How To Optimize CBD Oil Effects - 3 Keys To Success

From 420 Magazine...

If you’ve been following me or reading my page in the last year, then you know I LOVE CBD Oil and have even found a brand that I love. If you haven’t yet tried it, you really should because once you experience the benefits you’ll never be without it.

Cannabidiol (or CBD) is one of the fastest growing markets in the U.S., as are the hemp and legal marijuana industries. In fact, according to The Hemp Business Journal, the market should garner about $2.1 billion in consumer sales by 2020, with $450 million of those sales coming from hemp-based sources.

What is CBD?

CBD is a naturally-occurring chemical compound found in the hemp plant (there are more than 80 different phytocannabinoids in cannabis) and along with THC, they are the most studied and understood. CBD is non-psychoactive and not a controlled substance. It also has a number of health and therapeutic benefits- with no high and without having to secure a medical marijuana card. But, while all of this is true right now, the FDA is making steps to classify CBD as a Schedule I substance, so now might be the time to stock up.

Medical Marijuana Inc. says that CBD, “acts on the endocannabinoid system (ECS) within our own body and is a vital ‘cellular-signaling system’ that is involved in modulating pain, appetite, mood, memory, and cellular life and death cycles.

From the article:

“The endocannabinoid system is an essential regulator of bodily function in its many facets,” writes Ethan Russo, M.D., medical director of PHYTECS. “There is hardly any physiological process that is not affected by it to some degree.”

CBD is also an “adaptogen” which means that it can increase resistance to a broad range of stressors: physical, chemical, and biological ones. It is also well tolerated and presents no side effects, even in high therapeutic doses, says Garyn Angel, the Creator of MagicalButter and founder of Cheers to Goodness and Culinary Cannabis Expert.

Basically, it’s a miracle plant.

Our friends at Honey Colony say if you decide to begin a CBD regime, that you should be on the look out for the following:

  1. Reshaping of your body’s structure – this often shows up as weight loss, more energy, radiant looking skin (glow from within) and other physical effects.
  2. Sense of Stability – this often shows up as more agility and movement, and feeling stronger with more endurance. Less drama, more clarity.
  3. Health Repair – the ability to bounce back with better recovery after illness, allergies, toxin exposures, injuries, or chronic conditions.
  4. Mood Elevation – a greater sense of happiness and well-being with fewer “ups and downs.”
  5. Recurrence of chronic unresolved conditions. A healing crisis can occur, which means you can a bit worse but will eventually feel a whole lot better. This is a great time to look at the pattern that may be repeating.
  6. Better sustained performance along with greater mental clarity, focus, and a sense of awareness with increased sustained energy for whatever you are doing.
  7. Ongoing Sense of Calm, Mindfulness and Happiness – usually after six months of cumulative benefit.
  8. Greater Energy and noticeable reduction of symptoms, illnesses, and stressors allowing for a better sense of well-being.
  9. Resistance – If you stay with the program you may notice some minor temporary setbacks. Your body is adjusting because your conditions are being treated with proper nutrition, sometimes for the first time ever if you’ve never before optimized your diet.

AND, that there are 3 factors which might impact the effects and results of a CBD oil regime. Remember, everyone is different and how CBD effects individuals will, therefore, be different as well.

1. Dosing- CBD products will come with a customary dosage but make sure you also think about your age, body weight, nutritional deficiencies, and current complaints. Do your homework.

  • A good place to start, considering weight, would be twenty-five mgs per day per 100 pounds of body weight.
  • Sublingual application is best.
  • Experiment with when you take CBD as well, for some it brings on a deep sense of calm and relaxation so closer to bed might be better.

