Not a good thing to go through Hizzy. It is scary when you can't trust others to keep you out of their issues. Just lay low, be careful what you say...what you text....and don't make phone calls that have you discussing the stuff. Doesn't matter what you say on a phone call, someone can twist it the way they want to hear it if necessary.
You are in my prayers that this blows over and keeps you secure.
Hi Sara,
Sorry, I wasn't quite sure how to look at/ respond to PM's, (still not actually). Looks like I am in the NOOB penalty box, so I cant respond to your PM - via PM, posting here at my own peril.
I am a NOOB here, and there are hundreds of folks that have much more knowledge that I do, no offense to anyone on this or any thread RE Oils, this is my opinion from doing my research and my own experience only. (I have about 200 pages on this thread and god knows how many on the pet thread to catch up.....)
I use my oil to soak cookies (couple of drops) for our 2 jacks, and they seem to do great with one a day. A bit expensive but worth all the health benefits they seem to be getting. I use the classic hemp 6x concentrated by Bluebird Botanicals. Its Firkin expensive, (hooman dose) but my relief from the neuropathy and the 8 hours of SLEEP every night since I started are worth the expense to me.
I am not sure how it compares with true CCO (from the folks here) as it is commercially prepared (and did I mention expensive) but it really works for me at this point, - until I can, or want to make my own. It does not get me high AT ALL (I vape flower to get that side) , and if you look at the lab analysis I posted you will see why. No side effects for me.
I believe that there are different benefits from the different constituents so I prefer to use something that has both the "A-chain" (unheated) as well as the heated constituents (carbed and decarbed) to get maximum benefits. (ie THC-A vs.THC / CBD-A vs.CBD etc......)
Also I believe that route of ingestion is important, as the liver metabolizes all of the components while vape (I don't smoke anything - NFS) sub-lingual and suppositories all deliver the components directly to the bloodstream vs edible which are metabolized in the liver before having any effects. (Damn funny story by KingstonRabbi about confusing the 2 routes that confirms the theory)
IMHO BOTH are important. Even though direct absorption (Vape/SL/S) are all eventually metabolized, they get a crack at the entire body before that happens. I have read a few research papers that discuss the process that I will post (have to find them as I didn't save when I read as I wasn't a member here yet) but even though its not fully understood (beneficial reactions) I truly believe the metabolism mechanics are important too. I am new to the grow side but have spent ENDLESS hours trying to understand the mechanics of our beloved plant, for selfish reasons at that point, but I think that this is the appropriate forum to share.
Hope this helps, may you find what you need to be pain free and sleep well!! - TBTT
Just FYI for Saralinni and TigerbydaTail, you have to have a 50 post count before you can Private Message other members. It's one of the rules of the site that help to keep spammers out of our PM boxes among other reasons.
Thank you SO MUCH. All of this is incredibly helpful.
So if I understand correctly, you're not using any cannabis, just the hemp? You're vaping and doing the sublingual of the hemp? Or the flower you vape is cannabis?
I'm only wondering, because I'm curious about using the two together. Not that I will be doing that, I'm just curious
I know that every hemp formulation is so different, because each and every company uses a different mechanism to make the CBD more absorbable (if they are reputable). And since I'm SO INCREDIBLY SENSITIVE to almost every supplement on the planet, I'm curious if the added things in my brand of hemp are the culprits for the heart rate issue.
I'm happy to hear that you don't have any bad side effects at all. May I ask if you had any anxiety that this helped take care of? Panic attacks?
The main reason I'm so interested in the hemp, too, is the legality. And since I know I will be traveling AND traveling tends to be a huge trigger for me, I'd be in absolute heaven if something worked. Flying, specifically, is what triggered my very first panic attack and is the biggest fear.
Thanks again for your help and recommendation.
SaraLinni, I see that you do have a profile picture in your profile. Pretty.
What you probably want is an Avatar. You can use that picture, but you'll probably have to use the upload or URL thing again.
That makes sense. I was wondering how you saw that. I thought only I could see it. I will definitely do that!Hi SaraLini -
Sorry for the tardy reply, I swear I sat down 5 times to write this only to be interrupted, finally.....
Yes I combine the 2 at night, need to vape (Canna) to get the non-A-Chains (heated) Have a look at the article in the link, as it explains some of the mechanics of metabolism, 1st pass/2nd pass, grapefruit effect etc. I find all of this stuff fascinating as it seems there are as many intricacies in consuming the plant as there is growing it. I do not have any issues with anxiety just neuropathy and the associated pain/numbness/etc that makes me not sleep.
It may help you to dial in any "effects" using CYP to block or enhance other supplements
If nothing else its educational!!!
TBTT
