Alplant By Benedict Jones 500mg (50mg/ml) broad spectrum CBD Equilibrium Equilibrium does have a mild strawberry aroma but primarily it smells authentically of cannabis. This is particularly pronounced when used sublingually, which has been my preferred method. I found using half a pipette, approximately one hour before bed, to be a great application. I found this product to be noticeably stronger than some competitors, at the same apparent dosage. Balance By Benedict Jones Balance seems to have a slightly deeper, more earthy cannabis fl avour than Equilibrium. I’m a huge fan of the effi cacy of Alplant’s formula, so for those who require substantial doses, or are looking for the entourage effect, either tincture is an excellent choice. Both blends have a strong, somewhat lingering fl avour of cannabis, which might not be for everyone. Nonetheless, balance and Equilibrium may be my personal favourite tinctures to date. Swiss Relief Mint By Benedict Jones 250mg (8.3mg/ml) hemp derived CBD The natural herbal mint top note provides a light sweetness but very little in the way of cooling. This is complemented by a moderate hemp base, which works nicely with the herbal sweetness of the mint. The prominent herbal fl avours mean that it’s likely best suited to those who prefer a more natural, forward CBD fl avour. I enjoyed this blend most when dropped into green tea. 157
