I'll be interested to hear about your experiences as well. Planning on trying it some day.

I'll be interested to hear about your experiences as well. Planning on trying it some day.
yeah, I'm rather piqued
I did find out Go Green will be fazing out the sweetener stevia
My ex boss' wife cannot tolerate the stuff, but the CBD does wonders for her
They ordered more, but with the orange flavor of which does not contain stevia
Figured I'd give a quick day one update because positive effects have been had. We got the orange flavored 500mg bottle.
We both took about 1/4 of a dropper each, and we both noticed an uptick in our energy levels and alertness. It's too early to tell about any benefits of pain relief, but I do like the energy boost. Gary, I can understand how your wife felt after she tried them, that's pretty much how I feel as well.
The directions on the bottle say to take one to two full droppers a day, I feel that would be far too much for either of us at this point but we'll see how it goes as time goes on.
One thing I did notice is that the labeling on their drops has been changed. Nowhere on the bottle I received does it state that the bottle contains CBD or Cannibidoil, it now states the contents to be "Full Spectrum Hemp Extract". I was concerned that maybe I received the wrong bottle of drops so I went on the Go Green website and had a conversation with a person in their help dept. That person assured me the contents in the bottle I received were the same as what was previously claimed on the label, just the wording on the label had changed. Below is a copy of the conversation.
well now
...that's a tad unsettling
yeah, a quarter dropper or even less did it for us
still does
for a half day or more
anxious to see how it handles you guy's pains
thanks, JW
I agree Gary. I'm still not 100% clear on why the labeling has changed, the answer given was kind of wishy washy. I guess the main thing is that the clinical test results that I linked to claim the amount of CBD contained in each item. If that changes it might be time to look elsewhere.
I can definitely tell you that the balm (as you already know) is great for localized aches and pains, we've got more on order. I will keep you updated as to the effects of the drops.
You're Welcome Gary.
actually, I'm a bit surprised the FDA hasn't flicked 'em more poop than what seems...seemed a rather fluid consumer intro
Yeah, the balm pretty much rocks
yes, the drops, I sure appreciate all updates
Thank you again , JW

Thanks for the update, Jim.
Glad your stuff works - the CBD field is rife with scammers since it is so new, and it's easy to get something useless.

heard that more than a few times
not a good one to just search and buy off the web unless a friend recommends

Or spending countless hours checking out the spotty research that's been done in the field ... and still coming away with more questions than answers.
Sometimes we just have to become our own test animals.
You're welcome Phil. I did find quite a few Hemp related products on Amazon and such that made the pain relief and energy boost claims but contained no CBD. It's the CBD that gives the product it's medicinal power, otherwise it's no more than a cooking oil.
I wouldn't have tried this if not for your results Gary. So much on the interwebs is a scam.
Just a dusting of late
The little mountain to the east is only snowcapped, telling this winter’s tale
Wild currants, the only berry that will bear in spite of this elevation, low temps, and pumice soil
They are rife here
Taste terrible
But
Plenty of ‘em
The wooden tapir, mimicking its buddy, a yawning pudgy hippo, is one of many reasons I do my morning stroll with my Nikon
A snow garland wrapped around the gate was a nice touch
The early morn became socked in
Rare here
Wailing prairie wolves added their charm
Calling thru the mist
It was hard to go back in for breakfast
But
Flapjacks have a way of doing their own calling
Fires to keep

12 UNUSUAL Ways to Use Hemp
I read somewhere that Abe Lincoln used to burn hemp oil in his lamps, or add hemp seeds to the oil.
"Hemp seed oil has historically been used as lamp oil. It is said to shine the brightest of all lamp oils. Hemp seed oil lit the lamps of Abraham Lincoln, Abraham the prophet, and was used in the legendary lamps of Aladdin".

Yeah, a lad down the path filled me in on how much better hemp is than even wood.
Told me many things about hemp
Hemp rope, hemp twine, hemp cord, hemp yarn, hemp fabric, hemp cement….
Started calling him Bubba
‘Course he has his little ‘hemp’ garden
Hey Gary, I noticed in an earlier post you have a picture of a dog and a lamb in the snow. My grandmother had one just like it in her house. Apparently that print was very popular in the 30's and 40's. Do you remember where you got yours? Doesn't matter. Just curious... :sentimental:

Gary, that lectern on the left - is that where you stand when you deliver your speeches to the woodland creatures?

