I tried it and it never did anything, I tried all sorts of CBD products as well (while in SF) and I never noticed a thing.

The only thing that worked was microdosing shrooms which I've done twice in SF. I felt very calm and had a lot of novel ideas during these two days. Would recommend trying. Never microdosed LSD.

L-Theanine has a noticeable effect when I drink my morning coffee, it totally eliminates the jittery effects and smooths it out.

I've tried a lot of CBD products and some work VERY well (Feals, Soul) and some might as well be gummy bears (Cornbread Hemp). I generally disbelieve "internet" PR claims as well, but the two I mentioned are legit.

I'll eat 3 Feals gummies or 1 Soul "Out of Office" quad, and it rocks me. (M, 40's, 6', 170lbs).

FWIW, the research on L-Theanine in conjunction with caffeine is the only research I've seen that seems convincing that L-Theanine has any effect. I've not seen any convincing evidence that it does anything in the absence of caffeine.

I imagine you know this, but you do realize both of those products have THC, right?

Calling them "CBD products" is a bit misleading, even though they do also have CBD.
