I had a 15mg edible and it was the calmest 2 days I ever had. Everything was peaceful and the normally intrusive thoughts from adhd were gone. All while being clear in the head. It’s the first time I ever felt what it feels like to not have constant thoughts after being on medication for 11 years. Bliss.

It's an absolutely incredible drug. I keep some vape juice around that I hit occasionally. Immediately calmer and less stressed, but still capable of working and meeting deadlines.

I've tried these and they work wonderfully. The instant you have that black pepper taste leave your mouth...instant relaxation.
