How CBD helped me slow down mentally after stressful work days

I was skeptical about CBD at first, but it honestly helped me slow down mentally after stressful work days.

I mostly use CBD flowers in the evening because I prefer something more natural and relaxing.

I recently wrote about my experience here if anyone’s interested:

Finding Zero-THC CBD Vape Juice in CA / Figuring out the DIY Route for Anxiety (Bans Suck)

Hey everyone,

I’ve dealt with chronic anxiety for a long time, and CBD vape juice is one of the few things that really helps me manage it. The catch is that I need it to be 100% pure CBD isolate with zero THC. I am incredibly sensitive to THC, and even trace amounts make my anxiety way worse.

I used to have Avida CBD shipped directly to me a few times, but because of the federal PACT Act shipping laws and California’s strict retail bans, online checkout blocks vapes now, and local smoke shops have nothing on the shelves. It’s becoming impossible to find a clean, zero-THC product like this.

The CBD is genuinely needed, but these bans suck. I’m trying to figure out what my best options are at this point:

  1. Are there any legitimate workarounds? Are there specific brands or private courier networks still delivering isolate vape products safely into California?
  2. Should I just go the DIY route? If you guys think DIY is the safest bet to ensure it’s 100% THC-free, how exactly does that work?
  3. How do I DIY it correctly? If I buy pure CBD isolate powder, what are the step-by-step instructions for dissolving it into a PG/VG base? What ratio should I use so it doesn't separate or turn back into crystals inside my vape tank?

For context, I use a Geekvape device, so any tips on what coils/wattage to use for a homemade setup would be amazing too.

Thanks so much for any advice, I really appreciate the help.

New CDB / CBG user. Need Feedback on COA for Zero Point Extraction CBD / CBG Isolate-

Quick question, I started using CBD and CBG extracts regularly it has had an outsized impact on my wellbeing. Huge fan, have been sourcing isolate from Extract Labs, just came across Zero Point Extraction. They are not in the "vetted suppliers" on http://theCBD.place , so I thought I'd get some more info

I am interested in better pricing for isolate, hoping to get some feedback on Zero Point Extraction. Their Google Business Profile is mixed, does anyone have any experience with them? I cross checked both companies latest COA for CBG (included below), and Zero Point looks solid- how is the isolate priced so low?!?

I appreciate the community and feedback, hoping more people can experience the positive benefits of CBD!

Stay awesome out there-

should i take half or a quarter first time? i’m anxiety prone and my local place only has more THC vs CBD totality gummies.

4’10 88lbs (yes, adult) i was looking for predominantly CBD with also THC gummies but as said there isn’t any. i wanted it for night time munchies but i read CBD doesn’t enhance appetite at all but when i’m stressed i tend to not eat instead of stress eat so i think it still will “enhance” in a way because of it.

Forbes Health tested 115 CBD products. These were the brands that had issues.

I saw Forbes Health published an independent lab-testing investigation into CBD products, and it’s worth reading if you use CBD regularly.

They tested 115 retail CBD products through Nova Analytic Labs, including oils, gummies and topicals.

Most samples were fine. That part matters.

But a handful were reported as failed or flagged for things I don’t think most casual CBD buyers are checking for when they see “third-party lab tested.”

The products they called out:

  • Redeem Therapeutics Broad Spectrum CBD Tincture: failed for pesticides detected above the lab limit.
  • Redeem Therapeutics Broad Spectrum CBD Gummy: failed for inconsistent CBD per gummy.
  • R&R Multifunctional THC-Free CBD Gummies: CBD per gummy varied by more than the lab’s consistency threshold.
  • R&R Multifunctional CBD Tincture: failed for lead detected above the lab limit in the original sample.
  • American Shaman Water Soluble CBD, Hemp Oil (THC Free): failed for yeast/mold above the lab limit.
  • Medterra Pain Relief Cream: flagged for trace lead found.

I’m not reading this as “all CBD is dangerous” or “never buy from these brands.”

But it did make me rethink the phrase “lab tested.”

A lot of people seem to look only at CBD potency and whether THC is under 0.3%. That is useful, but it does not tell you much about pesticides, heavy metals, yeast/mold, microbials, mycotoxins or residual solvents.

To me, the takeaway is:

A potency-only COA is not enough. Curious how people here read COAs.

What’s your minimum standard before trusting a CBD product?

Student idea: kava mouth pouches

What’s up everybody,

I’m currently in a master’s program for entrepreneurship, and I’m trying to figure out if an idea I’m working on is actually useful before I spend money trying to build it.

The idea is a kava-based mouth pouch, something you would place in your gums, similar to a nicotine pouch, but without nicotine or tobacco.

From what I understand, kava is commonly used by people who want a more relaxing, social feeling, and some people drink it as an alternative to alcohol. My thought was: what if that same idea could exist in a pouch format for people who like the oral fixation, flavor, and ritual of having something in their mouth?

I’m not selling anything. This product doesn’t exist right now, and I’m not trying to promote anything. I’m just trying to get honest feedback and see if this is something people would actually care about.

I’ll include an AI-generated mockup just to show the general direction I’m thinking about.

Gut reaction:

Would you try something like this?

Does the idea sound useful or pointless?

What would make you trust it?

What would make you immediately not want to use it?

What flavors would actually make sense,  mint, cinnamon, original kava, something else?

Be brutally honest. I’m active and I’ll respond to comments because I’m genuinely trying to learn whether this is worth exploring.
