CBD and anxiety - Parapluie - 06-16-2025
I wanted to share some experiences with CBD for anxiety relief, and would be curious to hear what people have thought. I hope that this will be helpful to someone.
First off, I don't currently use it since I moved and the only places I can find aren't workable for me (see below!).
In my old (and I hope, future) location it was easy to find in doses of 10-25 mg. Although the brand of 25 that I could find had another cannabinoids. Also I'm really sensitive to all of them, 25mg is my personal ceiling (the extra ingredient is liable to make my anxiety worse), and it's never happened often. If I find it here, it's in really high doses. I'm not sure if that's because it's less popular or to local availability.
On the other hand it was a good adjunct to other treatments and offered me some relief from some of my fears around some commonplace things. I'm not sure whether it has muscle-relaxant effects (I'm sorry! I should have looked!) but that seems to be the main source of relief.
YMMV but some side effects were: brain fog, difficulty waking up and some effects on my short term memory, particularly after it started taking effect. And of course that varies with dose.
Sorry. This is all badly put. If you've given CBD a try, I hope it's been helpful.

Indeed, they can be most helpful in a lot of cases...
and they make them stronger all the time it seems now..
I know of a couple-0-places that do the CIM and
a few other ways to pay up... I've never known anyone
they "got over on" .. Pretty solid spots..

It's the dose that always gets me. There are some pretty trustworthy places, but I can't believe how much they're putting in there. It's the same with brick and mortar (?) ones near me: even if their main source of revenue so to speak were something I wanted it would be too much. But sometimes the subtle effects have helped some in dealing with my phobias, so it's worth looking around!
