I use that sometimes but I start at 1000. It works if you concentrate and not let your mind wander
Yep. If your mind wanders you have to go back to go and start again. There are times I have to start over 5-6 times.

Sleep, what is sleep?...lol. I have the same exact issue. I fall asleep but I wake up and can't sleep. Sometimes I can't even fall asleep. Mind racing with thoughts. I have taken Lemon Balm and also Passion Flower. I buy it in capsules, and it does seem to help.

What gets me is I have no problem going to sleep every night at all. My head hits the pillow - I'm gonzo. Waking up at 11-12 to tinkle is when I have problems.

Comes with age my friend..lol. As soon as I hit my 50's everything changed. Funny thing when I am at the in-laws in the campo I sleep better. But at home in Santo Domingo or USA different story. Have you ever had to tinkle keeping your eyes closed hoping you would stay asleep...lol.. Ok I know it's off-topic, but I am sure some of the DR1'ers have had this issue.

i would not pay any attention to the resplies that you get. Don't take the chance. It seems super minor but it's just not worth it to get in trouble for.
I'm hearing there are lots of Pharmacias that have some sort of CBD, but it's actually "Hemp Seed Oil" which they market as CBD. This is an apples to oranges comparison. CBD is truly from the Hemp Plant, but is extracted mainly from the Flower and the stalk. Hemp Seed oil is just that, Hemp seed oil. Please don't be fooled thinking you'll get any concentration of Cannabidiol (CBD). The true Hemp plant should contain high CBD, and no more than 0.03 % Delta-9 THC, which is the "illegal" area of the plant. Industry Standard: any plant above 0.03% Delta-9 THC is considered Marijuana and not Hemp. Rule of thumb, look for at least 15% CBD when you are looking for a decent dosage. How do I know? I've been farming Hemp Legally in the USA for 3 Years. Hope to eventually use my 100 acres in DR on a pilot project that is in the works.

Good luck!

Is CBD Oil Legal in DR? I wanted to order some online
big DONT DO IT !!! They don't f... around with this. Everything Canabis Related is ilegal in the DR. You can't even ship a Grinder with a forwarder. Why take the change and have this in your Record ? They can even deport you for this.

I've been splitting time between the DR and the UK for a few years now, and here's the weird thing: in London, I can legally buy THC products designed specifically for anxiety through a medical clinic, but if I bring even a bottle of CBD oil in my carry-on into SDQ, I'm sweating bullets the whole time. Customs here is strict, and they don't distinguish well between THC, CBD, hemp, or any of that, if it smells like cannabis, it's a problem.

I totally get wanting to order online (especially with sleep issues, anxiety, etc.), but the risk just isn't worth it. Best bet? If you're dealing with anxiety and thinking about alternatives, I'd seriously recommend looking into a proper medical channel while you're abroad. A friend of mine got real help through this UK clinic that specializes in THC for anxiety, and yes, it's a legit place where you can actually buy it safely and legally.

But here? Nope. The law's behind the times and not subtle about it.

Just don't buy CBD from Amazon... It's Hemp Seed Oil. I've been fortunate to travel with my 2oz CBD bottle in by carry-on for several trips to DR. No issues. Just put it in your check-in for less anxiety.

Either way you are taking a risk I would not take.
And say thanks for the failed war on drugs.

I've never understood the "anxiety" trend but I know doctors use it to push certain products for addicts.
A win win situation for all.

With THC?
I once brought in to Santiago some chocolate ThC edibles that looked like Hershey's kisses mixed in with real Hershey's kisses, and was stranded for an hour with my suitcase 10 feet away while the overworked staff were trying to deal with the fleet of people in wheelchairs, of which I was one. The airport staff had dogs going over everything. My only consolation was that the sniffer dogs were German shepherds, which I have been told sniff for weapons, while beagles are the drug sniffers. I lost 6 lbs of anxiety sweat. Never again.
