CBD Oil for anxiety.....yes.

[Revelator]

The CBD oil works. If It didn't work, The completely corrupt F D A would
not be on a mission to reduce It's availability to those who wish to avoid the
toxic big pharma cash cow.

Well its been a little over a year since my original post about this topic so I thought I would give a follow up.

About a month after the original post a group of us were riding and my friend got the wobbles and went down into oncoming traffic in front of me. It was a fairly gruesome sight after the accident and while he was in the hospital I was having a hard time sleeping so I went back on the Kolonpin. After about a month or so I started a taper off regimen and went back on the CBD. It worked again but it seemed like I had to take quite a bit to get to sleep and focus at work. I bit the bullet and kept on that track. This went on for about 3 months.
It has worked pretty well. I am currently off CBD for about 6 months and have had way less panic attacks and general depression. I had to cut out booze completely the last three months for my head to feel normal and not cloudy but as far as the crazy withdrawal symptoms from no anxiety and SSRI meds the effects were pretty significant. I am not sure I would have been able to get off those meds, deal with the accident and try to live a pretty normal life without the use of CBD. I am not saying CBD is THE answer but it allowed me to try to focus on eating better, trying to get in exercise and just take better general care of myself which has made all the difference.

Edit: I should also add that my buddy is doing ok. He has made a recovery and finally back to work. Took a year but he got there...absolute machine, that one.

Anxiety, depression, panic attacks, etc.

WTF- am I the only one that doesn't have any of these ailments?

No. But it seems that it can be quite debilitating for those who do.

This had far more impact than you give it credit. Especially for depression.

[shakeybones]

Oh I definitely agree.

Studies all use high amounts in that range but anecdotally, people use a lot less and get positive results.

Some see a difference with as little as 10-20mg per day. Ultimately, buying CBD supplements and taking 300-600mg per day is going to be not budget and probably not worth the money at that point. When you tried it before did you find it helped at all? How much were you taking?

fucking pussies alcohol is the answer, stupid weed smokers.

I had a very severe back pain due to overwork. Nevertheless, none of the painkillers helped me. I remembered that my brother told me about the CBD from this site https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/what-does-cbd-stand-for/ and I decided to order it and put it into practice. After taking a few drops of this capsule the pain began to decrease and I was able to bend over freely again and lift something heavier than the pack.

It seems to me that cannabis growing enthusiasts now have all the conditions for a great harvest, so guys, read this news and do not thank me for this, because I know how fun it is to score a joint in good company and have fun from the heart. Growing cannabis is very fashionable right now, so for example I have several pots growing in the attic.

I don't but I do have epic back/neck/shoulder neuropathic, stenotic, arthritic, spondolytic and everyfucking thing else pain and CBD (or weed, or both) at night is why I can keep my opiate painkiller consumption under full control. (I'm also kind of a flat affect guy and not prone to addiction which I check for by yearly withdrawals where the only pain is from actual damage.)

If your pain expands into muscle cramps (my back did all the time) try a cup of tonic water morning and night. It works well for me also is good for stopping night muscle cramps.

I'll get some and give it a shot. I'll try to find a brand with more quinine. I already stay heavily hydrated but I like the stuff so why not?

Quinine has been used for cramps for a very long time and the dose in tonic water is small. I'll not be overdoing it like this gent:

I'm diabetic so only use diet tonic water so your results may vary. I find Schweppes and Canada Dry to work the best for me with all the store brands requiring twice as much.

I've got to give that a try!

[farmall]

Worth noting is CBD products vary considerably. One brand gave me indigestion while two others did not. It's worth exploring to see what works for whom.

[seaking]

Man that's a good idea, I get raked with cramps if I don't wash my feet in the summer and will be back up in an hour in general agony. The human body is definitely odd.

Was cruising the junk pile and seen this thread that I commented on years ago and thought I'd tell you guys a story related to CBD. The revision of the the farm bill in 2018 has made some other products pop up on the market in states where medical and recreational aren't legal namely delta 8 and variants of it, I'm guessing some of you guys have seen this stuff maybe even used it? The companies that are selling cbd products are making this stuff by chemically altering its molecular chain and giving it a more psychoactive effect, ITS NOT NATURAL!!!! and because of the farm bill they are able to sell it, you remember that k2 spice stuff that was making people have seizures and even killed a few? This is essentially the same thing! This stuff made my son so sick and we thought he had a food allergy or GI issue like crohn's and it turns out it was delta 8 that made him so sick his kidneys were on the verge of shutting down and he damn near died. I have another friend that liked the delta 8 gummies and she said when she stopped eating them she also got sick and was having withdrawal like symptoms. This stuff has not been studied so they don't know the potential side effects of it. Many people think it's natural and it's not it is chemically altered, if you see something thats advertising delta 8 flower it's just CBD flower sprayed with the delta 8 just like they were doing with spice. I just thought I'd throw this out there so others know about it.
