Hi

I have been thinking about trying CBD (Cannabis Medicine without the THC) for a while now and due to recent changes in the law here in the UK you can now buy it. I am hoping it will help with my anxiety and chronic pain, Has any of you guys tried CBD and did it help?

I've been taking it for a year now. I think it's helping with symptoms but hard to say because I made some drastic dietary changes around the same time and had been on Entyvio for about 6 months. Entyvio takes time to really start working so it could've been that or a combo of things. I'm in Canada where rec and medicinal are legalized. My GI was telling me that CBD oil is shown to help symptoms in studies but doesn't neccessairly lower inflammation.
Even so, it's very healthy and does indeed help with anxiety as CBD is basically the non-psychoactive and anti-anxiety canniboid of weed opposed to its counter part THC. Hopefully you see some overall benefit from it!

H.,

I hesitated to answer because I am 99.9% sure you already know all of this...but at the risk of sounding like a broken record...

My oldest daughter has used M.M. for her anxiety and it works well for her. Be sure to ask for a strain that specifically helps with anxiety, such as Indica. (Sativa is too stimulating for most people with anxiety)

I hope you find what works...and get relief and a new tool to add to your regimen! Let us know how you do, okay?

I've had a couple friends who found relief with CBD, though, one needed a little extra THC. The strictly CBD didn't help that much. I hope it helps!

I once asked a leading expert in the treatment of anxiety for his opinion regarding whether MM could be useful in the treatment of anxiety. His response was: "If you like smoking pot (in a place where doing so is legal), go ahead. But there is no credible evidence that it helps treat anxiety, and there is some medical evidence that it can exacerbate anxiety."

Note that I was not asking him about pure CBD. So I don't know what his response would have been to that question.

Hi Medved

CBD has been proven to help with anxiety but it has to be pure CBT with no THC in it as that can exacerbate anxiety and paranoia.

I will keep you all posted of my experience I have not started it yet.

Hello Hibee.

I tried CBD oil capsules and tinctures (from various CBD producers/companies) for several months for my OCD/anxiety. I started at 15mg but found that 35mg produced the most benefit. I saw some moderate alleviation of symptoms for a bit but then it stopped working altogether.

Hope you have a positive experience. Cheers.
