Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid too. I think you are little confused about how they work. They all work by stimulating the CB1 or CB2 repeptors in the brain and body. I actually use a daily CBD supplement (Cibdex) made by Hemp Inc (they are the largest producers or pure CBD in the world). I met them at the Green Festival last month and bought some of their products.

So I spoke with my doctor, and he said that if you are loosing weight and not trying to, then something is wrong.

He told me to record every bit of cannabinoids I use - all the edibles, sublinguals, pills, tinctures, plus the amount of herb and extracts and then reduce my usage until I feel better.

Sounds like a plan.

My problems is I get hella crampy in my stomach, and have no appetite. When i do eat, I just eat a bite or two and then I am full. By the end of the night my lower stomach really hurts, and I sometimes throw up. A hot shower or lying down helps a lot.

When I think about it, esp after talking to the doctor, I think I am just using way too many canna-products.

I'm gonna stop all edibles and pills and such, and not use any extracts.
I am gonna stop the CBD supplements too.
Not sure why i even use so many, I mean I smoke a shit ton of weed.
These products are for people that don't smoke, not people like me - hourly smokers of Cookies and Kush
Think I end up just buying shit just to buy it, all the candies and cookies and chocolate bars look so good and the manufacturers make you think they are good for you.

I don't remember feeling bad when i was just smoking plain old weed.

"commercial green marketed as organic"

Funny, I don't feel confused... yet.

You only have so many CB1 and 2 receptors in the body. THC and CBD each have their own effects on those receptors, and only so much of each can be attached to each receptor. That's why you can reach a "ceiling" where you keep smoking but don't get more high. Anyway, when you introduce both CBD and THC, they compete with each other, and you have competitive inhibition.

Given anecdotal evidence of CBD keeping the high more mellow and longer lasting, and pure THC to be a sudden rush followed by a subsequent crash, I'm willing to speculate that CBD has a higher affinity for the CB1 and 2 receptors, keeping the THC in the blood longer before being metabolized. Haven't read the research to confirm that.


You're total cannabinoid consumption is much higher than mine. I bet that if you clean yourself out a bit, and only use the CBD when you feel nauseous, the nausea will subside. Definitely gotta lower the THC level though... ha ha... That's my problem, when I'm eating medibles and I'm high as a fucking kite 24/7. Then I go to smoke, and

[TheCleanGame]

Harlequin is 8%CBD and only 6% THC and believe me... it's a 'mellow' and not a stone or high that's anything like I've been used to for 25 years. Never had my brain working so well as when I had some of that...

I have no idea what hemp-derived cbd products are like... just what the cannabis with lots of cbd is like.

And again... unless you know exactly what's going in and on the cannabis you're getting from others, the symptoms of organic azadirachtin products produce the same stomach cramping and eventual puking.

Would be interesting to find out what strains folks are toking up that are clean of aza products and still causing the hyperemesis issue.

Keep it Clean!

Haha, that's the thing that my friend and his wife said they would miss the most about living here in California. How much cannabis was just accepted out here. They just moved back to NSW after working here for 18 months. Now he says "it's back into the closet".

As you probably know , laws vary greatly from state to state .
Court to court .
In NSW more than 2 plants indoors and they class it as a commercial op and you may be jailed without bail .
Qld under 100 plants not considered commercial . ??

We are a long way off from MMJ here yet .
