I doubled the dose and took it up to twice a day. Not sure what full spectrum or isolate means. I says CBD Tincture on the label and the brand is Medterra.

So the problem with CBD is it is considered a supplement and not regulated by the FDA it is like a multiday vitamin you really do not know what you are getting and taking the companies word at face value. I was reading an article in Outside magazine that mentioned testing showing doses could be way off of what is written on the packaging (once again much like supplements). Also CBD is more of an anti-inflammatory and less of a pain reducer. My suggestion is to go to a Doctor that is licensed to prescribed medical marijuana and work out the doses that would be right for you and they style of application as well.

Here is a good consumer report article in regards to CBD: https://www.consumerreports.org/cbd/...oid-addiction/

Had a friend that stayed with me a decade ago back in California that had a medical card. It seemed to me watching him and trying it myself a couple times, by the time the pain level was down your ambition level went with it.
He experiment with all different kinds.

Tried a 40 mg edible ... too strong for me. The 20 mg betty's are perfect for me.

Bob - havent heard of Kratom until I read your post, looked it up, seems somewhat iffy. I honestly dont know a lot about the medical side of CBD, wish I did. I would perhaps try a different medium like a chewable? If you have full body aches then a patch probably isnt best.

Local grower Curio with a hybrid called "Guice" .. think Im going with that this week

I bought a huge bag of Kratom capsules yesterday. It seems to work as I was talking to the store owner about the product a good handful of people bought it saying it helped their pain. It seems to work for my bad back lessening the pain quite a bit, but yesterday I wasn't doing much today will be the test.

I took some too late and it did interfere with my already bad sleeping. I guess there are different types. I got a sample of the ones that are supposed to relax you. The large bag I bought were the green ones. I should know if there are bad side effects as my blood pressure is closely monitored and I get blood tests every 3 months.

We shall see how it goes long term. As most know a lot of things a person can quickly build a tolerance to.

Andrew Sadek (born November 22, 1993; believed to have died shortly after disappearing May 1, 2014), was a 20-year-old student at the North Dakota State College of Science (NDSCS) in Wahpeton, North Dakota, United States. Following an arrest in 2013 for felony charges of selling marijuana that legally could have led to a long prison sentence,[1] he agreed to work as a confidential informant (CI) for a local multi-jurisdictional law enforcement task force in exchange for having the charges dropped. Under police supervision, he bought more marijuana from other dealers around the NDSCS campus.

He was last seen leaving his dorm early on the morning of May 1, 2014. Almost two months later, his body was found in the Red River north of Breckenridge, Minnesota, adjacent to Wahpeton, with a gunshot wound to the head.[2]

While his family believes that he was murdered, the police labeled the case as a suicide in belief that he had killed himself to escape his role as a CI. However, the backpack that was attached to his body was filled with rocks and the weapon that was used for his death was never found, nor was there a suicide note.[3] The case is one of several where young people working as CIs have died. At his mother's behest, the state investigated the police handling of his case but found no serious concerns, although the task force did make minor changes in its procedures afterwards.[3] His parents have filed a lawsuit over the case, and backed changes to state law that would reduce penalties for marijuana possession on campus and protect CIs, much like a similar statute in Florida passed after the 2008 murder of Rachel Hoffman. In 2017 those changes were made.[4]

A Northern Irish documentary about the case, The Dakota Entrapment Tapes, premiered in 2020.

Legalize it already.

It blows my mind that in Maryland I can mobile order and just drive up to my dispensary and get handed a bag full of edibles and oils and flower worth hundreds of dollars by the nicest most friendly customer service youve ever seen. Pre-covid you wait in their lounge and it was the nicest most swank lounge ever.

the dichotomy is incomprehensible.

Im in Maryland and in Maryland you need a (very easy to get) medical card to go to a dispensary. In MD there are no end-arounds. if you want weed, you need a card.

In DC, i understand it is still illegal to sell so you need 1) a card or 2) to find a shop that does an end-around like pay $40 for your palm read and you get a free 1/8 as a gift.

Delivery in DC may be available without a card and seems like the best bet if youre not a card carrier.
