CBD Isolate report

[VitaMan]

Thanks for the info @briman,

Your findings are similar to mine briman, except I didn't really notice a taste. I am curious about the natural flavors of hemp shatter...

I haven't greened out in years, good to know if it ever happens again. I have tamed edgy sativas by blending CBD strains into them, saving me from wasting my purchase or having anxiety.

Have you noticed any changes to your THC tolerance in the month since you began to use CBD isolate? Starting the day with CBD, it seems to take fewer tokes later on to get real high! Then again, they had really strong weed last time at the collective so I better hold off until there are more experiences.

I am curious about the natural flavors of hemp shatter..

natural hemp shatter has a slight cherry cough syrup flavor to it.

I bet I went to your friends website. I remember the 10 acres of hemp. Unfortunately, the US suppliers I checked out won't ship to Canada. Too bad, it's $98gr here. I think it is sourced from Europe, which could be why.

Here are a list of sites to check out, that should ship to Canada!!
best prices I have found are from the CBDistillery...

There is a direct correlation with cbd and thc. I have found on the higher thc, low cbd, it paranoids you a bit. I find that it does indeed round out to a perfect high, no matter what the strain, with a bit of cbd. Yes, a few less tokes on the canna to hit that high, but functional. I would suggest having a gram on hand for anyone, not only wanting to try it, but I have a tendency to over indulge on edibles and have gotten way to high, and there is no going back with edibles. With cbd crystals, it can bring you down to a functional level with one good vape on the cbd!! its a nice alternative to laying on the living room floor, knowing you are in for a ride!
No, I have not built up a tolerance yet to cbd. I usually hit a concentrate pen with rosin and a bit of cbd in it and have not deviated from my usual vape pen full. I am not a daily user, 2-3 times a week for pain management. I just know I like having the cbd crystals/slabs and hash on hand for the times where I want the pain relief and dont want to get baked.

Thanks briman. Yeah, keep some CBD on hand like naloxone for opiates.

I was thinking lowered tolerance to THC, not higher tolerance to CBD. So, maybe it wasn't my imagination after all, my weed may go a little farther. I was wondering about frequency for the isolate. I may try every other day to start and see how that serves me.

Yes, that has been my observation as well, a decent amount of CBD in a strain makes for a smooth experience plus better pain reduction. So far, most of the indica's have had a decent CBD profile. It is sativa's that I am most cautious with. Durban, JackH, Trainwreck, Amnesia, Barney's LSD are safe If they have 0.7 or better CBD.

Having some isolate nearby makes gambling on sativas easier to take. (Anxiety about anxiety from weed!) When I grew out some SourD seeds last year, one plant didn't bother me at all, but the other one was given out as gifts and made into salve. CBD Isolate would have saved me some dope.... but my friends jars would be a little poorer ;-}

You are full of resources, briman! I am going to check these out today. THANKX!!

If the price is right, I could pick up a larger amount, just in case they schedule CBD and force it underground. Or maybe I am paranoid and need another dose.

So far, comparing mg to mg, vaping isolate seems more efficient than sublingual oil. This half-gram might last me a while!

 

[VitaMan]

There seems to be dose-dependent effects, in addition to it's interactions with and entourage. A big dose would fix paranoia, but for me little nudges of CBD seem to have a different effect.

I dipped into some top shelf Durban, thinking I could get a few things done. Started to, and went back for another taste :-p . I was so high and motivated and loving the world, I could clean every closet pain free, when I had the idea to nudge the CBD up a little more and blend the experience .

So much for motivation. But I am not complaining. I feel like I am on a very narcotic GDP shatter, but with Durban highlights. I could daydream or I could do stuff in a dreamy way with no quality assured. Another hit of CBD would change the experience again, perhaps bringing me down. I am going to enjoy it as is, but this particular combination is be best for having a remote control, extra cushions, and some chips handy. I'll have a bit more sativa this afternoon and get to my chores.

I wonder what the blending possibilities could be, from an experience perspective...

best prices I have found are from the CBDistillery.../

The best product looks like the slab. Cheap and easy to work with. Break a piece off, drop it in. Too bad they don't ship outside US.

Thanks for the links. The others companies will ship here, and with shipping/exchange rates might still be be a good deal.

I bet the terpine products would attract attention at the border, but they do look interesting!

Not to worry about smells on the terpines and shipping!! Empire Wellness came in the smelly proof packaging!! Phytodabs ships their isolates in their galss containers and put into a gram siplack and you cant smell them through the packaging either. Yeah, I got the terpines too, so I can tailor a few plain isolates to the flavors of weed I like! I too have found the plain isolates a little harsh, but with 1 drop of terpines in a gram of isloates or shatter, is enough and it mellows it out a bit. Plus, you can use the terpines in joints, bowls and put a drop on some concentrates or mix your concentrates with your flavor of personal picked terpine isolates, for a low temp dab flavor that is out of this world!! I like hitting the plain isolates or crumble hash about an hour before bed and sleep like a baby!
Empire wellness packaging, you cant smell anything, until you rip the pack open, same with Phytodabs!! No problem with shipping for smell. It doesnt even smell like weed, like smelling essential oils, but more robust! If you get any one from empire wellness, I suggest the lemon haze and the crumble hash! NO SMELL through this packaging!
Empire Wellness isolate is harsh to my lungs and throat. Phytodabs is more smooth. I have not tried any product from the CBDistillery....Yet.

Here is some hash, made by cloudn9ine, the same manufacturer of the syrup I posted earlier. Its expensive, but with the dosing, it would last a long time! 850mg all in 1 gram of hash. A bit expensive at $129.95USD, but with coupon code, it took 25.99 off the total price.

 

[VitaMan]

Good to know about the packaging. If I got terps, it would probably be along the lines of the GDP.

Tobi at Phytodabs confirmed they ship to Canada for $25, so I save money even on the 2 gram pack.

Does anyone know about it's stability or shelf life?
