I see no benefits of CBD for me. I don’t need to be calmed down or relieved of anxiety. If anything, I need more stimulation to get up and move. Some of this can probably be overcome by being more active, but it would be nice if I had something to give me a boost without causing psychosis. Caffeine is just enough to keep me awake.
I don’t think CBD is for me.
See, for me, the anxiety relief of a good flower strain like HCF’s Blueberry is like taking a load off my shoulders. It significantly improves my quality of life and my overall wellbeing. It makes me feel amazing.
its an antipsychotic
I realize there are some initial research into it having some antipsychotic properties, and maybe it may be good for a supplement to antipsychotics.
Like I said, however. I don’t need it. I have no psychosis. I don’t need its calming or anti anxiety properties. I just dont need it. It’s not for me.
There is a medicine containing just cbd called epidiolex, its being used in a trial that is ongoing investigating cbd as antipsychotic. Its expensive but maybe if you have a drugs payment scheme in your country it could be a good option
do you not take antipsychotics?
At low doses, yes. I have no interest in taking the huge doses required for cbd to be as effective as an antipsychotic. I’m good with abilify.
Edit: Plus, it needs to be studied more as an antipsychotic before I would be willing to consider using it alone as such.
