I did a lot of experimenting with CBD and its a very diverse area, from zero effect to quite useful, depending on the product and the dose.
So, at some point you are going to have to experiment to a certain degree.
In general, people recommend “full spectrum” products - they contain all cannabis ingredients, including the psychoactive THC.
It’s worth noting that paracetamol is a cannabinoid reuptake inhibitor, so will amplify the effects of the CBD / THC, which is not always desirable.
My personal experience with CBD was that it calmed my anxiety quite a bit, but one time after taking a lot when i had flu with paracetamol, it took me over the edge into a full blown panic attack - I thought I was going absolutely bananas until I realised this is what happened to me sometimes as a teenager smoking cannabis. Personally, I chose to investigate what was behind the panic attacks and so moved from CBD to real cannabis for about 9 months, until I had taken it as far as was useful to me, in investigating the feelings behind my panic attacks.
So, you will hear a lot from people who have miracle cures for their ailments from CBD, which I do not doubt, but it’s also worth remembering 1) there’s so much diversity in product that there’s no guaranteed solution 2) the stuff is cannabis and you have to be aware that cannabis can have very strong effects on some people leading to full blown panic attacks or even psychotic incidents if people cannot process their panic.
