I have read a lot about CBD oil. CBD is the calming, soothing, relaxing, healthy and LEGAL ingredient of marihuana, Millions and millions of users are buying this stuff in my country. Worldwide it must be tens or even hundred of millions users. Of course I wanted to try only the best of the best. Paid 25 euro' s for a tiny tiny bottle. Just NOW swallowed 2 drops and I instantly got sleepy. Is this a placebo effect or is this CBD oil extract really that powerful? I will tell you later...zzzzz

I have bought a biological sample. No chemicals used to extract the CBD oil. But it tastes incredibly nasty. I drank some wine with it to soften the bitter taste. Wine and Marihuana extract are probably not a good mix, but I do feel super relaxed instantly. Honestly. Really powerful stuff this CBD oil

Why not? CBD oil is scientifically proven to be of great help for people with sleeping disorders and even foir people who have serious physical chronical pain, which cant be relieved by any other medicine. I am not kidding. Cbd oil is really great stuff. You dont get high from CBD oil. The " high" ingredient has been filtered out. That' s why it is a legal supplement, used by millions of users. Google and find out for yourselfl about the wonderful effects of it... And it is perfectly legal.

Below is a critical, but cautiously positive scientific review from Harvard University. But please do your own research. It really has got many (worldwide) user' s claims with incredibly positive effects. This is my first try I have ever used it. Not smart probably to mix it with a Spanish wine, but tommorow I will use some sugar (instead of wine) to soften the bitter taste...

I know there's been some back-and-forth with the selling of CBD oil, though to be honest I haven't bothered to delve into the details. It's back to being sold where I live, and if it helps people and causes no problems, then that makes me happy.

Marijuana, from which this is derived, is something that a (probably fairly small) segment of the population cannot smell. I'm one of those people. I only know it's being smoked if I actually see someone smoking a joint or someone else tells me the odor is present. My guess is this must be an olfactory equivalent to color blindness. I guess it's a good thing I never was interested in becoming a cop.

I know several people that use CBD oil and swear by the stuff. Never tried it myself.

It's about something that's legal to use. I don't see a problem there.

Not legal in OZ without a prescription Even then I'm not holding my breath for an imminent release generally here. I wish it were, it might help SWMBO, but in SoufOrz not legal, yet.

Since I am deadly allergic to marijuana, I wonder if I will get the same reaction to CBD?

We bought some and I've tried it. Unfortunately, it had no effect on me at all. Someone we know has a prescription dosage for pain. It works for him.

Just some info: CBD oil cannot make you high. It can be extracted from the marijuana plant and the hemp plant. The hemp plant doesn't have THC, which is the ingredient that makes you high. Marijuana, of course, does have THC, but can also be used to extract CBD.

Tonight was the second night I have tried it, this time without the Spanish wine, but with some sweet maple syrup to cover up the bitter taste of the CBD oil. And...

I haven't slept as long and deep in years. Great! It's just one night, but I have had problems sleeping all night long for many years now. I honestly cant remember a good night's sleep. This was my first one in a long time. Nice. Very nice

I hope it continues to work for you Carum Carvi. It may not have the same issues as THC, but you may find that it becomes a drug of dependence, meaning that you will need to wean off it, and/or require more of it to have the same effect.

Yes, I hope it keeps working as well Lsemmens. Ooh I really would love to have continuous good nights sleep!!! There are no dependency issues found though in relation to CBD oil. Nor are people having to use more and more of it, to stay effective. There has been done a lot of research into possible dependency issues and none were found. The biggest "problem" is that it tastes really nasty. Bitter. But that's because I bought CBD oil from an organic store. They dont use chemicals to extract the CBD. Healthier, but that' s the reason it taste bitter. Well, I combine it with Maple Syrup. I love Maple Syrup

It's not known to cause dependency issues.

This article from a reputable source and recently updated seems to be a pretty good summary of current medical knowledge and concerns.

I know several epileptics who prefer it to traditional epilepsy treatments as a method to control and minimise frequency of seizures.

Great idea, I don't relish the idea of using an epi-pen.

I doubt your doctor will be able to tell you which of the alkaloids present in cannabis is responsible for your allergy, although, I suspect it is the THC.

I would not recommend experimenting with oils or other concoctions, they tend to concentrate the alkaloids, like making whiskey concentrates the alcohol, and if you had a such a severe reaction to a couple hits off a joint or something your reaction to an oil could be even more severe.
If you do decide to experiment make sure to look for something with a low percentage of CBD, 10% or lower would be best.
There really is no telling what causes the reaction either, I watched a documentary by an Israeli doctor who was using it to treat patients experiencing seizures and found that different people responded differently to different strains of the plant, so a strain that very effectively treated one patient might not work at all for another.

My understanding is that hemp is the fiber from the stem, so all cannabis is hemp, basically. Some strains of have more THC than others like some chilies have more capsaicin than others and many strains that were grown commercially for hemp in centuries past have very little or no THC. Most hemp is probably a type of sativa which tends to grow the tallest so would yield the longest fiber, yet many sativa strains have moderate to high levels of THC. Depends on what it was cultivated for really but all strains, even indica and ruderalis produce the same tough fiber.
There is also hemp seed which is very nutritional and has no THC at all even if it comes from a high potency strain.

I guess that depends on your definition of high.
I'm glad it works for you, its better than some of the weird pills doctors want to prescribe.
As far as I know there is no process to remove THC from a concentrate, I believe its more likely that what you are getting is derived from a strain that has high levels of CBD and virtually no THC.

Hemp and marijuana are classified as cannabis but are two different plants.

This article has a good explanation:

CBD is an antiinflammatory but I consider other claims suspect. No, it doesn;t get you baked. I know spme people who use high CBD weed for migraines or back pain. I've tried high CBD weed ... it's LEGAL here ... and while it wasn't trying to alleviatte any symptoms it is pretty relaxing. It's not a miracle drug though.

So

I was thinking more in terms of scientific definition than legal. I remember talking to a guy at a hempfest a couple of years ago who was talking about new laws concerning hemp but I never checked it out.
By scientific definition a high THC sativa strain and low THC strain are more closely related than sativa is to indica, which often have high levels, but it certainly makes sense to make a legal distinction in order to allow the production of hemp without the restrictions associated with strains that are high potency.
Hemp is extremely useful for a variety of different things. I gave a friend of mine a bottle of hempseed oil and she loves it, uses it for cooking and puts it on her skin.

I agree, the effects are pretty mild, some of those concentrates are fairly strong but I find chamomile tea just about as effective for a sleep aid.
