I vaguely tried a small dos in gummys it didn't help at all it maybe it worse, I can help someone people be calmer but my genetics don't take well to it

I have tried it and it took a bit extra than normal to work. But it makes me depressed because I wish I could feel that way without it. If you try it, I suggest drops (flavored not plain) or if you vape, that. My son has tried it and in middle school took a dropper a day when he lived with his dad. He felt like it helped with his severe anxiety. To some it does work like a miracle, other mayy have different reactions.

I have. It helps calm your body and not feel so tense. I’m a very small person height-wise and weight-wise. I take drops that are 30:1 ratio and I have no tolerance and it helps me a lot. but everyone is different.

I took gummies one time (about half a candy) so a very small micro amount. And the next day I still felt the effects. It helped me with my intrusive thoughts and anxiety. I was walking around campus like "this is what it feels like to be normal" lol. But another time I took, I didn't feel the effect and it made me feel sleepy and a little nauseous. So yeah that's my experience, I'm hoping to try other (more helpful I guess) forms other than candy

is there a specific brand you took. I finally got mine. The first day I took it, it seem to work. But I feel now maybe I should take more drops. I have heard it works more efficiently if you eat fatty foods with it.

I have. I worked in the space for a couple of years. Know all about it and still take it often. Unfortunately, because it isn't well regulated, a lot of product out there is snake oil. A couple reputable companies are Charlotte's Web and Nature's Root.
