I recently stopped by a great little CBD store, Nature’s Relief, in Raleigh, North Carolina where I met expert Hemptender, Maddie. A true cannabis expert will ask
great questions and take the time to listen. A+ for Maddie.
I bought 3 products: “Hometown Hero” Live Rosin gummies (25mg per gummy), Mystic Labs delta-9 THC (10mg) with CBN (5mg), and NYB vape cartridge (THCA 1ml vape "cart" - inhalable).

I’ve had Hometown Hero before. I’d give it 8/10 for consistent potency, but it’s not as tasty as some I’ve had. Generally, I cut it in ½ for a light-hearted conversation, but I would recommend ¼ to start.

I have a friend that is interested in trying Mystic Labs to reduce the need for prescription sleep aids. We’ll see how that goes for her and I’ll report back.

I’m excited about the NYB disposable cart. They can be fun because they are self-contained and easy to use. Maddie said the NYB vape cart is very popular. Compared to edibles, the effect starts within minutes (rather than hours) and it typically starts wearing off faster than edibles too.
The OFOW recommendations remain: 1. Go slowly when you try anything new. You can always take more later… 2. Remember to update your journal.
