Current Events > Anyone here actually use CBD oil for anxiety? Any real, unbias opinions?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Recommend any good brands, dosage, etc? How does it make you feel?

What's the best way to take them?

I tried it. Didn't do much of anything. THC gummies work though.

I think Kratom works a bit better overall, but i've had positive results with CBD. I've really only tried the "Hemp Bombs" brand, but it's helped with chronic shoulder pain and my mood for sure.

I drink a lot, and wake up very depressed often, and find that CBD or Kratom kickstarts my mood from miserable to tolerable.

People who claim CBD is simply placebo are generally uneducated and cynical with no real experience with it.

I tried it for a long time but noticed no difference, unless I was taking A LOT, at which point it costed waaay too much to be worth it. I would buy the droppers not the gummies.

Have tried the true full spectrum CBD tincture stuff, which is the purest way to use it.

Honestly, for me, large doses definitely do help calm me down. BUT...full spectrum stuff is crazy expensive. I spent $150 on a bottle of full spectrum tincture and it lasted about 2 weeks?

Go back to kratom, I see it in stores. It's a pill? Works for pain?

I agree entirely on the price point. Kratom is much more affordable, but if you take too much, coming down can be a bit rough.

I have tendonosis in my shoulder, i've had it for nearly 20 years, and it's tough to find anything to take the edge off of the daily pain. It's been dislocated 3 times and there's permanent tendon damage. CBD helped like Ibuprofen did before I got a tolerance for it. It didn't eliminate the pain, but helped enough to continue using it.

Yes, a lot of addicts use to to help withdrawl symptoms also. I stress just taking low doses. It helps more with mood than pain, but definitely works and has a lot more backing and support in these claims than CBD. There's a lot of legal issues with it, probably because it's effective and they can't charge you $400 for a prescription for it.

Depends on where you get your information from man. Theres as many people out there saying it did pretty much nothing for them as there are that it changed their life.

Bottom line though is it is not a miracle substance.

Is kratom legal? If so, where to get?

---

Kratom is legal in most states, I ordered mine online. I can PM you a link and you can see if it's legal to buy and ship in your area, when I joined they sent a lot of free samples, there's dozens of strains and whatnot but I never put much stock into it. I can link you in PM if interested.

This also, everyone is different, everyone has different levels of tolerance and sometimes things don't work for some people. it's like how some can use aleve, some tylenol, some ibuprofen, but one of those is likely to do nothing. It varies from person to person. It's not a miracle drug, it's simply something to take the edge off for me, it doesn't entirely eliminate pain. It just helps.

I use it to help me sleep and also help me with pain. I'd say which website I go to, but I don't want to get modded.

---

I've been modded a few times for discussing kratom, and expect it to happen again if someone marks it but I don't care because it legitimately helps a lot of people. Mods seem to be letting up on talk like this though, especially since Marijuana is being more and more legalized across the nation.

From what I understand, having an amount of THC in your system allows the CBD to actually activate. Otherwise it just lies dormant in your system.

CBD on it's own offers no real benefit with out the THC.

That's why people have such mixed results when using just CBD tinctures or products.

ppl get addicted to kratom dude. shit's fucked up. how about half a thc gummy and see if you like it
