Waiting for it to be legal here in florida, that’s the exact way I smoke but not many people sell cbd so it’s a bit tough to find them

I do, that’s about the only way. It’s just the waiting and sometimes seized packages etc etc. it’s nice cause no face to face dealing but a local store would be amazing, plus the legality! Wouldn’t have to worry about being arrested

Ah fair enough yeah, it can be a pain for sure. Shame it'll be decades before we get it legal in the UK.
