Has anyone had experiencing using oil for public speaking prep? Wanted to know if it helped you feel better

I had no clue cbd could be used for massage but I was watching a video on this massage tool and the guy put cbd on his chest and started massaging his chest. He mentioned how this releases tension even more and I was like 👀. With Labor Day weekend few days away I’m thinking of making a purchase and see what happens just don’t know what exactly people use for massage

I help organise a hemp expo in Tokyo, so I read this part of the Japanese rules more closely than I otherwise would. No link and nothing to sell, just the numbers, because they are built differently from the ones that usually come up here.

Japan's revised Cannabis Control Act took effect on 12 December 2024. The old law regulated parts of the plant, so only mature stalks and seeds could be used. The new one regulates ingredients, and the number that matters is a residual delta-9 THC limit on the finished product rather than on the crop.

Set by cabinet order, in force the same day: oils and powders 10 ppm, aqueous solutions 0.1 ppm, everything else 1 ppm. 10 ppm is 0.001 percent.

A health ministry notice from 4 October 2024 worked through examples. CBD oil, hemp seed oil and cosmetic oils sit in the 10 ppm bucket, as do CBD powder and protein. Soft drinks, alcoholic drinks and lotions sit at 0.1 ppm. Same input material, and the oil is allowed a hundred times the residual the drink is, because the limit follows the format it is finally sold in.

Where people get tangled is 0.3 percent. That figure, in the US Farm Bill and on the plant side of the framework here, is a plant measure. It is not the product limit.

Semi-synthetics are handled separately and get scheduled as they turn up. HHC was made a designated substance under the pharmaceutical law in 2022, announced 7 March and prohibited from the 17th, ten days apart.

MJBizDaily reported at the proposal stage that more than 90 percent of products then on the Japanese market would fail these limits. That is industry reporting rather than a government figure, and I'd treat it that way.

Against a 0.1 ppm ceiling, an ND line on a COA says very little on its own, unless the report also gives the limit it was reading against.

I can't tell you how any of this plays out at a border. I'm not customs and I'm not a lawyer.

Do anyone know where i can get in Europe/germany good cbd extract Vapes?

I was looking to pick up a tincture of pure CBN and then something like a full spectrum CBD tincture so I could get the entourage effect synergy with the small amount of THC. The problem is the full spectrum ones I’ve found have 15mg of CBG too, and I’ve heard CBG can be stimulating. If I take 85mg of CBD, 15mg of CBG and 50mg of CBN is this a good combination for sleep? Or am I better off just using CBD isolate. I don’t ever use THC to get high, I just want the synergistic effects or else I would just take a hit with my isolates and I don’t want to do that. Will the CBG keep me up or will the added synergy from the 3mg of THC be worth whatever the CBG is doing to energize someone?

I’m new to cannabis, I don’t smoke or vape but I’ve recently been trying edibles to help with anxiety and sleep. Some have gotten me in a good mood and happy. So I wanted to know what edibles like capsules, gummies, etc would give me a happy / calm high? Moreso what THC / CBD /CBN percentage / ratio should I look for ? The most I’ve tried is 20mg thc which made me happy but anxious later on

hi all 🤗 not very well versed in weed but my boyfriend has a lot of issues sleeping and the only thing tbat worked for him were these sunmed gummies. i just went to buy him more, i think they were 8:16 ratio of thc/cbd and they’re not being shipped to cali anymore and he’s heartbroken. has tried many other things before i think is there any good alternatives to these?? i really want to help and surprise him with something that works but idk how to help.

I have been using this Alliant Hemp oil, which has a much higher dose than the drink: https://allianthemp.com/products/cbd-isolate-oil-drops I don't feel much after a 200mg dose.

But when I have a few of these Mighty Kind drinks, I feel great after a few, probs about 60mg:

Anyone have any thoughts? What gives?

I tried full spectrum and cbd isolate tincture. I started very low on 5 mg and progressed to 45mg on full, and 20mg on cbd isolate. Initially it seemed to relax me, but after some days both caused: mood swings, including rage; severe insomnia (couldn't sleep for days and fainted on the street) and worse anxiety.

