I made this exact same thread (like identical title lol) in the opioid thread. In my experience if it's a high strength and you take a high dose, it DOES help somewhat.

Absolutely, CBD will for sure help. I just think a couple other cannabinoids, in addition to CBD, would help more. I've never been through opiate withdrawals but I've been around the block with benzo's more times than I can count, and the high that weed brings, while it doesn't compare to Xanax in the slightest, made detoxing so much more bearable.
I know opiate- and benzo' withdrawals are two different breeds and difficult to compare, but it's really my only insight into this topic.

I'm not too sure it's overpriced because I've seen TV shows where they make the concentrates etc. and it takes a hell of a lot of bud to make even a little CBD oil. I understand trendy and all but at best it may be a combination of the two (what percentage to which, I have no idea). I figure, if it works for you and you can afford it, then go for it. If not, it clearly makes no sense on several levels, so that should be an easy decision one way or another,

Well its legal in the UK. So that obviously means its fuckin useless...

Not so, since it’s became legal in the states my girlfriend has had no clue I been smoking weed for months now.

I’d be careful with isolate. It’s the most useless version of CBD. Which says a lot
I have found a CBD isolate (crystal CBD) connect in Colorado which is cheap as hell. I use a meth pipe to roll the oil created from heating the crystals, which gives big cloudsCBD from hemp is inferior though. I wish I had a cheap connect for CBD from buds, but I guess we do, in that you can go buy a gram of AC/DC or Harlequin shatter. That is prob the cheapest best way to do it, just buy a gram for X or X bucks and pop it in your vape pen.

It’s pretty cheap. Ounces of bud are ALOT cheaper than thc weed. And isolate is pretty cheap too especially if you buy bulk.
At does above thirty mf at a time helps.loads with drug withdrawals. Especiasllt opiates. It alsl pptentiates most opiates. Its a god send for restless leg syndrome and great for anxiety. I always take the samples st the pharmacy even tgough i buy it. Shame in the uk its no thc. Whar dose should i use to come off o oxycodone i.am.on.methsdone. I also want to come off valium
From what I've gleaned, CBD has to have at least 0.1% THC or it's not CBD anymore. I was curious about this because there's now a snuff with cannabidiol. My feeling with this though is that it has to build up in your system in order to work
I bet tinctures would work but other than that all other forms seem pointless to me. Hash oil was my favorite because of the CBD in it, but it was taken off the market here after less than a year

Yes, You are right it's great for anxiety.

THC and CBD are different structures, what sort of a claim is this? CBD would be likely to contain some THC but it's not a requirement.
Conversion of CBD to THC is not difficult at all.

Anything a layperson can do at home with a batch of CBD bud? Or is this something you can do Sekio?

All that you really need is to get the CBD into intimate contact with an acidic compound of some sort to act as a catalyst. One process from waay back ("Dr Atomic's Marijuana Multiplier") accomplished this by first effectively making hash oil and extracting the cannabinoids, then dissolving them in methanol or high proof ethanol, adding a small amount of sulfuric acid, and heating for some time. The alcohol is removed, and naptha is added instead, then some sodium bicarbonate in water is added to neutralize and remove the sulfuric acid from before, and the naptha layer is removed, which results in hash oil with CBD converted into various isomers of THC (mostly dela8THC and delta9THC). This could be reapplied to the "extracted" bud and, viola...
I think this could be simplified though. Instead of the solvent swap and all that, after removing maybe 50% the alcohol, simply add some sodium carbonate or calcium carbonate, which will react to form insoluble salts of sodium bicarbonate and sodium bi sulfate, which can be filtered out of the alcohol solution. Then there's one solvent instead of two, and saves time too.

Salutations Hezman94,
Experimentation with the cannabinoïds spectrum may prove beneficial but it does nothing to fix quite a few serious issues assimilable to "VILIFICATION", to simplify.
So, SMOKING is not just exposing users to chronic self-poisoning: it's also generating additional economical stress by wasting noble molecules. The eventual contamination of dry flowers with truly-addictive tobacco/nicotine is one other shocking vector to avoid! ... As for "tolerance" issues i vaguely recall these seemed worse when i was a young smoker myself and i abused its "roller coaster" features. The difference between being slave to a most ellusive "perfect toke" and today resides in my sense of regained freedom, source of serenity, instead of anxiety.
IMO the cigarette/"joint" types of delivery somewhat compare to drinking alcohol directy from a 40 oz bottle with no glasses (nor clocks...) around, this consumption method & ritual spontaneously denies self-awareness until it's far too late to mind about dosing. Alternately my customized pipe multiplies opportunities to leave it aside and forget it; each puff is a satisfying trade-off between aroma/taste appreciation and economy (on average i evaluated 1 single toke to "cost" only 20 ~ 30 mg of shredded dry flower). It even possible to blend fresh + ABV together to vary the range of experiences, etc. No regrets but i do wish i had known many decades earlier, though it's not clear if i would have believed it feasable or even realistic.
Good day, have fun!! ☮
