My First Time Trying CBD Oil
Written by Morgan on March 16th 2020
Six months ago, I was celebrating my birthday at my parent’s house. I’m currently at the age of thirty nine; meaning birthday gifts lost the significance that they had at twelve years old. One of my friends, Katherine, gave me a bottle of CBD oil. Having only heard of CBD oil, she spent ten minutes telling me about what it actually was. 

Admittedly, my attention was minimal. I had no intention of actually taking the oil. I was frankly afraid. In my mind, it was weed. Weed was something you tried in college. It makes you lazy and stupid. I’d be risking any job prospects if weed was in my system. No go!! I put the box on my bookshelf and forgot about it. 

A few weeks later, the perfect storm of stressful events arrived. Things were going wrong both at work and at home. I started getting headaches. One night I got home hoping to go straight to bed. However, I was so worked up that I doubted that I would fall asleep before midnight. 

Sitting on my couch I unconsciously tilted my head toward my bookshelf. I saw the CBD oil. The bright orange packaging stood out to my lazy eye. I remembered her telling me that CBD oil can help people with sleep. In the state I was in, I decided to learn more. I picked up my phone and went to the best info source I could think of, YouTube. 
To start, I spent about an hour watching testimonials. Apparently there are many people who agree with Katherine about the benefits of CBD oil. Issues such as sleep, anxiety, weight loss and energy were mentioned as categories that improved. But what about drug tests. People claimed that CBD oil doesn’t have enough THC to make someone test positive for standard drug tests. Far be it to say that everything on YouTube is accurate. However, I was having a bad night and I was willing to trust the positive consensus of the videos I found.

I suddenly realized that I didn’t know how to take CBD oil. My friend didn’t tell me what to do. Therefore, I went back to YouTube for instructions. Katherine gave me tinctures, which is something that you put under your tongue. After fifteen more minutes off vides, I had a god idea on how to take it and how much. 

Once I injected the appropriate amount, I sat and waited for some type of effect. Nothing happened immediately. However, to my surprise, I was relaxed and ready for bed at 10pm. In addition, usually I wake up around 2-3am and lie awake for an hour. I was amazed when I woke up at 6:30 with no desire to sleep. The next day of work was much easier. I was able to slow down and take things as they come. Keep in mind that this was only the first day. 

If you’re familiar with the effects of marijuana, you may be surprised to know that CBD feels completely different in my opinion. I wasn’t “buzzed.” I didn’t have trouble focusing. I was able to be on my game in many different ways. 

My energy level went up. I started consistently going to the gym. I stopped taking naps over the weekend. I slept more deeply for less hours.  

One last improvement was that I started craving healthier foods. After about three weeks, I noticed that I was reaching for more vegetables. Diet Coke became something I drank sparingly over the weekend. There were far less carry out orders on my way home. I began relying on my ability to cook. I’ve become a big fan of the Keto Diet; which I’ll write more about in the future. 

I recently got my bloodwork done. I was also happy to see that I did not test positive for THC. 

I’m still learning about CBD oil. However, I’m a very big fan of it now. I’ll keep posting about my experiences with it in the future.
