Utah "approved" medicinal marijuana and they're leisurely discussing how things will be available. CBD is supposed to be available, but I'm worried if there's casual observation of those locations like there sometimes is at the state liquor stores. The Mormon Church really detests allowing liquor and "drugs" to be available without strict control.

CBD isn't supposed to be available in Ohio except at medical marijuana dispensaries (and there are just a handful of those), but I've heard that there are some stores selling it anyway. But it is legal to sell in Kentucky, and I can drive to Kentucky in like ten minutes, so I've been thinking about trying it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S didn't start making noise this morning until just before 8. That counts as sleeping late for us.

Pretty sure that's sleeping late for any parent.

Though there was a stretch in Emmett's late teens where he preferred getting 14 hours of sleep a night.

I've tried CBD (you can get it at lots of health food stores etc here in The People's Republic) but alas didn't have much effect at all that I could tell. Good way to spend $70 on a small bottle, though.

I just was chatting about medical marijuana with a fandom friend who's a regulatory attorney; she says that the studies really aren't in to support CBD for anything other than epilepsy. Which doesn't mean it can't work, but there's not a lot of scientific evidence yet.

But the big issue she mentioned was that because of the incredibly uncertain regulatory situation, there's no guarantee at the moment that you're actually getting CBD and if so how much, especially if you buy it online. So... be careful?

Utah is a headquarters for weird supplements and essential oils, as well as fraud and MLM, so I'm leery of trying to get CBD anywhere around here.

Yes, getting actual CBD oil at the dosage claimed can be a challenge. I get mine from a local store where I trust their supplement buyer (for no apparent reason other than that the store has been selling various supplements for years and seem to be doing it well?).

ETA: never has my tag line been more appropriate.

well I think I am stopping the CBD experiment after just one day. I had nightmares about losing my job last night. Random drug tests hanging over my head and not knowing how this would test I guess is more of a worry than I realized. I wonder if I can get some clarification from the company on it.