2. Receptors- You have cannabinoid receptors throughout your body that are part of the ECS. The article says, “There are currently two known subtypes of cannabinoid receptors, termed CB1 and CB2. The CB1 receptor is expressed mainly in the brain (central nervous system or “CNS”), but also in the lungs, liver, and kidneys. The CB2 receptor is expressed mainly in the immune system and in hematopoietic cells. Pathways, however, can eventually slow down or even stop altogether, therefore compromising the holistic function of receptors in your own body. This, in turn, can affect how well you receive the medicine. CBD can slowly help heal those receptors.”

3. Lifestyle- Any healthy regime, CBD included, works best in conjunction with a healthy, organic, real food, non-processed diet. It’s that simple. CBD isn’t magic. Essential oils aren’t magic. You must use these extra things AFTER changing your unhealthy lifestyle. And don’t forget to move either.

You can do it! It might seem difficult but you don’t have to do it alone. Reach out to me and our community. We will be your cheering section!

Just ran out of my hi-CBD cocobudder and kicking my ass for not getting my last 3 OTTO#1 beans in the dirt months ago. The two I did grow were boys so I've collected the pollen and will hopefully get a couple of girls to make more beans with and some almost CBD only pot to blend with regular pot to make more cocobudder with. Great stuff.

I find it really effective for my joint pain when taken late in the evening. The pain relief lasts for all the next day and I wake up well rested with my little soldier standing at attention too. The dry skin that usually bothers me all winter is better, nails stronger and mood much better.

The high from the Sweet Skunk CBD I made the cocobudder from is nice. Almost like being a bit drunk. It was tested at 12% CBD, 7% THC so about a 2:1 ratio. I made the cocobudder at a 20:1 ratio as in 20g oil to 1g pot with about 15% lethicin added to make it absorb better.

I'll have to try making a tincture when I have more and try it sublingually.

Good post WHATFG! :clap:

:peace:

Lots of strains now with various levels of CBD. The OTTOs I have are supposed to be only 1% THC and up to 27% CBD.

:peace:

Hi WHATFG, is your CBD oil from hemp or cannabis? I've found a source of CBD oil derived from hemp, is it all the same? Does your CBD oil get you high?

Do you smoke CBD oil, or just eat it?

Kate.
you can do both...ingesting would be far better for effect.
YOu NEED THC to kill tumors
they sell CBD smoke vape pens all over now..LEGAL but at 15 bucks for a few puffs is a joke.
ITS CRAP UTTER BULLSHIT PURE HYPE that they work in this form.
MAJOR GIMMIC
The amount is the true joke..Equates to 500 dollars a gram of this shit.. lol

Kinda like LP's ;)
No one needs em. Never needed them before.
Cheers.
Hope this helps

thank you gb123, what if I don't want to be high? Will THC/CBD oils get me high? can I get thc oil that doesn't get me high? From what I read CBD counteracts the thc is that right? So if I mix them I won't be high.?

Thank you gb123, I'm learning so much. I had no idea you could inject cannabis. I had no intention of getting high, but that kinda looks like fun.

inject??...
yer awesome.
...but not sure how you figured people go to "clinics studies" to learn how to inject THC CBD. The title reads and the info reads otherwise.
.
Take a little time and do some research... patients here cant be the teachers of everything..they give great info to go by and you should take the bull by the horns and run with it Kate...Run hard. run fast...and be well Patsy

@4 Na Kate

so. :weed: ..what have you learned in the time that has passed?
How goes the research? (:
Hows that Farmer neighbor of yours where you grab your herb from?
do you need any video links on how to make your own meds?
beats the hell out of buying high priced shwag meds from any LP
LP meds are CUT DOWN TO NOTHING and there for DO NOTHING to help anyone.
Making your own is KEY...This way YOU KNOW 100% whats in it and how its made.
Far better than mass making! If you think large batches are better than small ones..think again. WAY MORE CONTROL ! I dont expect you to understand but maybe in a few years of research you'll have some knowledge you can draw from and help others.
Thats what its all about after all ;)
cheers to a new year of "HELPING OTHERS" :wink:
and not trying to screw them out of everything they have..:peace:
