Hemp doesn't contain much in the way of active ingredients which is why it is hemp and not cannabis.

It's sold as a CBD oil with a CBD amount per serving (1.7mg per 0.5ml). Surely even if hemp contains small amounts of cbd the manufacturing process still results in an oil with a similar CBD concentration as oil made from other CBD sources? Or is the issue that hemp is missing a lot of other components only found in marijuana plants?

"Because the type of cannabis used to manufacture Elixinol CBD oil is industrial grade hemp, you can rest assured that any product you buy will contain only trace amounts of THC, making it completely non-psychoactive and safe even at high doses."

Hemp has CBD and no THC but the two seem to work synergistically. Some people do seem to get benefit from Hemp Oil but the best results (anecdotally) seem to be from an oil that has both CBD and THC although for the best medical effect (pain relief, anti-nausea etc) the concentration of THC must be very low.

EDIT:

The stuff is even sold at Clicks as a food supplement so how active can it be?

Was hoping it would help with sleep, but didn't really.

At slightly higher suggested dose, I could put my head down on pillow and be out within minutes. As for whether it really helped with my anxiety and stress related ailments, I can't really say I notice as much of an improvement, but a good nights sleep over tossing and turning and worrying about things out of my control is definitely a plus.

Lol, I'm too afraid to try it. Not because I think it is fake, but I'm afraid of not knowing what would happen.

I want the setting to be perfect, still working on that. I really don't want a bad 1st trip.

Am I just silly?

I'm not a fan of mushrooms. Tried it two or three times and had bad trips twice. Weirdly I never had a problem with acid.

Personally, I would therefore not recommend you take it without a guide. If you start freaking out and you're alone it could go really wrong.

My buddy got his order for Trichoma. R3000 worth of high level and Top Shelf. I didn't try much but I did try the Chocolope. Man it tastes amazing. Spicy, almost like bitter chocolate. Also a great high :)

He lives!!

So i have a question, why did you buy the shrooms then? Im just curious to know why you'd buy the product, but are too scared to take it?

(Dont get me wrong, im not trying to pressure you into it, i personally am not a fan of psychedelics, so im not advocating shrooms)

As mentioned, you will need a guide when taking it the 1st time, something really bad can happen, and you wouldn't want to be alone, not knowing how to handle whatever happens.

Besides, a shrooms trip shouldn't be something you do on your own.

I wanted to experience psychedelics but it must be as natural as possible, so LSD is not an option.
I think the whole scenario with me believing it is fake added to my fear of experiencing a bad trip or something.

I was ready at first, had my wife prepare to trip sit me. Prepared a room with nice flowers etc.

When I can get all of this in place again I will give it a try!

Nice!

Yeah, you need sitter, no matter what, especially for the 1st time taking a hallucinogen/psychoactive.

I learnt the hard way, taking more than 1 canna cookie in a short period of time, and a bong hit... That combination sent me packing!

And i was alone, to this day i barely remember what happened that day, i lost an entire day.

Hi All, anyone have much experience with these sorts of PH Testers? Link: PH Tester

Do they stay calibrated for long and are they reliable?
