CBD or cannabidiol has become a popular go to drug to use for a variety of problems. There’s only one FDA approved CBD prescription medication – Epidiolex. It’s approved for a specific kind of seizure disorder. But you can get CBD without a prescription and it’s being marketed for all kinds of problems – pain, anxiety, PTSD depression and ADHD among others.
However, there really isn’t strong research evidence showing that CBD consistently and effectively treats these disorders. There have been several organizations that have analyzed data and conducted their own research and to date the evidence is still inconsistent on the ability of cannabis and especially CBD alone to improve these disorders.
The good news IS, the research on the medical use of cannabis has not stopped. So just because we don’t have good evidence now doesn’t mean it won’t come. The drug Sativex is approved to treat neuropathic pain and other types of pain. But it’s not available in the United States, it’s still in the clinical trials phase in the US. However, this drug, contains a 1:1 ratio of THC to CBD.
Does this mean we really do need THC to get the therapeutic affect of cannabis? If so, that could mean taking CBD alone is a waste because it subjects you to side effects without giving you enough benefits. These are questions still to be answered.

Before I started to use CDB with Delta 8. And before my brain would not stop running. It is like the channel being changed every second. After I started to use CBD with Delta 8 and what a difference. My mind slowed down and I could actually start to sleep better and handle stress better.
I really like it. Let's also check out Weedborn CBD products.
I tried 1500 tincture oil for 2 weeks…. Nothing
I tried Xtra strength CBD gummies and worked good. Smoking CBD works great 👍 After 6 back surgeries and knee replacement I hurt 24/7. Just my 2 cents
I used 1000mg CBD oil (3 milligrams of THC / 0.3%) recently (never done drugs or drink). I had a horrible experience. I hallucinated visual/audio. Experienced depersonalization and derealization. The paranoid feeling is the worst. I thought I would do bad things, I was afraid I would kill myself. I felt like I would sync up to the "present/future".
I don't think the benefit if any at all outweigh the potential risk of say initiating a mental disorder like psychosis.
I would say it gives me anxiety , I have taken CBD oil with THC as without the thc there’s no potency of medicine
I have recently been diagnosed with BPD, but have experienced severe anxiety. CBD has been amazing. It takes the edge off my anxiety and allowed me to function, it doesn’t take away your anxiety, but does help massively with symptoms (like heartrate, IBS symptoms, shakes)
I tend not to listen to shrinks . I recovered from psychiatric abuse . Sunshine doctor I got news LinkedIn got scientific results. Big Pharma lines your pocket. Canada 🇨🇦 legalized CBD and doctor s prescribing it. Look drugs are patterned plants are patterned. I’m a holistic practitioner. I warn against shrinks . Deal with it your not a doctor just voodoo hoodoo
Please anyone here knows if it helps with résistant dépression?
I have heard this works for anxiety and depression doing more research because I have really bad anxiety and depression and this might work
Im getging hait follicile drug tested
Does cbd test on drug test
I smoked a joint filled with 18% CBD cannabis and LET ME TELL YOU that ALL of my anxiety was gone. No more stressing, twitching, or picking at my self. It felt amazing to be normal
As your fellow psychiatrist, this info was extremely helpful!🌟
Of course the FDA works to discredit CBD – it’s a business not a charity or to help others.
The results are “inconclusive”
– I dare you to go Pack .4 or .5 grams of organic CBD into a dry herb vaporizer and finish it in one sitting and tell me it doesn’t have extremely profound effects on anxiety,stress and overall inflammation. Undeniable!
The best CBD products can be purchased from the Weedborn website.
Isnt that because of how underfunded the research studies were years ago … reason why there isn't strong evidence.
Cbd/thc oil really helped my pain and tremors, also my muscle spasms. However it makes me really really dizzy for days! I used 1:1 and 20 : 1 cbd,/thc. It felt great for a day but the next day I couldn’t stand up right.
I was told that kava would fuck my liver too and i used it heavily for anxiety and I'm just fine in that regard. Sounds like some fear mongering shit. Of course "they" will discount the benefits of cbd because big pharma loves to see you sick.
She’s crazy lmao screw pharma, they need to stay on their side and not regulate
FDA is a joke
I have used Weedborn CBD products and have healed without any problems. Now my whole family is healthy.
I had this problem too.
I had this problem too. This is what I used Weedborn CBD products for 🙂

I live in Canada cannabis is legal here. I struggle with anxiety some depression I take wellbutrin and cbd. I take a high content of cbd with very low thc I don't feel high at all and my anxiety has been better. I have tried multiple medications atleast 6 none really helped only killed my junk SSRIs not great in my opinion. I do know other people it works for them. Anyways what I'm trying to get at if doctors say try prozac that didn't work try zoloft oh that didn't work try effexor. Why not try cbd too? But one man's opinion good luck everybody anxiety sucks wouldn't wish it on anyone
Marijuana has saved my health.
And still is.
It's rubbish I've tried all types of cbd over 3 years.. Felt nothing…kalms work better
Effects of cannabis are not the same for everyone (?) You know . . . maybe that's because people are different (?)
I want to thank the great doctor Osa's who brought my boyfriend back to me. I had seen many hospitals, Dr Osas gave me medication and told me all the truth, and I trusted Dr osas and had him do the spells for me. It took awhile because it was very very messy between us. I had to wait for each spell to do its work. but once the last spell finally was working and the other spells had worked, that is when he called. we met. then it took many more meetings. but now we are back together and I can only thank Dr Osas, he is the greatest Dr that cured my boyfriend from herpes virus. You should also contact him Email:osad2383@gmail.com or him via: WhatsApp/Call +2349154653305.
i've had sleeping problems my entire life, since i started taking cbd my sleep has been amazing, the best since i was born actually
This is very helpful and gives both sides of the facts. Thank you
I had a small dose of cbd oil and i feel like my anxiety got worse and i feel like im high
Cbd help my anxiety and help me sleep, trying to quit smoking puff bars
stay away from men who do this
DECREASED TESTICS?? 👁👄👁 nnnnnooooo, THANK YOU! Glad I watched this. I feel very happy with how you explain everything. I wish this is what the news was like. You’re great!!!
There seems to be a lot of people on here who knows what they’re talking about. This isn’t for me, it’s for my wife. She is very easily irritated and gets anxious at a drop of a dime. She’s had a drinking problem in the past, and it was to improve her mood obviously. Thank god she overcame that! I take kratom because I suffer from anxiety and social anxiety, I’m also an ex addict to pain killers and suboxones, and the kratom has worked wonders for me. Unfortunately, she doesn’t like kratom ( it does taste awful and she doesn’t like taking pills)… is there any CBD out there that can treat my wife and help mellow her out but not effect her day to day living? Thank you in advance!
So u cant have Cbd on is own
This is a waste of time
I don't trust the FDA. Too much money involved with big pharma.
Doesn't CBD has opposite positives than THC? For a it'll positively relax me threw psychosis.
Cbd smoke a fat spliff was sick all over my bed
I didn’t know it causes liver injuries 😢
From what I’ve read about the studies concerning liver damage you would have to be taking upwards of 200 mg per kilogram of body weight for that to be an issue which is an absolutely insane dosage. However the study does provide crucial information in regards to the potential effects of CBD dosages.
Works great for my ads 🙂
Do your sufficient research before being rushed for surgery chemo etc
The government s allow for the sale of alcohol which they know kills people yet won't allow for further testing cannabis which there is plenty of evidence to support its use.i would expect also that cannabis for medical would have to be a lot cheaper than chemo and radiation to provide what s the hidden agenda
