California online CBD

Hello,
With the new law that passed limiting CBD sales to California I wanted to see if anyone has some good recommendations for purchasing CBD online? I was looking at Lazarus naturals but just missed the cut off on July 1st. I want someone of good quality with a reputable lab tests.
Thanks!

CBD/Inflammation/Burn Survivor

Long story short I am a 65% 3rd/4th degree burn survivor (6 years post). I have lost most of the lymphatic system in my lower extremities (responsible for being blood and fluid back up to the heart) so I am consistently inflamed and deal with swelling In my hands and legs every day.

I experimented with THC/CBD edibles because I have a damaged airway and didn’t want to smoke/never had.

I experienced incredible side effects the following day after consuming. My skin was a better color, I had no edema in my lower legs and I felt physically lighter and more limber. It would last sometimes a couple days before my body would become inflamed again. I started taking stronger doses but didn’t like how I felt a little high the following day. After years of trial and error I stumbled on articles that talked about clinical trials for dealing with inflammation in burn patients and MS patients.

From that information I bought hemp gummies on Amazon to test them out, and I realized the CBD was the ingredient that was helping me.

My question:

How long does CBD stay potent in the blood stream? I’m not worried about drug tests etc..I just want to get some clarity from some people with more experience in this. I love the positive effects I get from the CBD gummies. I take them at night (25mg) but I hate how groggy I feel in the morning. By mid day I feel great! But that grogginess sucks.
I don’t want to lose the positive benefits but I also don’t want to drop the dosage and lose the positive effects just to be more awake in the morning.

And suggestions or input? I’ve spoken to burn doctor and he is doing some research since this is somewhat a new thing.

Thanks in advance!

TLDR: 65% burn survivor finding relief from CBD edibles to help with circulation but need advice on dosage, half life of CBD, and maybe some personal testimony?

I figured out how to “fix” my lymphatic system

32M 65% 3rd/4th 60 surgeries.

I had always had issues with swelling , inflammation, and a feeling of exhaustion. Wounds healed slowly when I cut burned skin and I consistently felt hot.

CBD.
I discovered that there is clinical research to suggest that CBD increases the cannabinoids in the main area of the lymphatic system in the stomach. It helps to reduce swelling, inflammation, and feelings of heaviness.

Here is a peer reviewed article. I will be speaking to my surgeon but I’ve been experimenting the last year and had very positive effects. Give it a shot!

6 years post burn

32 M 65% 3rd/ 4th, hands face arms legs all involved.

Gonna blow up this account of mine but don’t care. I was burned fighting a wildland fire as a firefighter in 2020. Been on comp since the incident but after 60 surgeries, a lot of weight loss, hard physical exercise has gotten me to the point of being ready to return back to the job I love.

Biggest red flag for me is my thermoregulation. Because of how environmentally hazardous my job is, you are out in the sun for 16 hour shifts doing hard manual labor with very limited shade and plenty of heat from the fire we would fight.

My goal is to find a way to mitigate the lack of cooling in my body. Some thoughts I’ve had are wearing an ice vest during the hottest parts of the day and continuing to be diligent in my hydration. As well as cooling clothes to put around my neck that I can wet down whenever.

Just found this group and would love to open it up if anyone has any good recommendations that have worked for them.
I’m not a quitter and I’m sure a lot of people in here have pushed through miraculous recoveries to have a successful life.

Thanks in advance!
