CBD oil Medical Marijuana?

[[Re...]]

My dr has prescribed me medical Marijuana for sleep anxiety and severe inflammation from an underlying disease. I am going to go to a clinc that tells you what kind you need for symptoms. Anyone had any luck with this?

Thanks

For me medical MJ worsened mental symptoms, and increased anxiety. Everyone is different however. CBD oil also had a paradoxical effect on me and kept me awake. Again, everyone is different but I think I am just cursed to have a special kind of severe insomnia that seems unmanageable. I hope you find some sleep my friend.

I've had the same experience as billybatts--tried both CBD and CBN stuff and didn't have good results, just anxiety. If you do give it a shot, start with an absolutely tiny amount and give it time, like hours, to react. If it goes bad, remember that it will pass. Frankly if you don't have recreational experience with it, positive experiences, I wouldn't recommend it.

CBD has some good inflammation qualities, so it may be good for that.  It may help with some types of anxiety, but it didn't help my sleep at all (the high THC stuff does). 

 

Cannabis can rev up anxiety/paranoia in some people, and I think people who have significant health anxiety make poorer cannabis candidates.  If you're genuinely afraid for your health, safety, or well-being, I'd be very careful with cannabis.  For more 'ego'-based anxiety, I think cannabis can be pretty useful.

Interesting insight about types of anxiety and cannabis. Definitely makes sense, applying it to myself. I tried some CBD type stuff for a brief period in November... I got some sleep for a few nights, and then one night it gave me the worst cotton mouth- my throat felt like it was closing and I panicked and was up all night! Definitely related to health anxiety. I won't use it again. I know it helps lots of people, though!