A lot has happened, and more still needs to happen. We thought it might be helpful to provide our assessment of what’s going on/where things stand:

 What we know:

• The Senate passed the funding Continuing Resolution by a vote of 90-6-1 – a clear bipartisan majority.
• The Senate CR includes a  29-bridge for most of the hemp restrictions from Nov 12 to Dec 11.
• The Senate voted 61-32 to table, (effectively kill) Senator Budd’s amendment to strike the hemp extension from the CR.
• The Senate adjourned for recess and does not return until September 14.
• September 30 government funding runs out; if a CR is not passed and signed into law by that date – government shutdown - five weeks before the election.
• Both sides, (D & R) have made statements that indicate no one has an appetite for a government shutdown.

What happens now:

• For the CR to become law, the House and Senate ultimately have to approve the same text. The Senate-amended bill is now back in the House. If the House accepts the Senate version without changes, it can go straight to the President. If the House changes it, the Senate has to act again.
• The House returns from their recess on August 31^st – 30 days before government funding runs out.
• On August 13, the House Rules Chairwoman – Rep Virginia Foxx said: she expects the Senate-passed funding stopgap to clear her chamber in an expedited, bipartisan vote. She went on to say, ‘I think we can just put it on the floor because I think it will pass; She also said the CR could bypass her committee. This means several things: debate is limited to 40 minutes and floor amendments are not allowed and passage requires a two-thirds majority to pass.
• Representative Rosa DeLauro ranking Democrat on House Appropriations characterized the Senate CR as ‘a clear improvement over the House Republican continuing resolution.’
• The White House says that if the Senate bill reaches President Trump ‘in its current form,’ his senior advisers would recommend that he sign it. (Of note, there are several significant funding restrictions in the Senate version, in addition to the hemp extension. So this WH message is significant.)

What does all this mean – here’s what it suggests to us:

• When the House and Senate return, the mid-term election season will be in full swing.
• The commanding Senate vote – both the passage of the CR (90-6-1) and the denial of the Budd amendment (61-32) send a strong signal to the House – there is overwhelming a bipartisan support for the CR as written. (Our interpretation – the Senate is messaging - we’re done with this, we don’t want to see it again.)
• Given the statements by Reps Virginia Foxx(R) and Rosa DeLauro(D), we interpret their statements as – we’re also done with this, let’s pass it and get on to the election.
• There is also the calendar to consider – House returns Aug 31, has a brief Labor Day break; the Senate returns on Sep 14. To reopen the Senate CR over a 29-day hemp bridge, debate it, change it, and then force the Senate to act again after it returns September 14 — all before September 30 — is a massive lift. The hemp restrictions are law, only the effective date changes by 29 days.

Our bottom line read: momentum is with the 29-day extension. (Of course, death and taxes are the only certainties), but with so many moving parts and a very short window, we think the odds favor the House taking the Senate package with the hemp extension intact. So – where does that leave hemp?

• One political consequence of moving the hemp restrictions out 29 days – it removes most of the pressure of eliminating  an industry estimated around $28 billion, hundreds of thousands of jobs, and a market in which more than 50 million American adults report using CBD – beyond the election cycle. Some members will be voted out, others voted in for two or six year terms – the hemp debate gets diffused.
• On the flip side, December 11 means - exactly two weeks before Christmas/the holiday season, those jobs will be lost, people out of work, businesses shuting down - not a popular image in Washington.
• If the bridge gets signed, it’s not time to celebrate 29 days. It's about making sure Congress actually uses those days — and making sure hemp doesn't disappear from the conversation between signing and November 3.

That's what we think - let us know what you think.

I use to use it in the past to relax as I've had brain issues from a injury that make it hard to relax.

Last year I got a new brain injury from falling and my head hurts now from cbd.

I'm trying out ashwagandha now it's fine. But miss cbd... I used lazarus.

Hey guys was wondering if smoking some cbd with possibly trace levels of thc or not thc at all would help with my gut motility issues. I'm on day 11 of quitting but still feeling a lot of bloating and constipation

I've only used CBD gummies so far because they were the easiest option to start with, but now I'm wondering if I should switch to a tincture instead. Some evenings the gummies seem to help me relax, while other times I barely notice much of a difference.

