CBD is going to work for you Mr.Bloom. I am about the most right-brained kind of guy you will ever meet. It drives my wife nuts as she is an occupational therapist who supplements her traditional methods with the holistic approach (I.e. cranial sacral therapy,etc.). Guess who the guinea pig is when she comes back from the most recent seminar? And I'm not bashful about telling her when I think it's a load of hooey
having said that some of the stuff she comes up with actually works. For example the essential oil extract of Thieves is great for a sore throat, tea tree oil dries zits up lickety split, etc.
I tell you this because I was highly skeptical of whether CBD did anything or not. 3 weeks into therapeutic doses and I can attest to the following effects - some sound far-fetched, but I swear it works for me. One thing.... The effect seems to get stronger the longer you take it but seems to have leveled out for me - I.e. works better now than when I started. I have only anecdotal evidence (me), but it seems to build up in your system like an antidepressant does.
-anti-anxiety - I have a diagnosis, won't go into it here, but the glow seems to take the edge off.
-anti-inflammation - I am less stiff when I roll my sorry bones out of bed than I have been in years.
-analgesic - definitely distracts you from realizing you hurt... Unless you do something boneheaded and then you hurt for awhile until you forget it hurts again - no joke lol.
-less craving for nicotine. I've used nicotine for 25 years in one form or another - Nicorette for last 8 years or so... talk about an expensive habit. Anyway, I've been using less and less - probably now at 1/2 my consumption rate of three weeks ago. That's a weird one unless you research CBD and understand it has some antidepressant qualities.... Antidepressants used to be used widely to treat substance abuse. I wonder if that proves I'm addicted to nicotine, but not marijuana
Sounds too good to be true yeah?
Oh, I had some strawberry cough CO2 flake that I made into coconut oil caps. I think I used just over 100mg of the flake per cap. It is a nice mellow buzz - but no CBD effect that I could tell. Could be though because it didn't make me paranoid like a high dose of THC normally would.
I'm taking the plunge and picked up some grow gadgets today to go along with the beans - see pic. The breeders that I got the seeds from said I have a 1 in 5 chance of hitting this pheno.
There are some seed guys in Colorado (303seeds) focusing on producing stable, CBD rich strains, so hopefully we'll be getting our own high country born and bred CBD strains in the coming years.
