CBD

Has anyone treated their anxiety with CBD successfully?

Curious, as I'm considering trying it again. So much is published now about its benefits, and a friend told me yesterday it's helped his wife tremendously. I'd love to just sleep for more than 4 hrs a night!Here's a video about its change in public opinion (this happens to be in Thailand, but the US and other countries have changed opinion on it as w

  • I tried cbd to try to help my anxiety but I didn’t notice any improvement, I’ve tried 3 different brands - none seemed to help. It’s so expensive that I decided to accept that it didn’t work for me. I did like the taste though (I hear a lot of people say they hate the taste). If I had more money to spare I’d probably try it for longer - but as things are I can’t waste money on something that doesn’t seem to work. It’s disappointing as I had high hopes for it. 
    has anyone tried actual marijuana to help with anxiety? I haven’t had any since I was a student and I didn’t much like it then.

    Yup.  I am now registered with the Sapphire Clinic under their access to cannabis based medicines scheme.  And just before the first lockdown I became a member of a local cannabis club, which offered meetups, products and information on cannabis, in all its various forms.  

    It's not something I ever imagined doing and certainly, after one bad experience at university years ago, I'd decided it wasn't for me.  But at the cannabis club they had a range of really tasty looking edibles and, taken in that form, I found it as much more pleasant experience.  

    Then, once I realised both oils and bud were available via the new cannabis clinics and both autism and anxiety were qualifying conditions, I decided to try it.  

    Result:. excellent for my anxiety, sleep issues and to promote overall relaxation.  The doses can be standardised and I really like the oils.  Reliably effective and, after years of failed prescriptions (SSRIs and beta blockers) plus OTC remedies (passiflora, valerian, rescue remedy a etc) plus self medicating with alcohol, I realised that this came closest of all to being what I always needed.  

    I wish it hadn't taken me until age 56 to discover it!
