Information We built The Harbor because we needed it too — a free monthly space for stress, PTSD, and anyone who just needs to be heard

2 Upvotes

I moved around a lot as a kid — new schools, new towns, never really put down roots anywhere. Isolation was just normal for me before I even had a word for it. Then I joined the Navy, and for the first time I had something like family — people working toward the same goal, watching your back, bonded by the same long days and the same bad days.

Then I got out. And that family, that structure, just disappeared overnight. I went into a bad depression. Social anxiety got worse than it had ever been. What pulled me through wasn't one thing — it was leaning on the same stuff that got me through being that isolated kid in the first place: building things, losing myself in tech, and slowly making real friends along the way who stuck.

Some things are easier to carry when you're not carrying them alone.

That's why my friend Chris and I built The Harbor — a free monthly live circle on Mimea. Chris is a US Navy veteran too, and the founder of Shanti's Lounge. We talk about this stuff constantly — off camera, just checking in on each other, the way you do with someone who's actually been through it with you. At some point we asked ourselves: why keep this just between us? Why not open the door?

Chris, in his own words:

"The Harbor comes from the Navy. When your ship is in the harbor, it's the safest place it can be — and the harbor has a lighthouse that guides you home, especially through a storm. For me, that storm has been my own mind.

When you're in the military, you build this bond with people from every background — you've all got the same chiefs, the same bad days, the same storm. Then you get out, and that's just... gone.

I've lost friends to suicide, and I've been closer to that edge myself than I like to admit. I was lucky enough to make it through, and I couldn't waste that."

A lighthouse isn't much — it's just a light in the dark that tells you you're not alone. That's all I'm trying to build here, at a small scale. I'm not fixing anybody, not forcing anything. Just a space that says: you're not by yourself out here. There are other lights out here too."

What The Harbor actually is:

- A monthly live conversation about stress, PTSD, grief, and just plain hard weeks — not a class, not a pitch, just people showing up honestly.

- Private and free to join (members-only) — what's said in The Harbor stays in The Harbor.

- No pressure to talk. Come just to listen, or just to be heard. Both count.

First session — "Dropping Anchor: What Brings You to Harbor"

Trying to understand new laws/info on making CBD.

2 Upvotes

Hello! I'm here asking if anyone has a good link to an article that clearly goes about breaking down the new laws in the USA concerning CBD. (Thanks government.)

I am a caregiver for a person who experiences brain inflammation and CBD has been the most helpful for them. We are trying to figure out if trying to make our own CBD with what we understand of the incoming changes would be more useful. I'm also not clear on how I would go about that. I am used to making herbal tinctures of leaves, roots, bark, etc of other plants but am seeking information on making my own CBD. Any help is appreciated!

**Also unsure if this will block the purchase of the whole CBD hemp flower.

Can I order THC/CBD online from Utah?

8 Upvotes

If ANYONE who lives inside or outside of Utah even knows if I can order that kinda of stuff online I'd love to know. There's a new Law regarding that stuff rolling around pretty soon next month but I have this slight fear that I'll order those types of things online but it'll not be able to go through or get sent back cuz of Utah being Utah. I tried doing a Google search but either I wasn't really fully processing what they were trying to say or I wasn't so sure on what it was telling me was true. (Also I don't trust the AI overview with my life)

It's ok if no one knows either. Just hoping I could find a clear answer, really.

Living around here is kinda hard when it's mostly populated by Mormons haha.

Best tasting gummy?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for a CBD gummy for my grandma who has lewy body dementia. It’s tied in with Parkinson’s so she has a lot of body pains so preferably one that helps with that.
But we’re mainly concerned with the taste. She’s super picky in that department. She loves sour candy though so hoping for one like that.
Thank you!

Discussion Looking for a reliable CBD gummy for daily stress that doesn't taste like dirt or artificial cough syrup. Any favorites?

6 Upvotes

Honestly, taste was my biggest hurdle when trying to incorporate CBD into my morning routine. I tried various well known brands over the years including joy organics, which is super popular for being organic and reliable, but their flavor notes just always tasted a bit too much like raw hemp plants for my liking.

I wanted something that tasted like an actual gourmet fruit chew so I'd actually look forward to taking it. After doing a deep dive into clean brands, I ordered some gummies from TribeTokes. What stood out to me right away is that they are a women owned brand that focuses heavily on in house formulation and rigorous lab testing without cutting corners with chemical additives.

Their stress support gummies taste bright and tropical, and they smooth out afternoon anxiety wonderfully without any weird brain fog.

Are you looking for something strictly THC free for daytime use, or are you open to formulas that include minor cannabinoids?

