Where did you get the gummies? Online link?

 

I do graphic design and one of my clients is a pot dispensary (legal in my state). I work on-site sometimes. 

CBD could be a good resource for people. It can also help with pain and inflammation, which a long day of fishing can cause. So its worth looking into for anybody that has access.

I've used it some. It's one of those things where I say, "I took some but I'm not sure if it's doing anything" It definitely has medical uses.

 

If I take 2 I may feel slightly calmer. Take another and I can feel it. It mainly helps me sleep better though.

 

One difference (not the only) between the Amazon CBD and the good stuff is that a lot of CBD products also contain a small amount of THC, the component that gets you high. The THC helps deliver the CBD into your system (so it is said). Amazon can't sell that, only dispensaries.

 

The THC is not enough to get you high unless you eat a bunch of them. I think each of these particular gummies have 5 MG of THC each. 15 MG is supposed to be equal to a placebo effect. Anything higher than that and you will get the THC effect as well (high).

 

I told my Dad, "You will have some THC in your system if you are ever checked". He was fine with that - he didn't take enough to get high. He doesn't want dispensaries in his town but it's perfectly fine for HIM to use the products (don't tell his friends!). Hypocrite Small steps oh well.

 

Another difference is that most of the Amazon etc stuff are made from hemp or hemp seed, which is not the same as regular cannabis.

 

Of course to get the good stuff it has to be legal where you live (disclaimer).

 

My Mom wants to try it. She has some but hasn't tried it. Stepdad too. They are very conservative too, if that matters.

Will this show up on a drug test? As a CDL holder, I am subject to random drug tests, but if it would help me sleep, I would give it a shot.

Don't know. 

 

It's Delta 8 THC, not Delta 9 which is what comes from pot. Don't know what they look for in a drug test. 

 

I use it for a sleep aid. My left shoulder is jacked. I've had numerous shoulder surgeries. 

Done the CBD thing, forget it. The Delta 8 is derived from CBD.

Yes . I started taking delta 8 when I tore my bicep. My wife wanted to try it for her inter cranial hypertension, but not at the cost of her job. So we went and bought an at home drug test and sure enough, I was pregnant.

Good question. I have my medical card for Oklahoma so I can ask next time I'm in a dispensary. 

 

On the subject of cannabis, I'm a big advocate of it. I was an alcoholic for 17 years and depended on it for sleep and relaxation. Well needless to say it's probably the single most unhealthy thing you can do for any reason. Medical cannabis has helped stay off alcohol, get pain relief, sleep WWAAYYY better with zero hang over. It helps my moods as well as depression. As long as you get what is good for your body. Get the wrong strain and you can be in for a bad time.  

 

I know it is still looked down on as a drug but I would rather have it than alcohol. As far as depression goes alcohol is one of the single worst things you can put into your body.
