#2OK, this article is trying so hard to sound cool.

It sounds like they haven't actually tried bong water, unless the CBD tincture they had was actually incredibly poorly made. Bong water is... not something you just drop on your tongue. It's hard for me to illustrate but it's very disgusting, unpalatable.
> After ingesting it—perhaps, I will admit, because I really wanted to believe—I thought I felt something
I think it's possible that some people feel effects from CBD alone, but most people probably need a more whole spectrum cannabinoid profile to benefit. I.e. the "entourage effect":
> First described in 1998 by Israeli scientists Shimon Ben-Shabat and Raphael Mechoulam, the basic idea of the entourage effect is that cannabinoids within the cannabis plant work together, or possess synergy, and affect the body in a mechanism similar to the body’s own endocannabinoid system. [1]
> I told him that I had tried CBD in coffee
Not the author's fault there... these substances are very opposite.
Finally I'd like to say for anyone wanting to experience the healing effects from cannabis without getting high should look into raw cannabis, or THCA and CBDA, which are the acid forms of THC and CBD and in studies I've seen provide anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer etc. effects (as THC and CBD are claimed to) but without the psychoactivity.

I've been sampling CBD oil from a few different sources the past few months. I just received a bottle from Bluebird Botanicals (as the author did). Their website warns you before purchase about the taste, and after sampling three other products, I just ignored the warning.
I received it yesterday and WOW it tastes AWFUL. It's really bad.

Start with water from rotten potatoes, add fish oil.

Well depends on the strain, right?
Sativa + Coffee probably has a enhanced little buzz.

under the tongue intake ?
I'm wondering if it's possible to inhale CBD with the old bowl of near boiling water.

I recommend mixing it with honey! My favorite drink with it is CBD + honey + matcha green tea + ice.

How is THCA not psychoactive? THCA generally undergoes decarboxylation when the environment shifts (acid, base, temperature), and just naturally over time anyways, so it autoconverts to THC, and even probably requires that conversions to touch the receptor.

do you think there's a market for flavorless CBD products?

THCA requires heat to be activated into THC. In fact most strains of cannabis contain hardly any THC at all; it’s almost entirely THCA. That's why eating raw buds won’t get you high. Only when you ignite or vape the plant material does it get converted.