I hope this is the right sub for this:

the first time I tried CBD was a few months ago. it didn't take much and I got pretty high. a few days later I tried again and nothing happened.

fast forward to now: I got myself a vaporizer and product (24% CBD, 1%THC). I've tried twice and I don't feel any effect.

Recipes Best ways to use cannabis

3 Upvotes

I use Cbd for chronic pain. I just want to make sure I got all the right information: - alcohol is the solvent that extract cannabis the best. So a tincture might be the best way to use this wonderful plant.

  • an oil extract might be second in terms of best extracting the compounds. Plus, cannabis compounds bind to oil (although I think I don't need to eat oil/fat when I use an alcoholic based tincture?)

  • a tea is another option, although you need to add a kind of fat(coconut milk, dairy, plain oil...) to your infusion.

All these three methods have great effects on my pain. I guess the water extract (tea) might be the less potent...?

  • I get the less interesting results when I vape. I use a dynavap. It irritates my throat and the effects are not long lasting and not as deep as with any edible method.

What are your experiences and thoughts? Any tip to perfecting any of the cited methods? (I mostly use DIY, with organic buds, so my preparations are all full spectrum)

CBD isolate in Canada

Hi,

Does anyone know of a good supplier for CBD isolate in Canada that will not break the bank?

Is it possible to order from the US? Prices there are so much better...can I use a reshipper/US address?

Needing about 800-1000mg/day, so bulk is a necessity.

Any help would be much appreciated!!

Thanks and muchlove.

Review CBDfx is not a good brand

1 Upvotes

I have tried both their vapes, and gummies. They are just terrible. They are overpriced and have bad quality control. One batch of gummies was too strong, and the other was very weak. And by too strong, i mean they were supposed to have 1.5mg of THC, and 50mg of CBD per gummy, but I feel like there was a lot more THC than claimed because having just one got me noticably intoxicated. I started just taking half of the gummies to avoid that and it was fine. But when I ordered a second batch, they had no noticable THC or CBD effect, and tasted different.

I decided to try one of their vapes recently, recently as in I have had it for three days. The flavor was initially overpowering and uncomfortable, but it faded very quicky, currently after just two days of very light use, and one day of sitting in its box on my desk, the flavor is completely gone and now has a bitter taste. I also noticed small beads of liquid appearing in the tube, which I believe is the actual vape fluid leaking out seeing as it coincides with the loss of flavor and effect. On top of that, my favorite part, I ordered a pineapple flavor, but it tasted like coconut which I believe is their Maui Wowie flavor, and just like how the gummies were way too strong, this vape that should have been barely even microdosing THC, it being 1500mg of cbd to 10mg of thc, got me once again, noticably intoxicated, which is what I was trying to avoid by using CBD products that have very low THC. And to add, I am not someone whos super sensitive to THC, when I used THC I would take roughly 15-20mg. I also havent had the issue of getting an unwanted high from other companies ive tried.

To conclude, CBDfx sucks if youre not a teenager looking to get high. Im personally going to stick with hemp flower because thats worked well enough for me.

If you want a recommendation, id say probably Tweedle Farms, their edibles feel consistent, and they offer flower you can use in dry herb vaporizers instead of shitty disposable vapes.

Need Advice Effect of CBD on my Whoop health tracker

Post image
9 Upvotes

Thought this maybe interesting to others. So I have had 2 cans of 10mg CBD in the day (goodrays, from the UK, FSA tested, and no THC).. I kinda bought it by chance from a supermarket and it's something I've never considered.

But the effects are really interesting on the fitness monitor and in myself..

Is 20mg a reasonable amount? Is higher/lower dose worth looking into? Is TOLERANCE a thing to watch out for if I do it every day? Timing in the day? Any other support/info, I've not thought about it until a random one last Friday!

I had a late shift Saturday night, and I had a couple of beers Friday night, and was off Friday/only worked a few hours on Thursday - so the big variable seems to be the CBD I think!

https://reddit.com/link/1wv09y8/video/469u4z1zyush1/player

Happy birthday to me! 🎂 Ten years in cannabis education. Hundreds of thousands of people have learned what this plant is and how it may support their wellness.

Three years ago, I moved back home to Grenada to connect with the community and push for better cannabis laws. This year that work paid off. Grenada decriminalized up to 56 grams of flower and up to 15 grams of resin for adults 21+, and once registration opens next year, you can grow 4 plants at home.

Say hello to Nug, Owl, and Ras, the characters I've been developing for 10 years. You'll see a lot more of them this fall.

New to cannabis, or have questions? I go live every second Thursday starting next Thursday, October, at 7 PM AST on https://mimea.co/live, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook. Come ask me anything.

P.S. The new Mimea Community app is live on Google Play at https://mimea.co/app. iOS is under review and will land this month. 📱
