Karma Coast 1500mg CBD OIl

I hope you’ll take my word for it, that here are two of the best tasting and most effective CBD products on the market.  Karma Coast’s CBD oil and vape pen cartridges are as good as you can get and I have the experience and knowledge of this market to be able to make that statement with confidence.

Karma Coast CBD Vape Cartridge

I first sampled CBD oil back in about 2012.  Nobody knew anything about it back then and I wasn’t at all sure that this new angle on cannabis wasn’t just another scam or some internet myth.  There were some pretty extraordinary claims being made around Real Scientific Hemp Oil (RSHO) but with its deliberate play on the famous RSO (Rick Simpson Oil), that simply reinforced my scepticism.

Then a good friend of mine with an appalling catalogue of health problems, fibromyalgia, ulcerative colitis, sciatica and more, started to experience some amazing results.  It wasn’t quite raising Lazurus from the dead but it he did get up out of his wheelchair and walk across the room – something he hadn’t been able to do for years.

Fortunately, I’ve never had any severe health problems myself but I’d already been campaigning on medicinal cannabis for many years and this felt like a breakthrough.  Back then there was little prospect of legal access to medicinal cannabis but here was something that was legal and offered many of the same benefits.  It was revolutionary.

It was the medicinal benefits of CBD that caused this market to take off.  Still today the reason people buy CBD is to deal with health problems and whatever the law and the medical establishment says about it, it works very effectively for millions of people.

One issue that has always been a problem is the taste of CBD oil. It can be vile and although some like their medicine to taste bad, it’s been something that has put many people off.

So I am delighted to have discovered Karma Coast products.  The oil is delicious.  Not just bearable or OK but quite genuinely it has a gorgeous cannabis flavour.  It won’t be any hardship taking this every day and holding it under your tongue for four or five minutes to absorb it most effectively.  It’s also supplied in sensible strengths and sizes at reasonable prices.  The basic 10ml bottle contains 1500mg of CBD in a genuine whole plant extract for £75.00. That means that each drop is equivalent to 7.5mg of CBD. For me, four or five drops per day is the perfect dose and this little bottle will last well over a month.

The crucial point is that this is a genuine whole plant extract.  It preserves all the compounds that were in the low-THC cannabis plants (industrial hemp) from which it was extracted. Experience and an increasing amount of research shows that this is how to deliver the benefits of CBD. Isolate-based products simply don’t work as effectively.  The bad news is that if the Food Standards Agency (FSA) gets its way then isolate-based products are going to take over and dominate the market. It is being supported by a big business lobbyist organisation, the Association for the Cannabinoid Industry (ACI), which is intent on taking over the market and wiping out the small businesses like Karma Coast that are delivering products that actually work.  The good news is that the FSA has slipped up in its definitions. It doesn’t really understand what CBD products are and a genuine whole plant product like Karma Coast won’t be subject to the ‘novel foods’ rules it has introduced.

So to the vape cartridges. Vaping CBD is the most effective method of absorption there is.  It can get three or four times more CBD into your bloodstream than ingesting the same amount of oil. The effect doesn’t last as long though, so if you’re using CBD for pain, anxiety or as a sleep aid, you should take your main dose as oil and use a vape to top up or accelerate the effect you need.

The brilliant thing Karma Coast offers is a range of flavours and, harking back to my hash smoking teenage years, I chose the Moroccan Hash variety.  Wow!  It really does bring back memories and the taste is exactly right.  This is achieved by addng terpenes to the oil to match the cannabis flavour you’re looking for – and it really works.

So I’m very fortunate in that I get offered a lot of CBD products to try.  The best I can say is that I am very happy to spend my own money on Karma Coast.  I highly recommend these products.  Go to the company website for more details and to order: https://www.karmacoastcbd.co.uk/
