Yes, you're right that full spectrum has what's called an entourage effect and can be more effective, at least according to some initial limited studies. However, it can also lead to bad reactions in some people, including myself, because it's not just CBD but a host of other phytochemicals any one of which or the combination of which could be the culprit. If you're having issues with full spectrum, then it's really irrelevant how effective it can be, since you can't tolerate it in the first place. The thing to do in such cases, if you want to know whether CBD works for you, is to isolate the variables. CBD isolate allows you to do this.
90 mg a day is not a lot to begin with, but it is if you're taking it all at once. Maybe try 30 mg 3 times a day. If that's what you're already doing, try 10 mg or 20 spread out in the day. Again, your best bet is to experiment with various doses, kinds of full spectrum from different companies and to try isolate. Isolate from Fully Activated is excellent, clean and potent, not to mention well priced.
Good luck!

Hi David!
I called Nick at "Fully Activated" this afternoon, and the first thing he told me was that he never had any of his customers ever report getting a headache!
Hmmmmmm .... now my BS alarm is going off.
I also asked him about using "Isolate" CBD instead of "Full-Spectrum", and he said that should not make a difference (not enough THC to affect anything, and the other stuff would not cause a headache).
Well, I DID have a clear effect from the CBD (i.e. headache and enhanced body pain) that got better when I stopped, so I now doubt what Nick tells me.
I will try just taking the 30 mg capsule once daily midday and see what happens. If the headaches don't return after a week, then I will bump that up to 60 mg midday.
Finally, if the headaches still don't return at a dose of 60 mg daily after one week, then I will try the 90 mg again daily (in divided doses).
Thoughts, David?
