Surely couldn't hurt, especially if it doesn't affect your tolerance for THC. Cause I really need to take a tolerance break, but I need pain relief and sleep more.

    What about CBD-based sleep aid gummies?

    Unfortunately I've been there, done that. I feel nothing from CBD whatsoever. No pain relief, no appetite, no sleep. Feels like eating a snack

    Nope, I need my THC, so it'll be interesting to see how this discovery plays out. Maybe I can finally get the relief I need without worrying about needing t-breaks.

    Yeah unfortunately I'm the same way. Have tried several CBD things and not one of them do anything for me unless I go max dose, and even then it's an incredibly mild effect. THC takes nearly nothing though, 15mg is enough for a very strong high. I have friends where the complete opposite is true and I would love to trade them.

    Having a low tolerance is great for your wallet!

    Oh it absolutely is, and I've got a low tolerance for alcohol too, which is pretty nice. I just wish that if I had to choose which of THC and CBD I had a low tolerance for, it'd be CBD.

    Damn you're so lucky; I have a naturally high tolerance to everything. Even if it's my first time trying a substance, I usually need double the recommended starter dose to even feel anything. It definitely hasn't been great on my wallet.

    Damn that's rough and sounds expensive!

    It's funny, the first few times I smoked a joint with a friend, it barely did anything at all to me. Never had any more for many years, and the next time I was completely couch locked and was hallucinating while watching TV. Either my tolerance changed drastically or my friend's weed was weak as hell.
