CBD strain effects.

Hi all,

Im currently going through withdrawal (yes, it is real) been smoking for 5 months straight and now im out of weed until next harvest. I was overdoing it, smoking 5 joints a day, sometimes 6.

Im suffering from insomnia and irritability. Today is my sixth day without smoking and im feeling better, but I don't want to experience this again. Last night I was rolling in my bed trying to sleep until 7 AM and I went to bed at 3AM. I already have enough problems with sleeping but I don't want to quit smoking completely. Growing cannabis is a lot of fun and I don't want to stop.

I've heard that CBD strains don't cause withdrawal symptoms or are very mild. Im also looking to not get stoned as im a programmer and I need to stay focused.

Is this true? Has anyone experienced withdrawal symptoms from CBD strains?

Also, is it true that you don't get high with CBD strains?

Has anyone tried hurkle by tga subcool? I've heard mixed reviews.

Peace.

Got this about to start daily regiments hope it helps with insomnia haven't tried hurkle I'd like to grow it out I know it's got querkle in it I wonder if the flavor comes thrue

For your sleep issues you should try edibles, I use coconut oil caps and they last about 10 hours, sleep like a baby on them. Smoking alone didn't work nearly as well as edibles. I run a the company and don't smoke during the day, a cap of my coconut oil and a few hits on a pipe or vape at night.

As far as the effects, possibly with some of those CBD drops, you may not get as high. But if you're looking for something to smoke that's 100% or close CBD only, you'll need to do a lot of pheno hunting through any of the CBD strains to find one. If you have access to known clones that are nearly all CBD you'd be much better off than trying to find one in seed form.

I had no idea about coconut oil. I've been searching in google but can't find info about coconut oil helping with insomnia. The one I found helps to lose weight and reduce cholesterol, but doesn't mention anything about insomnia.

Been looking at CBD Crew Strains, it seems they are pretty reliable with CBD strains. Hurkle also has good reviews. Im looking for a strain that gives a very, very mild buzz but doesn't get you stoned. My main priority is to not get withdrawal symptoms when I take a break. It gets pretty nasty.

Thanks

Sorry a little confusing, I meant coconut oil infused with sift from my popcorn/trim. It's an edible like doing brownies and the like. I use sift to get a more consistent and easier to measure/dose the pills. I make them as low as 20mg for my GF that doesn't like to get high but likes to use them as a sleeping pill (she doesn't smoke at all so her tolerance is super low). I make mine typically in the 75-80mg range. Here's a recipe I use and batch of caps ready to go.

Depends on the ratio of cbd to thc but typical that will give you a very light buzz assuming there's still more thc than cbd. It will help you sleep and dream, you'll feel focused/calm.

That's exactly what I want, a focused light relaxing effect ^^

If your brain feels burnt out from all the thc, a high cbd strain will reverse that very quickly.

Taking cbd capsules and using cbd oil maybe it will balance out the high powred strains

Hey no problem. No, I had tried making them with ground up bud/trim and found they weren't potent enough nor consistent. I've made butter with trim but don't always want to eat something and not a sweet tooth so that wasn't a good option for me. I landed on these caps using sift due to the more consistent dosage, ability to easily blend multiple strains, and just all-around easy and fast processing.

You could probably do them with hash if you dried it out enough and crushed it into powder (but then again, that's essentially sift). The sift makes it the easiest there as well, mixes with no issues with the coco oil.

i decarb QWISO oil and/or BHO shatter to make cannabutter. i also mix it with coconut oil and melted down hersheys chocolate bars to pour into candy molds.

the oil and/or shatter after decarb mix well with the coconut oil at 225 in the oven so it should work with the caps too, i think. next time i harvest, i need to try.

Worth a try, dosage should be pretty close as well. As long as you cap them while it's still warm they should mix well and cap relatively easy. I'm lazy and don't smoke much in the form of concentrates so I found the sift the easiest/quickest route for my needs. But any concentrate that can mix with the coco-oil should work just fine.

I believe Ruby Doobie of solo farms said that melting down already molded candy (Starburst, Kit Kats, Hershey bars) will cause a release of small amounts of poison from the powdery layer outside the candy used to keep them good for long periods. I would definitely look up etsy or Pinterest for homemade chocolate recipes and then mold it from there. Will be a lot safer for patients, if you have any !

I know. Molded candy as in candy that has already been shaped by the use of a mold to pour the liquid into and cool into it's desired shape. Not that you were using moldy candy and melting it down. Sorry about how that was worded.

so if i bought a kit-kat and it melted, but i put in the freezer and then ate it anyway. i'm ingesting poison. i am gonna say thanks, but i am not buying that. too many candy companies would be getting sued.

With respect to the OP I will just end it here, in response to them being sued candy companies don't intend for you to melt their product nor do they intend for them to melt. The idea is to eat them quickly before they melt. I am not knocking your method at all, if it works for you it works. Maybe I am wrong about the powder and heat thing, I believe it causes cancer over periods of time not actually "poison" you. I have not took a college baking or cooking class yet so I can't say for sure. Sorry Elfo!!

Hey you can continue the discussion no problem, this thread was dead anyway.

My hurkle is at day 38 of flowering and getting really frosty. I have discovered one pheno with a really strong vanilla smell. Im going to keep it. I never had any CBD strains but this one. I also have my Hurkle male ready to pollinate a Dinamed CBD plant which is 0% - 1% THC. I hope I can get my own mix of medicinal seeds this way, I will test the CBD from my own cross.
