Has anyone done oils before? I'm thinking of the switch from vaping
I tried a 90 quid 25/25 and it made me flat and depressed, i think that was the 25% CBD in it. I am about to have oil removed from my script, it does not suit me. But others get on fine with it, it's just at 90 per 30ml it's to expensive to experiment finding the right mix. Also these oils do not compare to morroccan oil back in the 70's and early 80's, these are thin and must have a carrier oil in as well.Has anyone done oils before?

Cheers for that. I was asked on last review why I had flower and not oils, and my reasoning was that I enjoyed vaping and being able to "dose" better.I tried a 90 quid 25/25 and it made me flat and depressed, i think that was the 25% CBD in it.

Even slower than edibles can take upto 3hrs for full effect. Hard to measure dosage, easy to over do it on edibles, when you last ate can effect time as well.Cheers for that.

I like the way if I need a bit more I can have another bowl
But if I'm ok, I can just top up later on
The thing with the oils is like you say, not properly being able to know what your limits are or how much you need
Seems to take an amount of time like edibles over that instant hit
Thank you for the info. I may look at it later, but may try one of the carts 1stEven slower than edibles can take upto 3hrs for full effect. Hard to measure dosage, easy to over do it on edibles, when you last ate can effect time as well.
There isn’t much else to comment on with oils other than effects, but for what it’s worth.. it’s a thin, very vaguely amber oil, in a small glass bottle, and it kind of tastes like cannabis.
Brilliant news buddy as cheap and effective could like you say save you a fair few quid on flower just using the oil to complement what I imagine would be reduced flower usage .I was prescribed this recently and at 20mg/ml I was skeptical, but I’ve been happily surprised at how effective it is. Lovely deep relaxing body effects, relieving tension and pain brilliantly, with a chill, happy mood to go with it. I don’t know if this strain just hits the spot for me or what but I was expecting it to be pretty weak especially at the starting dose of 0.2ml but that actually seems to do the trick for me just nicely, which is great because at that dose it could stand to save me a fair bit of money in the long run as it sets a great baseline so I vape less flower. It presents great value for me at under 50p a dose. And then to think the 50mg/ml variant is priced much better, the same dose would be around 30p? Brilliant.

All in all it’s early days but I’m really happy with this.
Absolutely it’s still early days but it seems to be the case I use less flower with the oil, 0.3 before bed last night and I was comfy all night, even woke up 4-5am for the bathroom and straight back to sleep no dramaBrilliant news buddy as cheap and effective could like you say save you a fair few quid on flower just using the oil to complement what I imagine would be reduced flower usage .![]()
When you mentioned this oil the other day I went and checked and it's the Green Goliath If I'm not mistaken and I'm sure a few people have spoke of oils made from this favourably now over the time I've been hereAbsolutely it’s still early days but it seems to be the case I use less flower with the oil, 0.3 before bed last night and I was comfy all night, even woke up 4-5am for the bathroom and straight back to sleep no drama![]()
Sounds about right I think Montu have it down as goliath x green gelato. I can see why bro it's lovely stuff. I was surprised to see only a few cultivars of oil available at montu to be honest and had been eying up other strains I was more familiar with elsewhere but it's hitting the spot pretty much perfectly and keenly priced so no worriesWhen you mentioned this oil the other day I went and checked and it's the Green Goliath If I'm not mistaken and I'm sure a few people have spoke of oils made from this favourably now over the time I've been here![]()
I mean you'll know it's a different way of metabolising it with oil and a complete new tolerance level starting from new is my understanding so can be a godsend to some with high tolerance through traditional methods to then get great effects through a mild dose through the oil as it's like starting over0.3 last night with a bowl of Yoda cap. Same again, good all night and didn’t even vape any flower after my oil that’s mad![]()
To be honest I knew it metabolised differently but I never really realised it would be like a totally separate tolerance but I think you’re right mate because the doses I’m taking are nothing on paper. I have also found while reading around that the cannabinoids are distributed around the body differently with oil compared to vaping too which is very interesting and seems to explain why it is giving such strong body effects. Vaping apparently hits mostly CB1 Medical receptors in the brain giving psychoactive effects and nerve pain relief, but oil spreads around the body more and for longer engaging cb2 receptors which are responsible for inflammation responses and the immune system. Really interesting stuff when you start diving into itI mean you'll know it's a different way of metabolising it with oil and a complete new tolerance level starting from new is my understanding so can be a godsend to some with high tolerance through traditional methods to then get great effects through a mild dose through the oil as it's like starting over![]()
Just being talking about systemic with my wife regards her disease and to combat this you'd want something that acts in that way (systemic)spreading round the body feeding the cb2 receptors which are mapped out around the body and particularly the joints iircTo be honest I knew it metabolised differently but I never really realised it would be like a totally separate tolerance but I think you’re right mate because the doses I’m taking are nothing on paper.

Have you guys tried oil mate from what you’re saying it sounds like she could potentially benefit from itJust being talking about systemic with my wife regards her disease and to combat this you'd want something that acts in that way (systemic)spreading round the body feeding the cb2 receptors which are mapped out around the body and particularly the joints iirc
