Question. Is CBD an antipsychotic in your opinion

Do you think that cannabidiol (cbd) is an antipsychotic and can be used first place in psychology and medicine?

Have you tried cbd with positive results?

Did cbd not work with you?

Or are you like me and tried cbd but not sure of the effects because you take antipsychotics which blunted your emotions?

No.

I’ve tried CBD to death.

Its expensive, trendy snake oil,

I mean as far as schizophrenia goes.

It might help a little with anxiety and body aches, which is nice,

But it will not make you less crazy.

Promise.

CBD may have antipsychotic effects. More research is needed:

agreed @kindness

didn’t do anything for me

but I don’t think @GoldenRex, I don’t think you should announce such conclusions so set in stone!!! After all, abilify works for me but not for someone else. Maybe its the same with CBD?

Possibly,

I just don’t think anyone should treat it as an AP,

Its not an alternative to medication,

Maybe a good supplement at best.

I agree that it ISNT an antipsychotic. But then I read about and watched YouTube videos of it being used as an antipsychotic.

The cbd still has the thc in it unless you buy the new cbd oil from RSHO, it has the thc removed , but it’s damn expensive.

I feel like I’m still trying to figure out whether I should waste time studying it.

Any thc, even in minute amounts makes me panicky.

I would like to try this new thc free cbd oil.

Other than that I’m confused but I might leave it alone if it’s snake oil.

It’s just too expensive to be practical in the dosage some suggests helps. Probably needs more studies too for me to take an interest.

I’ve seen people with schizophrenia on YouTube that cbd helps but I’m in the dark on it.

You can’t believe everything on Youtube, man.

CBD is not going to work like an AP,

I suggest you try it,

See what happens.

I don’t see the point since it has all the same side affects as traditional APs but you get to say “hey bro i take weed to cure all my ailments HHHHUUUURRRRRFFFFFF” Which is in itself childish in my eyes.

But it doesn’t have the same side-effects.

There is currently 5 phase 2 clinical trials that I know of where cbd is being used as a recovery agent for people with sz. All these studies are being conducted by reputable researchers and the methodology is top-notch.

The doses used in these studies go from 400mg of purified CBD to 1250mg/day. And that’s why any attempt at self-medicating with CBD doesn’t work.
You don’t have access to pure CBD and you can’t get the amount needed to treat sz.

As far as side effects, there is some restlessness and that’s about it.

But I am with Arturo, most people that tell u they are using CBD to treat sz are just wanna be cool anti-big pharma weed ppl. Science says what they are doing doesn’t work.

How do you explain this video?

I don’t get it, is it an antipsychotic?

I can even have the smallest amount of thc or I go panicky. Pharmaceutical grade cbd without that stupid thc might be the answer. I want to try 100% cbd without the thc.

One more thing. My friend failed a drug test using hemp oil cbd. Be careful because they contain small amounts of thc and it builds up in the system. My friend almost lost his job.

It is an AP. And it will work in some cases. Prof. Leweke used >1g/day for one month if I remember correctly to treat that one patient.

Also CBD is generally used along side traditional APs to improve recovery.

If u are in the US there is a clinical trial @Yale u could consider joining.

Here’s the 100% thc-free cbd oil. You’ll choke when you see the prices. It’s real scientific hemp oil (RSHO) without even the slightest bit of thc.

Hemp is not pure CBD. I tried CW hemp oil and couldn’t tolerate the low amount of THC.

I tried Elixinol which is supposed to be THC-free, didn’t work. Also remember that hemp oil is not purified CBD oil even if THC-free.

My advice: try it out.

Same here, I tried CW cbd oil, but it felt like I smoked a joint.

Elixinol has thc in small amounts, I just checked. I’m talking about pharmaceutical grade cbd oil which has absolutely no thc in it.
