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 Wax Review

Product: CBD Wax Concentrate (CBD dabs) – “RAW”, 300mg @ 30 percen CBD

Manufacturer/Vendor: CBDfx

Website: https://cbdfx.com/products/cbd-wax/

Cost: $49.99 ($94.98 with the pen – recommended for sure)

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

CBDfx products always show up looking good. It’s in a cool container, feels high quality to me. It’s easy to use and if you got their pen with it, its even easier (which is highly recommended). Though, I’ll admit, all waxes are messy and a little out of my personal bounds of preference. Nonetheless, it was a consistent looking wax that had the same orange color I expected it to have. Nothing I have ever received from CBDfx has ever been damaged or seemed shadey. It’s all been pretty top of the line packaging, containers and product, in most senses. CBD is obviously not the type of hemp that gets you high like smoking a joint, so I went in this expecting more of an herbal tea-like high.

Product Administration

Dabbing with CBDfx’s concentrate wax was probably pretty simple in terms of actual use, and I would most likely be able to get about 2-3 weeks worth of use out of it, if I were to dab 1/3 of the time I currently vape, for example (which is sporadically throughout the day). It’s reasonable for the cost, as far as how many times you’d be able to do it. I did try it a few times, and found a concentrate vape pen the best delivery method.

Product Effects

Honestly, as a quick disclaimer: vaping CBD or using CBD TYPICALLY does not affect me. So, with that being said, I DID notice something relaxing about this dab. It was no where near as strong as say…a marijuana (THC-based) concentrate, or even smoking normal marijuana (nor was it intended to be). And it was kind of a harsh smoke that was hard to muster for the little gain. The actual effects are pretty fast though, within 30-45 seconds of administration, and it is kind of a super-light body tingle. Perhaps a good way to explain it would be a feeling that your inner muscles are relaxing. It does not last too long, maybe 10-15 minutes each time. But for CBD wax, that’s pretty good I think.

Final Thoughts

I do really like CBDfx and I really liked a lot of things about this CBD dab wax, however, mostly, I disliked the experience altogether of having to deal with the wax. So anyone trying to find a really good CBD wax dab, this is definitely (most likely) what you are looking for…it’s just kind of a pain to use ANY dab wax…and ultimately dabbing CBD wax is no where near as strong as people think it is. It just isn’t nearly as effective as many of the other CBD applications. For example, if you are looking for a topical analgesic, something to help with pain relief for a joint or muscle, I have always found the CBD lotions and ointments very effective…however, dabbing CBD wax…it just doesn’t do anything for me. Still, if you are going to buy any CBD wax, I do suggest going through CBDfx, they’re a great vendor.

CBDfx Lemonade Chill Shot Review

Product: CBD FX Chill Shot “Lemonade”

Manufacturer/Vendor: CBD FX

Website: https://cbdfx.com/collections/cbd-chill-shots/

Cost: $6.99

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

General Product Info

I have tried other CBDfx products in the past, and this time and reviewing a number of them, so just a heads up, this isn’t the only CBDfx product I am reviewing at this time. That said, this is the second one I did, after already having one positive experience with them, I was excited to try another product. This one was very energy drink-like…much like a five hour energy shot actually, in size and feel. It’s just a little fella. And it’s lemonade flavored to help it go down easy…as CBD doesn’t taste that great naturally (at least that’s what I imagine is the reason for the lemon flavoring). The bottle says it is rich hemp oil and that the CBD is “full spectrum,” like many of their other CBD products. This means it takes the fullest advantage of the entire hemp plant.

Product Administration

The way it works is you drink the entire contents of the bottle all at once and then you chill out. So that’s what I did. I drank the entire contents after a super light snack (just a banana and pack of fruit snacks, with a HI-C, yes, people still drink HI-C). The taste is pretty alright. Tastes sour like lemons. But honestly, that’s better than tasting bitter like CBD hemp oil. Consuming oil straight in general is nasty. Just be sure to shake before you drink it…as it is definitely worth shaking to avoid having such large concentrations of CBD oil making it really nasty. It’s easy to avoid if it is shaken vigorously for a minute before drinking (more like ten seconds).

Product Effects

Chill Shot begins to take effect (when you don’t have much in your stomach) at about 15-20 minutes. It’s a little faster acting than some of the gummies CBDfx sells. That makes sense, since it’s liquid and not solid, it is easier for the stomach and body to digest and absorb. It’s a very calming, very relaxing feeling. It reminds me of a time I was in an old school church that used incense to get the conjugation kind of high…and it worked. It wasn’t like a crazy high, or any hard drug, more like a light, peppy, uplifting and relaxing kind of feeling. That’s basically what I felt with the chill shot. It brought back a specific memory…but it was a good, uplifting and calming memory, much like how it made me feel. Amazing how the brain does that! The relaxation lasted about 4 hours before I started to feel my normal chronic aches and stresses again.

Final Thoughts

CBDfx makes some pretty cool stuff, and while CBD doesn’t exactly get you high the same way marijuana does when you smoke it, it does do something. CBD is more of a body relaxation. Many people try to explain it by comparing it to a “body high” and then people capitalized by marketing CBD edibles, which everyone knows marijuana edibles are intense body highs…but it is not like a marijuana body high. It DOES help with pain, it DOES relax the body and mind, and it IS a little sedating, but it is more like a strong herbal tea. Is it worth the money? Absolutely. Was it fun? Definitely. Would I do it again? Yes, I will, already bought more. I like CBDfx…they’re a good company and their products can be trusted, but it is wise to still always have reasonable expectations for “legal highs.”

CBDFX Gummies Review

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

Manufacturer/Vendor: CBDFX

Website: https://cbdfx.com/products/cbd-hemp-gummy-bears-300mg/

Cost: $59.99

Fat Sam’s Legal High Rating

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.
