The liquid CBD being sold today is way more concentrated than what people absorbed by smoking in the past.

How many people know that CBD, like grapefruit, interacts negatively with many drugs.

[drSteve78]

CBD extracts from hemp are most common source, and have ZERO hallucinogenic THC. ZERO, so that if someone is using any hemp sourced CBD product and claims “wow, i can really feel it”, that’s Ram’s Dung.

CBD does have some great ant-inflammatory effect (anecdotal, personal use) that borders on dramatic, for some chronic problems. But nothing like smoking weed.

CBD, though, CAN interfere will some other actual medications. Grapefruit interferes with some drug absorption. Not sure if same mechanism, but no drug company is likely to say anything good re:CBD.

Move to Colorado, and get gummy bears with THC, that’s the fun stuff, if so inclined.

I can’t eat grapefruit anymore due to taking simvistatin. Kind of sucks since I grew up eating atleast half a grapefruit practically every day.

I hate grapefruit, always have hated it! Mom made us eat it so we piled a ton of sugar on top to make it palatable.

Pink is not so bad but I have not eaten grapefruit since I left home.
Now I am warned off of grapefruit when I take certain prescription medications.

I know a guy who got some big house in palm desert area

I grabbed some and he is like, what are you doing ?

He said he had never tried any of his own grapefruit.

[RummyChick]

i like martha stewart gummies. I have no idea if they do any good but I eat them anyway.

Grapefruit inhibits cytochrome P450. See Grapefruit–medication interactions: Forbidden fruit or avoidable consequences?. Drug doses are calculated with the expectation that P450 is going to degrade a specific amount of the drug before it can be used. Consuming grapefruit knocks out P450 and the undegraded dose may be an overdose.

So, get a prescription for the dose of med that will increase to your desired dosage when you have your grapefruit or juice. Win-win.
