(Part 2) Top products from r/CBD

One recommendation for sleep is this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006IIGRA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's not CBD, but it's amazing stuff. It was recommended to me for my back issues. It hasn't done a thing for my back pain, but I haven't slept this well since I was a kid!

I wish you the best. I've heard lots of good things about CBD for MS. My dad had MS. I wish that this was a known thing when he was around, but he's long gone now.

For some good brands to try, see the companies in the sidebar. A lot of us use them and have had good results for our various maladies.

The way we are typically educated to have sex is based on high levels of tension and excitement in a way that is thrilling, but not really deeply satisfying. As you learn to really relax, some of the 'normal' ways of doing things may no longer suit you.

When I got to this 'problem' I learned tantric sex, it is a relaxed non-doing style of lovemaking that seeks to build sexual and emotional connection with yourself and your partner.

In that context being relaxed, present and not chasing orgasm is an advantage, rather than a problem. When orgasm does occur, it relies much less on muscle tension and still feels lovely. Since this method builds a lot of sexual feelings between you and your partner, it tends to be an add-on to'normal sex' rather than replacing it ;)

I enjoyed 'The Heart of Tantric Sex' by Diana Richardson.

You sound like an awesome father. Your son is lucky to have you. My son has a sensory processing disorder and he is considered a "explosive child." Doctors think he might be on the spectrum. I am happy your son is able to attend ABA therapy. One thing that helped me with my 5 year old was this book: https://www.amazon.com/How-Talk-Kids-Will-Listen/dp/0743525086

This book also helped me to understand how frustration and not being able to deal with dissapointment was at the heart of some of his anger: https://www.amazon.com/Explosive-Child-Understanding-Frustrated-Chronically/dp/0062270451/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3HZXLLH7AYKGW&keywords=explosive+child&qid=1554916295&s=books&sprefix=explossive+%2Cstripbooks%2C147&sr=1-1

​

I also started to give him CBD gummiest. I only give him 3 mg. His explosive anger has greatly subsided. He is a different kid. He still has major meltdowns but I would say they have been reduced by 40% in frequency and intensity. Other people have posted on the CBD with kids issue. If you use the search function you can find some of those threads.

Good luck to you. please report back if you decide to use CBD with your child. I am sure there are other parents who would like to know more.

Im currently have a proffesor that is autistic and has done a lot of research on it.

> What does this post have to do with CBD?

"...B also stands for basket, beehive, and butterfly. Featuring a simple format and bright paintings, this acclaimed alphabet book is perfect for toddlers. Older readers are encouraged to look and look again as each spread reveals a new perspective on what has come before and intriguing hints of what's still to come".

PS. I see some people don't like books with illustrations, lol

Currently reading a book on combining both...Mindful Marijuana User. It's not bad besides the occasional typo/grammatical error and the author continuously referring to cannabis with antiquated street names like 'grass' and 'pot' in what is supposed to be a clinical book on the subject. Besides those distractions the book is pretty good and I used some of the ideas last night with some success.

CBD definitely reduced sebum production, and I look very clear atm. It wasn't even the effect I was looking for.

If you wanted to go the route of making your own from isolate, could do something like:

choose from 60ml or 30ml dropper bottles i messed up and bought the blue color ones cant see through them very well lol , I linked some clear ones but u can look for everything on amazon.

I found one Vitam E Liquid bottle on Amazon which got sold a lot.

Amazon has just deleted it, could pull a screenshot from Google Cache:

Would they have used something like this to mix with DIY thc vapes?

Nature Bright SunTouch Plus Light and Ion Therapy
by Nature Bright Company


I like the ions and the timer. I build up from 15 minutes a day to an hour -- brought it to my office. I live in Central NY which is gray and cold all winter. I try to get sun but you don't make vitamin D unless the earth is at the right angle. I have been trying to go to Florida for a long weekend each March/April to kick the blues.

Quick plug for [Sam Quinones Dreamland,] (https://www.amazon.com/Dreamland-True-Americas-Opiate-Epidemic/dp/1620402521?crid=29MSYNE1T8Y91&keywords=sam+quinones+dreamland&qid=1536342509&sprefix=sam+quinones+&sr=8-1&ref=mp_s_a_1_1) reads like fiction.

Some people say it helps. It's not expensive. Maybe worth a try.

Amazon also sells Follicle drug test kits, which you have to send out to a lab for testing.

I can see how that is a problem. If it isn't a good topic for conversation, you can try being discreet about it. I put my vape and some mini test-tubes filled with ground CBD flower into a portable cigar case. (I have a couple of these from when I smoked cigars more often.)

When I don't want to explain to someone (like my kids) that I'm treating arthritis and workout pain rather than getting high, I'll just carry it with me to the bathroom and vape a little bit in there. I find that a bathroom fan is enough to get right of the smell as long as I'm relatively speedy about loading the vape. I also learned that I need to grind the flower in advance somewhere that smell isn't a problem. Grinding it up produces a strong weed smell, so I do that in the garage when the kids aren't home. (My dosage needs are so low that I only have to do it once per month or so.)

If that really isn't an option, you might want to try small amounts of oil from a couple of different vendors to see if one is more consistent for you. You can also try an e-juice version of the oil and a vape, which is a bit more discreet than a dry-herb vape.

Edit:

I almost forgot - I dose it out using the "smidgen" spoon from this set.

Holy shit bro, I don't even know where to start with this.

1. Med/Rec Cannabis and Med/Ind Hemp are two VERY DIFFERENT things.
   
2. The FDA is the agency STOPPING companies from making false claims.
   
3. CBD is not prescribed by any doctor, unless it is Sativex, Dronabinol, or Epidiolex, it can be purchased over the counter.
   
4. There is anecdotal evidence going back for decades on CBD, thousands of years for cannabis as a whole plant.
   
5. CBD has been legal, depending on your definition, since 2014 as an exclusion created in the 2014 farm bill.
   
6. CBD was fully removed from the schedule and classified as its own substance and clarified as separate from cannabis in the 2018 farm bill, CBD comes mostly from the medical hemp varieties.
   Have you looked into CECD?
   Clinical EndoCannabinoid Deficiency = "Migraine, fibromyalgia, IBS and related conditions display common clinical, biochemical and pathophysiological patterns that suggest an underlying clinical endocannabinoid deficiency that may be suitably treated with cannabinoid medicines."
   https://europepmc.org/abstract/med/18404144
   This study did not even include other diseases such as Diabetes, and Glaucoma or illnesses such as TBI, HIV, and PTSD. Most CBD products are "snake oil" simply because they put so LITTLE CBD if any into their products.
   
   Here is something deep to think about, could you wrap your mind around the lumber, oil, pharmaceutical, and police industries not wanting the cure to "almost everything" to be available so they used their ridiculous influence on the FDA and the DEA to keep cannabis illegal to further their own profit over the lives of us "common folk"?
   If you'd like to learn more, I wrote a book about it.
