Thought I’d post an update on this, I can’t be the only newbie that hasn’t tried it before!
I must add this has been a very short experiment, but I am coming to the end of what I purchased to trial, what follows is my honest results.
The reason why I wanted to trial CBD - moderate back and neck pain from several accidents years ago. Probably moderate stress at times, and a hard job getting to sleep at night. Neither of these issues stop me doing my thing day to day but the back pain is always their niggling away at me, worse at night.
What I trialed -
Full spectrum CBD oral drops (500mg)
CBD isolate crystals
CBD flowers
First up, the flowers. I purchased a bag of lemon haze which is advertised as 22% CBDA. Smells like weed, tastes like weed - but does fuck all. That’s basically a long story cut short. I Vaped almost the whole bag over two days in a dry herb vapouriser. Absolutely no effects at all to report.
CBD isolate crystals - these are pure CBD crystals that I diluted into PG at a concentration of 750mg in 10ml. I then diluted them into a 30ml bottle with some flavouring making a total of 250mg per 10ml. The mixture was reasonably cloudy and pretty harsh although that may have been thanks to the 50/50 ratio I mixed it at. I vaped this on a goon RDA 0.15 ohm at 80w. Firstly I tried a few drops, had a little break for 30 mins, went back for some more, repeated this process over a few hours then proceeded to vape almost half the bottle. Absolutely no effect at all that I could notice.
CBD oral drops 500mg - I was surprised how much this smelt, it really does stink. The taste is surprisingly nice, kind of like a mild weed taste, tolerable for sure. I have used 2 or 3 drops under the tongue twice a day for 4 days. I must add that the vendor did explain I would need to continue using this for over a month to really notice any effect. I can’t say I noticed any during my 4 days of use.
Conclusion - I don’t think I’ll be pursuing CBD any further, if it worked for you that’s great, for me it did jack shit. I understand it’s recommended to continue use for extended periods of time but I was expecting to notice something, anything even. Just a sign that it was doing something would have persuaded me to give it a full month or something.
You do see reviews about online dotted around by customers reporting a “excellent vape, nice chilled out feeling and excellent pain relief” - nothing like that for me sadly.
