I’ve suffered with anxiety since I was a kid, and things like CBT don’t seem to work for me at all. I know pills from the doctor are available, but I only want to go down that route as a last resort.

So does anyone have any experience with CBD products for treating anxiety? The reviews online seem mixed on whether they actually work.

    Yes, I have had great experiences with cbd, with the caveat that most commercial products have too low a dose to be effective. Cbd does not dose numerically like thc. It wants much higher doses to be effective for most users. The good news is that cbd isolate is dirt cheap, less than $1/g. Get yourself some cbd isolate and some empty capsules. Dose ~100mg and go from there.

    That said, I have much better experiences with CBG for daytime anxiety. I’m a glowing, golden angel with a good dose of CBG in me. I’m also so focused and productive it’s ridiculous. Seriously consider CBG and CBN for anxiety maintenance. CBN is more sedating, better for night/bedtime, also good for panic attacks in my experience.
