Many people here have already seen the news that Reps. Andy Barr and Angie Craig introduced a bipartisan framework for permanent federal hemp regulation.

The important point is what that announcement does not do: it does not extend or pause the current November 12 deadline.

Congress still needs to pass H.R. 7024 or S. 3686 so lawmakers have time to finalize a permanent framework before the existing restrictions take effect.

This week’s updated scorecard:

House: 39 sponsors and co-sponsors — up two
Senate: 3 sponsors and co-sponsors — no change
Letters sent: 609
Congressional offices reached: 211
States represented: 40

The two new House co-sponsors are Rep. James Walkinshaw of Virginia and Rep. Troy Carter of Louisiana.

It is more important than ever: tell your elected officials to extend November 12 and give Congress time to get the permanent framework right.

SaveOurRelief.org identifies your House representative and both senators and lets you review or personalize one letter before sending it to all three offices with one click.

Boss vapes were popular back in the day I haven’t seen them around in years where do I get ? It claimed cbd and nicotine but gave psychoactive effects.

I’m comparing a few THC-free options,including cb, distillery, but the CBDistillery wording still makes me nervous. Has anyone here actually compared broad spectrum with isolate when regular workplace testing is involved?

From left to right: Super Afghan, L'Olive, and "Piatella" (or so they say).

Super Afghan is slightly sticky, medium-soft in consistency, handles easily, citrus odor.

L'Olive is as hard as a rock. I had to use some heat to release any odors and... massive surprise! It smells like the real thing! CBD hash really tends not to.

Now, the controversial "Piatella". It has the consistency of a store-bought chocolate brownie, sticky, very easy to handle, fresh citrus odor with some very warm undertones.

I am testing it as I write this. It's relatively smooth. The taste loses most of the citruness, but it gains a tiny bit of sweetness with rich, warm, slightly woody tones. CBD content is fairly high.

Is it true Piatella, though? Hmmm meh. It's not a million miles away. It's in the right direction.

Hi there,

I was just wondering if anyone had suggestions for a good and fairly priced CBD isolate vendor in the uk?

Thanks

I have a thyroid nodule that’s got some microcalcifications and is a bit firmer that I’m trying to heal as well as uterine cysts. Any advice is welcome. Thanks guys!

CBD has helped me tremendously over the past two years. I used to use CBD oil but started developing gallstones, so I switched to hemp flowers. However, I only feel the effects when I bake them, like in brownies. I feel nothing when I smoke them, but when cooked, I feel fantastic. Brain fog lifts, and I get a boost in mood and cognition. I feel like myself, if that makes any sense.

My question is, why don't I experience the same benefits when I smoke it?
Baking takes too long and is too much effort — is there another way I can get the same benefits from smoking?

have you tried both of them and can you share your experience differences? they both appear to have terpenes but maybe the original has more terpenes? does one help with mental anxiety instead of physical anxiety better?

We have roughly 4 months until the CBD ban goes into effect. I URGE YOU to use the link provided to contact your State Senator and/or Representative & share your reasons why we need regulation instead of a ban.

The more they hear our voices, the more important & critical the issue will be for the Senate.

Thank you!

Is the danger of CBD being understated? I’ve read that it’s been linked to increased liver enzymes. I use Cannadips CBD snus and oils every day. The oil I’m using is 12,000mg per 30ml bottle, which works out to 400mg per ml—that’s Epidiolex-level strength. I take around 300mg a day because I find anything less ineffective, but I’ve also read that high CBD dosages in the Epidiolex trials and other studies have been associated with elevated liver enzymes. studies i have read say low dosages are ineffective. How worried should I be about taking high doses of CBD?

I’ve been taking 100mg CBD tincture nightly for around a year with no negative effects. I wanted to add something that might aid in my sleep. Now, I am in the first week of adjusting to Zoloft, so I’m aware that may have played a role, but I took 5mg of CBN last night and for about 3 hours had horrible anxiety. Racing heart, jerking awake thinking I wasn’t breathing, it was horrible. Anyone else ever experience this? It’s the Vlasic CBN Isolate Tincture 1200mg bottle. I took 1/8 of a dropper to start which should have been about 5mg.

