CBD and THC: dose tolerance?

[180]

Howdy folks, I have a question for those of you who consume cannabis for THC, and also use CBD products.

I consume a fair amount of THC; A couple of vaporizer loads a day, plus social smoking. Friends who do not consume as much THC have been telling me about benefits of CBD, which I had never tried until last night. They say it calms them down, helps them sleep better, etc.

Well, I tried a 30mg cap of CBD oil last night before bed and... nothing. I didn't feel sleepy (in fact I stayed up late reading), didn't sleep very well, and had no lingering effects this morning.

I'm wondering if my relatively high tolerance to THC is affecting how I react (or don't) to the CBD. Any insights?

Yeah what Big says. I take a half dropper full of CBD oil which is 500mg of CBD in a 30ml bottle. I do this every day just for general health and stimulating the endocannabinoid system.

30mg would be a low dose. You might titrate up starting with two next time. You can't OD on it.

Where CBD really shines for me, is in a topical for local pains.

CBD keeps me up as well as well as buzz kill

I only use in the morning ... if the thc isnt doing it

my personal philosophy if a person gets the most benefit from using the whole bud, not just parts of the compounds found in the bud

^^^ I agree and prefer my flowers, but I don't grow any high-CDB strains, so a sweet lady gave me some oil caps to try. I'll give it a shot.

I know a couple regular tokers that love the CBD lotions for achy pains. Evidently they feel it works wonders for general pain relief...like when you're sore from work.
