Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

CBDfx makes a lot of products, however, I actually purchased this from a local headshop and this was the only product from this company which they stocked.  The container is a standard salve canister.  The label is a bit worn and lower quality, making it harder to read on half of the balms which were in stock.  I requested one which was legible still.  The label reads that it contains 2 ounces of full spectrum, non-GMO CBD balm. The texture of the balm was pretty similar to any other salve or balm (regardless of the actual ingredients, even non-CBD balms).

Product Administration

There are no instructions on the container, but the clerk at the store informed me the best way to use it is to apply it with your fingers or a cotton swab to the areas in pain.  I had my girlfriend apply this balm rather generously to my spine, as this is the greatest source of my personal pain. It took a couple minutes to apply, just like a lotion.  I then sat shirtless for about an hour while I played a couple of games.

Product Effects

I did feel a bit of a cooling sensation from this balm, however, I do not believe it was the CBD or truly pain relieving.  I believe what I felt was the coolness of the balm as the fan in the room blew across my back. Even after an hour, there was no real noticeable difference in my pain.  I then had to take a shower, because it felt pretty gross.

Final Thoughts

CBDfx’s Full Spectrum Balm did not treat my pain, but it did smell nice. And it also gave me a chance to get my girlfriend’s hands on me for a few moments, which felt nice.  I am a bit sketched out by the poor condition of the labels on most of the inventory for this product. It made me feel like that the products had been sitting there for a long time.  I did ask the clerk if he sold many of them, which he admitted I was the first to purchase and they had been there for a few months already.  I award this product a 2 out of 5 star Fat Sammy rating because of the scent, but nothing more.  I am not sure I will try anymore of CBDfx’s products, as I was quite disappointed with this one and cannot recommend it in good conscious.

CBDFX Gummies Review

Product: CBD FX Gummy Bears (300 mg, 60 count)

cbd fx gummie review

Manufacturer/Vendor: CBDFX

Cost: $59.99

General Product Info

The CBDfx Gummy Bears showed up professionally packaged and in a standard vitamin-like container. These are hemp gummy bears, containing only CBD and no actual THC. They are what is known as “full spectrum,” which means achieving the benefits of the entire plant, less actual THC (the banned part of marijuana, in most places and states anyway). Additionally, as the bottle points out, CBDfx gummies are non-gmo and gluten free (effectively vegan as well).

Product Administration

Personally, I take 4 of them before I feel the effects…and sometimes, I do 8 all in one sitting. The more I take, the faster the onset and longer it lasts. When taking on an empty stomach, it is felt sooner…though it can cause a bit of an upset stomach if taking too many of them, too quickly.

Product Effects

It’s very relaxing. Nothing like xanax, and nothing like marijuana either, despite popular belief. It’s more of it’s own thing. Like a really good aromatherapy session. Or the feeling you get after having just half a shot of alcohol, that sort of “mellow-like” relaxation. Maybe it could be compared to taking a really good dose of melatonin, without the drowsiness. I have found that these are absolutely perfect for relaxing before a flight (as in plane travel). Maybe there’s even some motion-sickness treatment-type benefit to be had there!

Final Thoughts

While I will admit that CBD does not really ever do very much of anything to me at all, these gummies were actually impressive. I DID feel more relaxed on these gummies. If you go at it expecting a normal THC-like high, such as the one you get from smoking weed, you’ll be really disappointed. But if you understand CBD is it’s own thing, and you go into it expecting just a like relaxation, kind of like a chamomile tea substitute, this IS a truly calming gummy.

CBDfx is probably one of the best there is in terms of CBD products and they can be trusted, as they do make quality stuff! In fact, he only reason this isn’t getting a higher rating, is because it is being compared so many other highs, psychoactives, mood enhancers, teas, sedatives, and supplements, which are capable of so much more than CBD could ever achieve, sadly.
