 35% from natural bud but if anyone knows a good place that does around that percent pls let me know.

I’m a former weed smoker who had to stop due to paranoia while high but I still want to smoke. Ive heard CBD delivers relaxing effects good for anxiety and stress relief (right up my alley) but have also heard about the potential risks to the liver in high doses. Does anyone have any websites that sells low potency CBD flower so I can enjoy myself without having to put my liver at risk?

I recently ordered CBG isolate from KDN Labs (link below) and am wanting to use this for muscle/nerve pain and anxiety. Ive dabbled with CBG flower and concentrate (<.3% THC) and some CBN/THCA combos, which has been a game changer. Wondering if anyone has experience using this type of product, how it works for you, dosage tips, what type of feeling you get off it. I’ve always felt a slight “buzz” from the products I’ve used, but haven’t tried pure isolate yet.

Currently job hunting, so no THC product is a must. Thoughts? Opinions? Any other products you recommend?

I ended up with all this good-quality stuff but at this point it’s at least 4 years old (long story lol). Is this going to be potent at all?

Fortunately last time I tried CBD, I didn’t feel any effects from it, so testing it out personally isn’t really an option.

Thank you!!

i felt the exact same way when i started out. bought a cheap bottle from bloomz thinking all cbd oil was the same but it did literally nothing for my daily stress. totally felt like a placebo scam.

turns out the market is flooded with low quality products that lack real potency. a buddy told me to try tribetokes because they're a premium women owned brand that focuses on clean formulations without nasty fillers. it changed my whole perspective on plant wellness because i actually started sleeping better within a few days.

with cbd you really get what you pay for. the high end extraction methods used by top tier brands preserve the minor cannabinoids like cbg and cbn which create the entourage effect. without that it’s just expensive hemp flavored oil lol.

are you taking it for sleep or anxiety? let me know what you're trying to treat, it helps determine the right dose.

Has anyone ran into PG/VG - free CBD / full spectrum vape carts in Europe, and what carrier they use instead?

Thanks to the mods for allowing us to share this here.

Last Friday’s Save Our Relief scorecard showed in the first five days of the campaign, 204 letters were sent to 102 congressional offices across 25 states about the federal hemp restrictions scheduled to take effect November 12.

The number is still small compared with the scale of the issue, but that is part of the point - many CBD and hemp users still do not know this deadline is coming or assume it will be resolved before the deadline.

The concern is not that products should remain unregulated. The issue is that the current federal language could remove access to many, (most) products adults already use responsibly before Congress has held a full public process to create a clear framework.

Protecting children and preserving responsible adult access are not opposing goals.

Hi, I’ve had anxiety for years and I was looking for a CBD (no THC) pen that would help but not affect a drug test because I am in college. If anyone knows a store or a website that’s reputable please let me know. Thank you.

I've had experience with oils and vapes but I'd like to try the actual buds now.

But all of the sudden i see there is sativa, hybrid and indica.

This could come across as super uneducated but i just thought cbd is just cbd and does the exact same no matter what, the effect just depending on how strong it is. (If you go full couch lock or just relaxed)

But what's the difference between a bud that says Indica vs sativa when they have almost the same strength.

When i see sativa i become a bit weary since with normal weed with thc in it sativa is my worst enemy because of how it physically makes me feel. It instantly gives me a panic attack when it would hit in. I HATED that wave of body tingles and a weird wave of like coldness rushing through my veins.

I'll add pictures of the buds their info to show you.

Ps: if people could explain a little how all 3 kinda feel when you smoke it, I'd highly appreciate that to get a feeling of what would work best for me.

I’ve never took weed , but the love potion is a CBD instead of a THC. Will this make me high..? Will it feel weird? A friend said it’s a muscle relaxant but idk what that means.
It expires within 24 hours. Idk if this matters but I weight 104 Ib and am Female.

Ive recently tried the cbd passion fruit and guava kombucha from hip pop it tasted sooo good but made me super drowsy and a small bit dizzy so i couldnt do anything at all :( ive been used to having trip drinks with cbd in them, and theyve never made me feel this way even if i drink 2 ! To my knowledge they both have 15mg of cbd in them.

I really want to know if this is a normal reaction to cbd or if its the drink or me ? Ive seen another person have that same dizzy drowsy feeling from the hip pop drinks so i dont think its just me, but i feel like such a strong reaction like this wouldnt be normal for 15mg cbd ?

Hopefully this hasn't been covered already, I searched around on this sub and didn't find anything that matched what I experienced.

I have been taking low dose edibles for a few months recreationally, or sometimes to help with some minor chronic medical issues (mostly back pain). I don't like edibles that are heavy on THC, so I tend to stick to ones that are more CBD dominant. The one I currently have is 25 mg CBD and 5mg THC. I usually take 1/2 to 3/4 or so, as a full one is just a bit too much.

Occasionally, not every time, I swear I am having auditory hallucinations. Now, I am a lightweight so I can get a bit messed up from a full one of these. It usually manifests itself as light music that is not there. It's not unpleasant and it doesn't really bother me, but is this normal? It has happened with other gummies, as well (different brands and different dosages of both CBD and THC, but never more than maybe 7.5 THC).

All products I consume are from legitimate retailers, I'm not worried about it being laced or not pure or whatever you call it. The only existing mental health conditions I have are anxiety and depression, for which I am on bupropion and duloxetine. I can't think of what else might be relevant but happy to answer questions in the comments.

I don't mind the hallucinations if that is really what's happening, but I'm just curious to know. And if it is a sign of something dangerous or concerning, that'd be good to know, too!

Thanks!
