Did anyone have any positive results with CBD products? (feddit.de)

Not too long ago, regulations on CBD changed in Germany leading to a plethora of products containing it. As someone who occasionally needs pain medication, I tried some of the products to avoid regular pain killers (ibu). Especially on days with lighter pain, I wished for an alternative to the sledgehammer meds. But I was left standing in the rain. I didn't feel any effect. That's why I would love to hear from your experiments and experience.

You can't think about what you feel; you have to think about what you don't feel. What's gone or lessened - anxiety, irritability, general discomfort, insomnia, etc.? Also, you have to be careful where you get it. For oils i like Lazarus naturals and Hoku Seed Co. Not sure if either so outside the US. It may take a bit for youto get max benefit from it - almost the inverse of thc tolerance.

Thank you! As a human, I'm excellent in leaving behind what bugs me in an unpleasant way until it hurts on a level I cannot ignore.

The thing with THC tolerance is also interesting. Does a CBD/THC mixture remain equally effective of the percepted effects of both constituents have mirrored tolerance/effect characteristics?

It does for me, but I use pretty small amounts and not every day. Also, i have flower in all different strengths and i mix it up a lot. My son takes two hits on a 1:1 CBD:THC four times per day and says that amount works for him without needing to increase.
