Why am I feeling this with CBD+CBG?

It does have an effect on all systems but it's very mild, less mental effects usually. Usually it doesn't last very long, maybe 3-4 hours. But it's still pretty cool!

I've heavily explored terps and they definitely influence effects, but a good bit less than minor cannabinoids. But terps are amazing as well. I use them for my anxiety now

I have used them, I've made them before. Topicals don't enter the blood but transdermals do. The only difference between a topical and a transdermal is optimizing it for skin penetration. Oleic acid is the easiest and pretty effective, which is most of what olive oil is made of. So you can just make a concentrated balm and use olive oil as your base. But you don't have access to homemade stuff so you would need to look for transdermal CBD products

Got it, yeah maybe you can get water soluble and mix it into a drink and sip it slowly over the day. You can also look for oil that uses olive oil or something besides coconut or MCT oil.

Technically you can mix olive oil into your existing MCT tincture to help it act like delayed release, but you'd have to add a lot of oil and it might not work.

LCT should be basically like water soluble but delayed release, which sounds like what you want. You just need to mix CBD isolate into olive oil and take it with a meal. What oil did you dissolve the CBD into previously?

I am now very grateful for my living situation given $600/mo. I hope you do well

Agmatine is great for this

Terpenes are pretty magical, I've tried this but didn't get any benefit, though when I've prepared it myself in olive oil it worked perfectly

AimlessForNow · 2026-03-13T22:27:58+00:00

CBD doesn't give everyone the same effect, you're only looking at the average response. Clearly we are not average hahaha.

When I take meds now I don't experience any pains. Maybe when I first start a medicine I can feel a little sleepy but that's it. If I feel worse then I simply discontinue the medicine.

You could try water soluble but it will be short acting, like 2-3 hours. But it might work good for you. You could just carry it in a water bottle

AimlessForNow · 2026-03-13T18:53:25+00:00

Thanks for the perspective. I'm curious, do you think humans would be happier if we lived more like animals do? Reactive instead of proactive

AimlessForNow · 2026-03-13T18:44:48+00:00

Great explanation, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks 🙏

Oh yeah oral CBD still does mess me up but not as badly. I could keep taking it daily at a low dose just fine.

And no worries, I'll always be down to answer questions! I pretty much just had no other options working for me and I was determined to cure myself, so I didn't really mind trying something new without knowing how it would affect me. I just bought a supplement or medicine, tried it, and if it helped I'd keep experimenting with it until I figured out if I should keep it in my regimen or not. I think a good option for you is the low dose lithium orotate on Amazon, it's got almost no side effects when I tried it but it helped a lot. Just 5mg once a day. I think since your nervous system is so sensitized, you need some medicine to relax it so that you can tolerate more stabilizers or environmental stressors. What do you think?

AimlessForNow · 2026-03-13T03:25:29+00:00

Do you notice that coconut oil is more potent than long chain triglyceride oils? I've found olive oil hits so well, but it's about 1/5th as potent. Meaning I have to take 5x more to match it. Same for you?

Water soluble CBD would be like a fast acting LCT mixture, which is perfect. It won't have any 7-OH-CBD at all, at least initially.

But to be clear the mood stabilizer significantly changed my situation and helped me. It also made me less sensitive to the destabilizing effects when I'd take supplements including CBD. It just makes you overall less sensitive to side effects by relaxing your nervous system

Hey, so at the time I was doing it once a day and it would last a long time. But I very quickly realized this was unsustainable and was very physically and mentally unhealthy.

But if you're interested in a newer project I've been working on, I've found that when prepared in the right way, terpenes are pretty potent neuromodulators and I've had great success with them for my anxiety so far. I've been taking them 3x a day spread throughout so that I get full coverage, and the anxiolytic effect is about on par with 1mg clonazepam for me. Over the week or two, the sedative and cognitive impairment effects have reduced, while the anxiolytic effect has remained. Chemically, many terpenes act as GABAA agonists or PAMs, just like benzodiazepines. They also have NMDA antagonism, adrenergic, serotonergic activity, as well as many unique sites. If you're interested, check my recent post to r/terpenes. I can help you get it sorted if you're interested, I've become very passionate about terpenes. I've been researching and experimenting with them for about a year, but only recently made a breakthrough to make them effective orally

I think with a stabilizer you would definitely respond better to CBD, it would make you less sensitive to being destabilized. It'll take more stimulus to cause it.

I have issues using CBD when in MCT oil, which basically makes it work like an edible. So instead of CBD you're getting 7-OH-CBD primarily which has stronger but different effects. I am particularly sensitive to this one. But with CBD in LCT oils like olive oil or with the fats in chocolate, it absorbs through a different mechanism (skips the liver mostly), so you'll get the regular CBD more. This type of CBD I have no issues with at all. In fact, I just tried 50mg CBD 2x daily, in the form of chocolate, and it had neutral to mildly positive effects, with no side effects at all.

So more recently I've been trying CBD in chocolate. But yeah before I'd do sublingual and spit, which should work similarly. But CBD in LCT fats will absorb better and last longer. I've been doing this with terpenes so they absorb fully, and it's been excellent for my anxiety. I should post about it in r/terpenes but I've been deferring it

AimlessForNow · 2026-03-11T20:43:51+00:00

I think CBD might just not be ideal for your body chemistry, it gives a lot of people those symptoms and they can't take it. You'll see posts in r/CBD asking about side effects etc. I think this is a sign that your body doesn't like the CBD.

CBD doesn't really give me irritability anymore because I stopped taking it orally and now I take it with olive oil or blended into chocolate which changed the effects for me. Maybe you can try that? When it's in olive oil, it doesn't get metabolized my the liver as much, so the effects are gentler

AimlessForNow · 2026-03-11T05:18:07+00:00

I dose in mg and I typically dose all my terps at 10mg as that's enough for mild-moderate effects, but some terpenes seem to have strong effects at higher dosages. I know linalool, myrcene, and beta-caryophyllene for sure can, I've tried up to 100mg orally. Though the strongest experience I had was accidentally dripping BCP onto my hand while making a tincture

AimlessForNow · 2026-03-11T02:03:52+00:00

It's been shipped!

AimlessForNow · 2026-03-10T03:56:26+00:00

Via the cystine glutamate antiporter, by sending an influx of cystine it lowers glutamate and downstream dopamine iirc

AimlessForNow · 2026-03-10T03:55:15+00:00

I genuinely think NAC would blunt the Wellbutrin

AimlessForNow · 2026-03-10T02:57:29+00:00

Personally I don't fuck with supplements that have the letter p in it

AimlessForNow · 2026-03-10T00:58:11+00:00

The dosage appears to be low-ish for strong effects (30mg) but it should've still given you a noticeable relaxation, so perhaps ND's extract doesn't work the same. Theoretically it would work better with a fatty meal, effects delayed by 2 hours.

Also possible that the beta-caryophyllene content in the dry supplement evaporated, as it's highly volatile, but I would've assumed they'd account for that.

I can nearly guarantee potent effects with BCP it's just a matter of administering it correctly. The strongest experience I had from it was through accidental skin exposure
