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.
The stuff I bought is Hempsy brand. [link]
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.
Anxiety is exhausting, even if not having full on attacks.
That sounds like an awful night and it sucks that you had it
That was a very exciting football/soccer game!
Indeed! Go USA! Go my queer Megan Rapinoe! And Rose Lavelle!
Timelies all!
Back from the supermarket. Remembering why shopping with Mr. S is not the best idea.

This is true of all herbal supplements (regulatory loopholes yay), but yeah, I would be extra careful about something as relatively new to market as CBD products.
Guess who dropped two kids off at camp this morning and 2 hours later got a call that one of them (the 8 year-old) has lice? If you guessed THIS MOTHER OF THE YEAR you would be correct! Fortunately they gave me the option to pay to have her treated there, which isn't cheap, but the other option would have had us turning around and making the entire 200-mile round trip again, which, NOPE.
The 12 year-old is being particularly tween-y right now, and was furious at us for taking him on vacation (to a place we'd never been before, with some old friends we haven't seen in a while) and then for taking him home (for about 36 hours while we washed and packed for camp) and then for taking him away from home (to the summer camp he's attended and loved for the past 4 years). On the one hand, I'm proud of him for being so openly emotional and I hope he holds onto that sensitivity into adulthood. On the other hand, SO MUCH EMOTING OMGSTOP YOU ARE TWELVE YOUR REAL PROBLEMS HAVE NOT YET EVEN STARTED YOUNG MAN.
