[Best of 2019] I tried getting chill and swole (chwole?) with CBD-infused protein bars

CBD is a weird one.

On one hand, it has acolytes everywhere claiming it to be a miraculous wonder-drug.

But on the other?

Theres little proper medical science backing up these declarations.

First off, what the hell is CBD?

Basically, its part of the iconic marijuana plant.

Another, and substantially more famous part of the same greenery is THC.

You know, the bit that gets you fucked up.

And those benefits?

Again, before we go any further, theres been limited medical research on CBD.

It has been approved by the FDA to treat some forms of epilepsy,but not much else.

Basically, this means everything below is my personal experience.

Got it.

So you mentioned CBD-infused protein bars?

Hell yeah I did.

Say hello to this badgal:

That, one and all, isthe JustCBD peanut butter-flavored protein bar.

Taste, texture tell me!

Its okay, yknow?

This isnt a bad thing, but is different to regular bars.

So, effects?

See how ready I am to play some table tennis?

Specifically, I did some cardio, weight training, squash, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ).

I experimented with eating the CBD-infused protein bar before, during, and after some of those activities.

First off, I definitely felt different after consuming the protein bars.

The CBD definitely gave me a weed-y feeling.

I wasnt high, but my body felt loose; I was calm, but my attention drifted.

I definitely wasnt high, but I did have a slightly dry mouth.

Getting that final push with weights felt harder than ever.

The final parts of a run was tougher than usual.

So far, not so swole.

Any exercise you found it worked well with?

Yeah, it was good for more flow-based activities.

For example, I felt relaxed and laid-back while rolling in BJJ.

Basically, I found CBD worked with anything that requires minimal amounts of grit.

What about munching on a CBD-infused protein bar during a workout?

But I did it for you, reader.

And for the gains.

And what about after exercise?

This is where I could see CBD in general (not just in protein bars) being pretty useful.

Basically, my muscles loosened, and I felt very chilled out.

Basically, everything was good.

What about getting swole?

Honestly, its hard to talk about the quality of the protein after using it for only a week.

On that front…not bad.

So, how do you feel after using these CBD-infused protein bars?
