RE: Discoverying How Annoyingly Slow Discovery Club Is
The Recovery CBD Balm would be an example of one of those things with insanely low amounts of CBD. It has 30mg in that entire fucking container. [...] Just not sure what that tiny amount of CBD is actually doing.
I've seen some CBD-infused water peddled around here and there. Then I look at the concentrations and compare them against recommended doses for certain ailments and... yeah. It's being used as a buzzword; a complete novelty and that's it, by most of these companies.
I know CBD has the legitimate potential to help a great many people who are struggling with various ailments and conditions. I also know that legitimate potential has been targeted, latched onto, stretched and overblown by the capitalistic machine... right into the latest new health craze fad. Take CBD for this, that, and everything else. Pay us 10 times the price of normal things because we put CBD in your water, in your cookies, in your fucking lip balm. (Seriously?)
Of course I don't object to anyone buying water and other things with trace amounts of CBD in it... I just think it's silly. I don't even really object to people selling it, except that they seem to be purposefully deceiving people and I think that's kinda fucked up.
Well, in the cold climate I do need to use lip balm a lot more often...so it's not that crazy. But I suspect it just has to do with balms being a lot easier to make. You just need oil and beeswax. You can make that easily at home to test a recipe. Lotions are a bit harder, but surprisingly a lot easier than most think. They're just oil and water with a thickening agent. But, people don't already know how to make them, so they feel more apprehensive.
But yeah, they're using it as a marketing ploy. It's a reason to charge insane amounts and sell a lot more product, even when it doesn't use an effective amount.
I've found for me, it's around 10-20mg or more. Even those little overpriced frogs are like 5mg. Considering they're over a dollar each, they can go fuck themselves. I will be looking for better priced edibles though. I might just make some of my own instead. I can get the solid crystal extract for a lot better price.
