Real talk: has anyone used CBD and gotten tangible benefit from it?
THC is legal here in CA, and that definitely has an effect, but as much as I have messed around with CBD I don’t notice any effect at all on me, personally?
One thing I will warn you about: CBD definitely has that “grapefruit” thing going where it can profoundly impact the rate of uptake for other drugs / medicines in your system:
CBD is similar to grapefruit in that it also binds with those enzymes, but research suggests that it’s possibly even more potent because it binds in multiple parts of the gut and liver (grapefruit mainly affects enzymes within the small intestine). Once an enzyme has been inhibited, the effect isn’t immediately reversed. It can take days for enzyme function to return to baseline and start the process again.
This, I can 100% verify. And it was … not… a good time.
