So it's been a little over a week that I have been using Omega Labs CBD products and the results are pretty damn positive overall. First off, the Epiq Tincture is hands-down THE BEST Hemp based CBD tincture I have ever used (and I have bought and tried more snake-oil than I would care to admit).
I would consider myself a heavy user of CBD rich products as they becoming more readily available at my local dispensaries. Not only has CBD drastically reduced my anxiety and pain, it has also helped my father. My Dad has two severely herniated discs that leads to extreme nerve pain and muscle spasms. His pain is constant and debilitating at times even affects his sleep. His pain management doctor has him on 30mg Morphine tablets twice daily, 10mg Norco's four times daily, 600mg Gabapentin twice daily, 500mg Naproxen once daily, and 350mg Carisoprodol three times a day. I honestly have no idea how he can even walk let alone function throughout the day, he just has an insane tolerance. Since I have started him on a THCA tincture and the Epiq Tincture, his pain and inflammation has decreased substantially. On a scale from 1 to 10, his pain went from around a 7 to a 2. He is also able to sleep for longer stretches without waking up in agony. He is now glad to be getting 5-7 hours sleep a night versus the 3 hours of sleep he was getting before. Thankfully my Dad is a medical-marijuana patient and has access to this stuff locally but the fact that you can buy Epiq Tincture anywhere in the US makes me smile because a lot of people will soon have access to incredible natural medicine like this.
I'd also like to elaborate on how CBD treats my anxiety. Don't get me wrong, anxiety doesn't magically disappear because of a tincture or CBD edible for me, it's still something I deal with daily. What CBD has done for me is drastically improve my handling of anxiety and reduced the frequency of panicky thoughts and my panic response. If you battle anxiety you probably know the terrifying "negative thought spiral" during moments of anxiety that snowball into a full fledged panic attack. CBD allows me to cope with anxiety, notice it, disregard it, and continue on with my tasks. Instead of being consumed by anxiety I feel as if I am able to just work through it. CBD has also reduced the amount anticipatory anxiety I experience contemplating future events or plans. Instead of worrying about having a panic attack at the concert I am going to next week, those negative thoughts don't even cross my mind the same way and I am able to dismiss them as non-helpful and irrational fears. I feel as if CBD is almost beginning to change my thought patterns. My anxiety used to be so bad that I would have anxiety about the
possibility of having anxiety (which probably makes no sense to people who never experienced this flawed way of thinking).
My results with the 500mg Epiq Vape "Liquid Shatter" aren't as profound or positive. It takes a lot more hits of the e-juice for me to feel the same effect as 5 drops of the Epiq tincture. PG and VG irritate my lungs and makes them feel heavy after a vaporizing session which is a bit disappointing, I might be allergic to PG or VG and I honestly don't care to find out which one is causing me the lung trouble. I gifted the CBD Liquid Shatter to a friend of mine who is a vaping fanatic, he has been using the juice for the last few days with terrific results for his social anxiety and he has no trouble with the e-juice whatsoever. I won't be ordering this product again only because of the PG/VG content, that stuff just isn't for me.
The 1000mg CBD "Sour Diesel" concentrate I received from cbdoil4u.com has been pretty fantastic. It arrived in a syringe similar to the ones used for other CO2 extracts. It smells like DANK herb, I wasn't expecting that but it was a pleasant surprise. Since the CBD is absorbed through the lungs the effects were noticeable much quicker than with the tincture and I was left grinning after a few minutes realizing how heavy my eyelids were starting to feel. Darkrom hit the nail on the head, it felt similar to how enjoyable weed used to be for me back in my high school days before anxiety. No racy thoughts, no paranoia, no racing heart that feels like its going to beat out of my chest, just pure relaxation and bliss.
In conclusion, Omega Labs is hands down the best provider of 50 state legal CBD products by a huge margin. I have now added the Epiq tincture to my morning routine of vitamins and supplements, it's long lasting and provides noticeable effects throughout the day. Just when I thought all hope was lost for hemp based CBD products, Omega Labs restores my faith in the possibility of CBD being available to anyone and everybody. We could all use a little bit of CBD healing!
