CBD is definitely psychoactive. It just doesn't feel very good at all. (For some people.)
it's negligible, like I feel more high by drinking coughee

#42I'm really perplexed by this refrain that CDB is "not psychoactive" > A psychoactive drug, psychopharmaceutical, or psychotropic is a chemical substance that changes brain function and results in alterations in perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, or behavior. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoactive_drug Isn't the point of taking it that it's psychoactive?
"Not psychoactive" is definitely not the right term. CBD affects, indirectly, the GABA receptors in your brain. It's pretty clearly psychoactive. The "non-psychoative" seems to have picked up a colloquial usage that essentials equates to
"doesn't get me high".

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

#46I've tried full spectrum CBD from a reliable source and I'm jealous of everyone who seem to be reaping all of these benefits. I'm unfortunately not on that side of the fence. I've tried different doses from tinctures under the tongue etc...but I couldn't say I notice any difference in mood, anxiety, muscle soreness, joint pain et al.

#47From a little personal experimentation I've been surprisingly impressed. It helps winding down before bed after a hard day, but also helps to settle the mind for work, and doesn't interfere with concentration. Unlike other health fads (e.g. coconut oil, tumeric) it appears to have a quickly observable effect. I theorize it may work by reducing or helping to manage stress. This could explain why it has raving supporte…

#48OK, 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…
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.
Well, I don't know how THCA is not psychoactive vs THC, but you said yourself how THCA converts to THC. If you get very fresh cannabis, it will have undergone very little natural decarboxoylation.
And as for the receptors, THCA has been found to act on different receptors, i.e. not on CB1 or CB2, and that the effects on those receptors is different. I am not explaining the science well, but it's easily searchable.

>> I told him that I had tried CBD in coffee > Not the author's fault there... these substances are very opposite. Well depends on the strain, right? Sativa + Coffee probably has a enhanced little buzz.
There isn't really a connection to cannabinoid profile and sativa vs indica, that I've seen. E.g. Harle-Tsu is a high CBD sativa strain, but it's not going to be like most familiar THC sativas. So I mean that it's the actual cannabinoid profile that determines that, and from I've read, CBD is more calming vs THC and caffeine are more hyping.

> I received it yesterday and WOW it tastes AWFUL. It's really bad. As weird as it might sound, I prefer that with "medicine", it's also one of the reasons why I "enjoy" drinking chamomile tea: It tastes so bad, it gotta be healthy.

Each to their own, I really enjoy the taste of chamomile tea :)
Agreed that it's a good thing for medicine not to taste 'good' though, especially for medicines that happen to enhance appetite...
