    A dongle probably won't work on your ipad if you don't have a USB slot, but you can get wireless mobile broadband (MiFi) or a SIM (you should have a slot for one).

    CBD is Cannibidiol which is found in cannabis. It is legal and supposed to help with anxiety, insomnia and pain relief.

    So far, all it's done is make my mouth feel a bit odd.
    Where do you get it from? And do you have to 'smoke' it? I think Georgie said she took it from a spoon.
    Code is the expert, but AFAIK there are 2 sorts of ipad/ tablets generally. The sort where you can take your own internet around with you, and the sort where you need wi fi.


    With the mobile internet sort, you don't have a dongle, you just use the SIM inside the tablet. Dongles I have met all have a USB connection, and not many tablets have a (full size) USB socket. Which is a shame, cos otherwise in theory you would be able to use a dongle with the sort of tablet which needs wi fi. (I think!)


    You can also tether your tablet to your phone and use that for wi fi (but it can be expensive, especially abroad).
    Yes, my iPad doesn't have the integral internet connection thing, so doesn't have a SIM slot. I might be able to get a BUS to lightning connector. It might work with that.

    My phone is a dinosaur, and my mobile tariff doesn't include internet. It's very basic, and I do want to get an iPhone, but haven't got the energy to decipher all the deals at the moment. :(

    I got mine from Amazon, and you can get oils in drops/sprays and vapes. I have an oil too, but I haven't tried that yet.

    I feel a little calmer but not sure if that's a placebo. It's certainly not a noticeable thing yet anyway.

    I wonder if you can get it from Health Shops.

    I'd imagine so. Are you going to give it a go Pyxis?

    If I can get hold of it, I might as well give it a go.
    Interesting that in the 'raw product', if the THC levels are high, the CBD levels aren't!
    In the distant past, well over thirty years ago, when I tried the raw stuff out a little, it didn't have any effect on me at all! Zilch! Total waste of time! So after several goes, I gave up on it and didn't bother.
    Probably no connection, but using gas and air during childbirth also had absolutely no effect on me! People kept raving on about how lovely it was! Did nothing for me and didn't even numb the pain! I feel hard-done by!
    The isolated CBD might work better on me! Without the potential detrimental effects.

    I'm a bit nervous of getting supplements over the internet.....you hear such dire tales of stock that's not up to standard.
    Isn't that what this site is for? :D (When you have the energy, of course!)

    Yes! :D but I'm not 100% and even when I am, I have to be in the mood for it! There's so much other stuff to do, that I back-burner it!
    Surprise, surprise!

    OK, so 50 minutes later. I feel more calm. I just had a jolt of pain down my face. I still felt it but it felt a little blunter than usual. My throat feels weird, I suspect because I'm out of practice inhaling smoke or vapours. So far, ok.

    Have you tried putting drops under your tongue?