It even looks like it has outputs for a humongous stack of Marshall speakers, for when the critters really pack the house.
"Reverend Gary's Wall of Sound"
So glad you noticed that one
It's one I truly adore
It hung above my bed from as far back as I can remember
and so comforted my little mind, easing me into slumber
Hadn't seen it since I left home, mid teens
forgot about it
after Mom passed, my brother and I were going thru her odds and ends
she kept mostly the odds
in neat little boxes
circuit boards from her days at Tektronix
cigars from her high school days (don't ask)
a quarter from her days of skating/car hopping at Yaws
and teeth
an extra set of partials...ever handle other peoples' teeth? a bit creepy
then, there it was
a rush of fond memories
it's the only item I wanted, or have, from my Mother
It's a completion of every good memory
Thank you for asking
soooo, we're there alreadyIt even looks like it has outputs for a humongous stack of Marshall speakers, for when the critters really pack the house.

"Reverend Gary's Wall of Sound"
past the mild comments
and onto the joshing/jousting
a sure sign of a deepening friendship
well, sir, let the games begin (I'll warm up the ol' ms-paint)
seriously (jus' for a minit) that, my brutha, is the 'Loo'
the very first structure built
and a bit hastily
we did argue a bit on the color, but settled on the camo appliqué
the only sound ever to come from there is more bear like, sometimes ducks, sometimes a jake brake can be heard
amplification has yet to be needed
funny Phil....funny funny Phil
(luv ya, man)

That's the head?!?
What, you have a lot of munchkins in your part of the woods?
You just stick in the relevant parts and let the rest hang in the breeze?
I'd be lost in your world. If it wasn't porcelain, I'd just hold it.

OK, a little show and tell
The Privy
Or Loo
Or outhouse
When living out a ways, near the edge of a more civilized world, one loses access to the finer accoutrements taken for granted
City water, nada
Septic system, nada
What to doo
Funny, how such a necessary function is not the first considered
when thinking about living out
weather is always a subject
food
washing
washing clothes
emergencies
Pooping? Seldom a first concern
Wasn’t for us either
But, grabbing the roll of TP, and a shovel
Trudging to the edge of the woods
Hanging over a log, or even an improved situation (three 2x4s nailed strategically to a clump of trees) gets old…quick
Scrap wood and a yen for something more civil, more private, and more comfy to sit on,
yields a facility, coaxed on by urgent ingenuity from even the most genteel of men
Prepare yer mind, open mind (it’s not a show piece)
I’d considered a half door, to observe nature while letting nature take its course
(got voted down)
Most folks dig a hole
Holes fill up
And, well, we know better
I have some dialogue a few pages back about composting you know what, so we won’t get into that here
Anyway, I chose a 5 gal bucket
And built around that
A layer of pine needles in the bottom
And yer ready to ‘go’
Adding sawdust after each sitting assures zero aroma, and pre-compost activation
The foam became a necessity in winter, and other than not freezing to the seat, quite comfy
As time went on, I added amenities, like a plastic overspray guard cut out from a one gallon milk jug
Wiping it with a bit of liquid sanitizer after each use (we’re not heathens…yet)
I’ve promised myself a facility with a more esthetic appeal
And it will happen
But this one sits so well……
HAH!Close your eyes and yer in......
The Woodland Throne room
I have a smaller version in the rafters of my shop
it's my guard gnome
so far, so good

Thanks for the explanation, Gary.
'Tis true - I've never used a privy. The closest was a 1/2 star motel in Tijuana in the '70's, but that's another story.
It took me a minute to see "LOO" spelled out - I swore from the bigger picture those were 1/4" microphone jacks.
It does look comfy, at least as comfy as can be in the woods. I'd still miss my indoor plumbing - I guess I'm just another spoiled pre-Millenial cultural Marxist anarchist.
