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

    It's a definite concern but I'm not sure about the levels of risk and also many of the studies I've seen don't differentiate between strains (those with higher CBD:THC ratios might have a more protective effect), associated use of other substances (e.g. mixing with tobacco and always smoking street cannabis) or preexisting tendencies/predispositions.  So yes, I'd be very careful and I certainly feel more comfortable being an older user.   I also bear in mind others' experiences and am alert to any possible negative effects, as are the staff at Sapphire.

    Cannabis and psychosis
    "Most reports examining associations between cannabis and psychosis have been unable to adjust for confounding that arises from correlated genetic and environmental individual differences."...
    "By not acknowledging the alternative, compelling and plausible mechanisms,3 Di Forti and colleagues' conclusion regarding the harmful effect of high-potency cannabis use on mental health is likely to be overestimated."
    “The results of the current study suggest that having an increased familial morbid risk for schizophrenia may be the underlying basis for schizophrenia in cannabis users and not cannabis use by itself,” note the researchers."
    "Conclusions: Substance-induced psychotic disorder appears to result from substantial drug exposure in individuals at high familial risk for substance abuse and moderately elevated familial risk for psychosis. Familial risk for psychosis, but not substance abuse, predicts progression from substance-induced psychosis to schizophrenia. Schizophrenia following substance-induced psychosis is likely a drug-precipitated disorder in highly vulnerable individuals, not a syndrome predominantly caused by drug exposure."
    "Today, medical science lacks sufficient data to make a definitive claim regarding whether smoking marijuana induces psychosis. If you’re young, consume a lot of high-dose marijuana products every day, and possess a genetic predisposition to psychosis, then yes, you are at risk."