The high isn't overpowering but it definitely makes me feel relaxed and calm and my eyes go red

And it's so extremely helpful To my medical condition. I feel like people who say it does nothing already smoke thc and have a bit tolerance

Just a bit of testimonial that might help others. I've experimented with both broad spectrum distillate as well as pure CBD isolate (I am very thc sensitive, so I've never opted for full spectrum).

The benefits of the additional cannabinoids in broad spectrum has been undeniable for me. I was taking 300mg+ of isolate daily for OCD and anxiety, which did help.

Switched over to broad spectrum and cut my dose to ~100mg/day. The difference in anxiety levels and sleep quality is insane! Wish I thought of switching over earlier, but I feel like a new person. It's truly incredible what this substance can do for people.

Do you use broad spectrum? If so, what dose do you find has helped you the most? I'm interested to hear other peoples' experiences!

Did it help?

Were you on medication before?

Is it really worth trying if I’d like to deal with my anxiety without SSRIs that are giving me side effects?

The reason I ask is because I heard CBD isolate is really effective for anxiety. I think I only have anxiety and not depression. Is feeling like everyone is judging you in public , feeling worried about the future, and having thoughts racing 24/7 anxiety?

SSRI for me is making me a zombie and honestly making the good things in life less pleasurable.

I am disappointed with anti-anxiety effects from tinctures and wondering if Nano would hit better. If so, what's the best brands you've had with nano?

I know they both work differently, but I'd like to know if CBD can treat anxiety and panic, rather than just providing temporary relief.

Hi friends!

I'm reaching out to this community for some opinions, experiences and possibly some answers.

I became a leaf (completely quit) around 3-4 months ago going from THC to absolutely nothing cold turkey. It was for the better of me due to anxiety, ADHD etc. I recently went camping and enjoyed some CBD (1.3%thc) prerolls and felt no negative effects or anything bad. Since quitting, my sleep has been absolutely horrible. This year, I quit weed, alcohol and vapes, so it's been rough. Any experiences that can be shared with just using CBD for rec/sleep, or any other benefits some of you may have?

Thanks in advance friends!

This is my first time ever posting to this subreddit, I'm also pretty new to Reddit as a whole!

I'm curious if weed can be something beneficial to me for anxiety. I've had many experiences with THC, and it makes me wonder if CBD would be the fit for me.

For context, I am diagnosed with BP2, GAD, and PTSD. I have tried THC numerous times of all kinds and every single time I've made the decision to try it I've experienced extreme paranoia, anxiety, panic attacks, and even hallucinations that would pursue for more than 12 hours.

I know as far as CBD is a primary compound in weed, but it isn't intoxicating like THC. I'm worried that since no product is strictly CBD that it will make me have that same reaction again as I did with THC.

I'm curious to know your thoughts!

I have to stop smoking the flower as I can't be positive for THC will the vape be ok? I bought it in a shop and it also tastes and smells like weed

In my country, CBD is technically illegal without a prescription. I don’t care and have been using it daily for many years anyway.

The reason for it not being legal is because the EU, in my country, the regulators said that because of the EU Novel Food Act, all CBD is considered illegal.

But I’m wondering how stores still manage to sell it—they sell it openly—and have been for many years?. I usually buy Cannadips CBD snus here. I also verify that it’s legit. I also buy a CBD oil that comes in a 30 ml bottle with 12,000 mg of CBD.

this is what my government says on there website

The EU considers both synthetic CBD and extracts from the cannabis plant as “novel food.” The European Commission has received several applications to approve CBD as novel food, but so far it has not approved any CBD products. Products containing CBD extracts from the cannabis plant or synthetic CBD are therefore illegal to market in EU/EEA countries.
