CBD - current status ?

[BuzzinSATX]

Benadryl? Seems to be the same ingredient in those sleep aides.

Yes...The active ingredient is the same...same with the H-E-B brand

It's like everything, I got used to Benadryl, that would knock me out. Now it doesn't work.

Been using Lazarus Naturals for about 2 months. After a couple of days no 'ritis..Sleep better, more joint mobility. It taste bad but not for long. (OCC) material. Will find out later this month if it has effected any blood work.

++++ For Lazarus Naturals. I've been using them for years.

1. I really don't like the unflavored High Potency Tincture... It's nasty no matter what I put it in.
2. The Full Plant tinctures have a bit of THC in them, makes me feel a bit strange, but not high like with MJ.
3. I've tried the no THC tincture and found it's not as good. At least, not for me.
4. The capsules work well but are very expensive.
5. The balms have been wonderful relief for breakthru pain of arthritis. Rub some on, wait 15min for effect. Then redose a bit later.
6. Buy only from sources that supply full plant tinctures, and have 3rd party labs that verify quantity of CBD in the product. The off the shelf products in most stores, even health product stores, is generally garbage with very little CBD in them.

CBD has become more accepted and very few LE agencies remain uninformed that it is not getting people stoned. (BTW, I tried some cannabis chocolate for neck pain (legal here, VA cut me off from the Vicodin I was using intermittently to control neck spasms)... whoa, I won't do that again!!!)

3 week report.
Lazarus Naturals high potency classic full spectrum cbd tincture
Put 0.50 mls under the tongue before bed (1x / day)
Make an ugly face for a quite while since it is BAD tasting

No noticeable results, well a few minutes of a loopy feeling, but certainly not helping my insomnia, up 3 or 4 times a night, sometimes for an hour each time

They say serving size is twice the amount I've been using so I think I'll try a full 1 ml tonight, no can do, 0.75 ml it will be...

I have 320 irrigated acres and some cbd producers wanted to lease it. They backed out. I believe the problem was that I asked questions that caught them in lies. I might be a redneck, but not a stupid 1!

I have a friend that makes the stuff and wants me to try it for my severe neck pains. I might try it? Capsule form. The person makes liquid and gummi forms also.

I fractured a knee in a boating accident ~5 years ago. When I walk a lot carrying heavy stuff it hurts - A LOT! I've tried CBD internal and had zero positive results. Soooo... when someone posted on here about Lazarus Naturals I figured I'd try the topical balm and it too zeroed on the "made a difference" scale. Had it not been for the veterans discount I would never have given it a shot. In both instances I purchased the highest CBD content offered. I'll use the balm until it's gone as the massaging effect seems to help some but I'd get the same results using Walmart brand hand lotion. On the Lazarus Naturals site I completed the "Product Finder" form and all they suggested were topical products for joint/muscle pain. I dunno... it appears to work for some folks but for me - not so much.

We quit using any benadryl or any of that family of products. Look it up, it is linked to dementia in pretty convincing studies.

I am truly sorry to hear about your insomnia. Have you had anyone diagnose the cause? Is it pain? Anxiety? Not asking you to disclose your personal info...just hope you understand the root cause of your issues.

I am blessed to sleep through most nights, and a bad night for me is to wake up once or twice and stay awake for 10 minutes...unless I'm stressed about stuff...then I may have issues and wake up in the middle of the night and have the sweats.

But I've figured out how to solve my problem when that happens. Not sure if you want to hear this or not, but I'll give it to you anyway.....I pray...and it works!

I have always been a Christian and believer, but never great at praying. But when I cannot sleep, I talk to the Lord...and when He's heard enough from me...He puts me to sleep and it's almost always a good, solid sleep.

Can't hurt...doesn't cost a cent...and it always works when done properly (honestly)....at least for me.

Here is another possibility... About 4 years ago I could never sleep more that 1-2 hours in a single session. It was probably the worst period in my life - thus far. I'd get up, get dressed, walk for miles thinking maybe I could wear myself out. Problem was I was already working 10 hour days - I was exhausted. I tried OTC sleeping aids. At one point I even went back to drinking alcohol. That simply compounded the problem. If you've never been where, no matter how tired you are, you can't get real meaningful sleep over long periods of time you simply can not imagine the effects it has on you after 6 months or so. It ain't pretty!

Told my cardiologist I was having problems sleeping and he referred me to a sleep specialist. Well of course they tried to diagnose the problem as a sleep disorder - which it was not. One trip to the sleep specialist was all I did.

At this period in time I was also struggling with cramps in my legs. I must'a drank 50 gallons of pickle juice. It worked so I did it.

Went to a general practitioner who directed me to a Nurse Practitioner. The NP sent me to the lab for blood work. Went back the next day for the results. First thing the NP asked was "Have you ever been diagnosed for Iron deficiency Anemia?
Nope, not until just now.

She sent me to a Hematologist and over the next couple of weeks I would go and get IV drips of iron, and other things but I don't recall exactly what. I would go in twice a week I think. After about a week my life returned to normal, well about as normal as my life is apt to get. I got back the ability to sleep through the night. Cramps went away. Life is good.

I tried some expensive $125 for a tiny bottle of drops type crap for my knee issues. Nada but it did raise my blood pressure. Not good!

There are many different causes for insomnia. I think mine stemmed from working crazy shifts many years ago and being on call 24/7 for work. Add in working 60 to 80 hour work weeks, probably didn't help either.

Old age is listed as one of the main causes. That is the reason I use. Works pretty well although I just finished 7 1/2 hours of sleep, not counting a pee break.

The only time I see 7.5 hours of sleep is when I'm just about near death! On a good night, I might get 3 to 4 hours, but usually it's about 2 to 3 hours if I'm lucky.

Boy that's a shame and I mean it. Night before was only 5 but yesterday I unloaded a tree from my pu at the county site, mowed, edged, swept and blew the front yard so maybe that helped. Oh yes, one Shiner.

Only time I will get 6-7 hours straight is, when I'm back on my walking schedule (1hr./per day, x3-4 times a week). Also, have to make sure I don't drink anything an hour or two before going to bed. If I've had a few beers in the evening, I know I'm going to be up 2-3 times that night.

I have just learned to live with it. Sometimes, I am lucky and am able to get a short nap in the afternoon, maybe one in the late morning. One thing that I have learned in dealing with the insomnia, is if I can't sleep, I at least try and relax as much as possible, with reading, listening to music, watching informative videos on YT, or posting on the forum.

Curious about the questions you asked that made them back out.

Pricing, control and payment! They cut and use the whole plant(above ground)= no big deal? I have scales to weigh trucks in and out, so I know how much gets removed. They have a plane and I have an private runway (seems good? Right!). Through questioning 1 of them revealed info he probably should not have as in they control 3 sides of it or tried too? It would've been good money and I wasn't greedy, but reasonable!
