Medical marijuana is now legalised in uk. About time

I hope schizophrenia patients can get the cbd from marijuana rather than hemp. Cbd from hemp isn’t effective for me. But cannabis indica cbd helps me. Honestly.

And for those who hate cannabis and say it doesn’t help your schizophrenia, well that you and everyone is different.

If that day ever arrives.

i’d be surprised if Indiana has rec. marijuana in the next 20 years. medical there is a chance, it’s approved in Michigan ohio and Illinois. i’d probably just move to ohio. it’s not like it’s a green gold rush everywhere, there are still places that frown on it

Guys this is great news. I hope my doctor can prescribe cbd from marijuana to me. It’s great stuff.

Most schizophrenia patients don’t need thc, but cbd is a true medicine for a lot of schizophrenics

I don’t know how I feel about recreational use, but for sure they should be open to testing the utility of various substances for different diseases.

Oklahoma was the last state to allow tattoos I believe, but I hope it passes.

good for you @jukebox, enjoy it. when i was younger i wanted to move Washington or Colorado to live where it was legal, but now im more content. i still have my wine when i need it. i should get out and vote, but i usually leave things up to everybody else and skip

Still a long way to go before it’s proved suitable for psychosis/schizophrenia.

600mgs/day didn’t make a difference.

@firemonkey.

Do you know if they used cbd from indica or sativa hemp? I find cbd from indica helps me but from hemp it never.

Also. Were there drug interactions?

The little boy in England got no relief from hemp cbd, but indica helped stop his disease.

When I was on risperidone I tried cbd and it made me anxious, it increased my heart rate because risperidone already increased my heart rate and cbd even more. I tried cbd without risperidone and it made my heart race a little bit like coffee does.

It’s hard to tell the effects of cbd while on medication. But who really knows? Nothings black and white these days.

A lot of schizophrenics have a cannabis addiction, and I think it’s important they have access to cbd marijuana, rather than going to the streets and buying high thc skunk, which is terrible.

I wish the CBD in marijuana were made legal and THC illegal. CBD is an antipsychotic / anti-anxiety drug and useful, but THC is good for nothing, and causes / worsens schizophrenia.

I’m certain people yeah it makes it worse but the vast majority dont develop psychosis. Everything has a risk! :wink:

It is a good study with results similar to what others see when they post a study they find believing it disputes cbd effectiveness as an antipsychotic. You should note the study said ALREADY STABLE patients previously being treated with other antipsychotics didn’t receive reduction of positive symptoms. Meaning the study can demonstrate that cbd is working as good as other antipsychotics. If there is a increase in symptoms that would be much different. The study found there was no side effects too. So this study could be demonstrating even 600 mg of cbd is working as good as other antipsychotics minus the side effects.

There were better results with 1000mgs/day .
