So is Soma on the horizon then?

#12OK, this article is trying so hard to sound cool. > The oil was the brownish color of a stagnant pond, and tasted like old bong water with a hint of lemon. 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…
THC and coffee is so popular there is slang for it - https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Stoner%20spe...

#13Anecdotally, as someone with moderate bipolar depression and severe anxiety, a 1:1 THC/CBD tincture has been a miracle cure for me. I’ve spent my whole life going through every SSRI and mood stabilizer in the book, and the side effects have always been worse than just going unmedicated. This is the only thing that has ever truly helped me. Cannabinoids seem to be highly synergistic, where THC can ease the depression but increase anxiety, while CBD decreases the anxiety to be manageable. Either one alone is far less effective.

#14CBD is definitely psychoactive. It just doesn't feel very good at all. (For some people.)

#15So I've experimented consistently with pure CBD (0 THC. Even 16:1 CBD:THC is too much for me). In my opinion, it's better than weed, at least for those of us who are more sensitive to marijuana than most (e.g. I probably couldn't drive high).
I'm not saying I put it in my coffee every morning, but the relaxing effect is real and powerful. Certainly a better substance than alcohol for taking the edge off in my opinion.
You could probably write software while on CBD. If I had to characterize the effects, I'd say it makes one less intense, more patient, cures headache, and gives warm-fuzzies for a few hours. The following day you may be slightly more irritable than average though.
(Note in NYC you can sometimes get it over the counter in some head shops. In SF you can get it with a medicinal card)

We legalized all cannibis products this year in CA. So no need for a card, and in the Bay Area delivery services will show up faster than Ubers.

Would CBD show on a typical 5-panel test which tests for THC?

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.
do you think there's a market for flavorless CBD products?
Definitely. While I appreciate the fact that their oil is a natural plant-derived supplement, many people would be turned off by this oil for their first try.
"Good Vibes" by Sabaidee is as close to "flavorless" as I've come across, but my favorite thus far has been Green Mountain CBD, which has a "chocolate mint" flavor.

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

Yup - getting easier to find at most head shops esp. in Manhattan.
