  • 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.

  • so taking paracetomol with cbd oil strengthens it back to real canabis effect?

  • Yes, to a certain extent - but real cannabis, especially these days with the strains they have, requires very small amounts to get me to a point of real psychoactive / emotional release.  However with CBD I was probably significantly overdoing the dosage (there is no recommended dosage, but I had gone way over the limits I set myself).  I suspect it was the THC in the “full spectrum” CDB that was having that effect, but from my experience and from what a lot of other people report, isolate CBD just doesn’t work, at all, its more the combinations of CBD with micro-doses of THC and the other cannabinoids that help people.  I also have to say that I am very sensitive to cannabis, always have been, and 90% of the population isn’t sensitive.  However, I also think that people with autism have a strong chance of being in the 10% of people who are exceptionally sensitive to cannabis / cannabinoids, because there’s a tendency to hold a lot of tension in the body, which can be released by stims, or cannabis, quite easily, causing anxiety attacks or worse, depending on the person’s emotional maturity.  But, I never had any problems with full spectrum CDB until I got flu and also was taking paracetamol.