For those who have tried both, was there a noticeable difference? Did the oil work faster or last longer? Was there a reason you ended up sticking with one over the other?

I'm mostly looking for something that's consistent and easy to fit into my evening routine, so I'd love to hear what ended up working best for everyone.

EDIT: Really appreciate everyone who replied. After reading through the recommendations, I decided to order a CBD tincture from Joy Organics.

I've been using it for the last several nights, and for me it's been much more consistent than the gummies I was taking before. It helps me relax in the evenings without leaving me feeling groggy the next morning, so I'm pretty happy I made the switch.

I have nerve pain and doc suggested me this. Doc said use 1 drop but 1 drop seems so low and it doesnt touch my pain. How should i use it?

Been smoking Redwood Reserves for almost a month bow and my sleep is so much better. For the first time in my life, I don't wake up feeling like I got hit by a truck in the morning. I've suffered with insomnia ever since I was a kid along with racing thoughts that would make it hard for my brain to shut off. Sometimes, i'd wake up so nauseous and even throw up because of how terrible my sleep was. I wanted a solution. I despise the feeling weed gives me. It actually makes my mind race more so I was a bit wary of this but I wanted something to smoke and have as a hobby to do, if that makes sense. I was previously terribly addicted to 7OH, an opiate like drug and wanted to switch to something much less harmful after being clean. A new "hobby". This is a total game changer.

Also, what I like about this is that it isn't harsh on my lungs. Weed makes me cough like hell and my asthma gets bad at times but I haven't coughed once while smoking these.

I deal with a lot of anxiety but I’m currently staying clean for a nursing drug test.

I didn’t realize there was a law coming into effect restricting CBD sales in California. I used to buy Lazarus naturals CBD + CBN to sleep and just ran out. To my horror it’s no longer sold. I have debilitating insomnia and use this nightly. I’m begging anyone who has a CBD + CBN alternative that I can purchase in California.

I’m located in Los Angeles and can pick up in-person too. I just figure there will be more options online.

Thank you

anyone have good recommendations for vapes containing zero thc and have passed a drug test before from smoking?

How many mg of CBD for back pain? I’ve tried 50mg and nothing really happened. Should I up it?

I've recently started using CBD flower mainly because I'm looking for something that can help with my back pain and sleeping better. A secondary goal is to reduce how much THC cannabis I smoke, since a significant part of the cannabis I used to smoke was also to help with those issues.

So far, I've tried flowers from Green Break, and honestly, I've been really happy with them. The quality, taste, appearance and effects have all been great. The only downside is that their higher-quality flowers are a bit expensive for me, usually around €4–7/g.

I'd therefore like to find something with a better quality/price ratio. I'm especially interested in good-quality indoor or hydroponic flowers, ideally with a relatively high CBD content. What matters most to me is finding something that has a good overall experience — good effects, taste, aroma and appearance — while being more affordable.

I'm based in Spain, Barcelona, but I'm happy to order online.

What brands, shops or specific strains would you recommend? And if you've tried Green Break, is there anything you consider better value for money?

Thanks!

A question specifically for any other chronic THC users on this sub: do you have any experience adding CBD to your daily 'weed diet' to mitigate or reduce THC tolerance?

I recently read this very interesting piece on CBD and how it performs/functions in combination with THC and CBG. https://somnesque.substack.com/p/how-chronic-thc-use-slowly-drives

The linked article suggests that adding 100mg to 200mg of CBD to my daily consumption of weed could be beneficial in various ways and also lower ones overall tolerance to THC.

I use THC daily for various reasons (I only dry vape flower, fwiw), and I enjoy the accompanying THC high. Unsurprisingly, I've developed a strong tolerance to THC and would like to get better effects from the THC I consume. I'm very curious if anyone on this sub has any real world experience that aligns with the material covered in this article? TIA for any replies.

I started ordering from them probably about 9 months ago. Love their CBD/CBG gummies! Friday I go to order and see they have been bought out and changed names to River Botanicals and are now selling Kratom, I’m hoping their products stay the same and they still ship to my state.

Anyone have any experience with the new company?
