Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

Has anyone tried CBD, either edibles or oil for their anxiety? 


Any thought's or results you can share? 


I have been hearing it is becoming wildly popular and even better than every medication out there. 


Let me know! I am seriously thinking about trying it.

If they do drug tests where you work, give this a bit more thought. Hugs.

it works extremely well for my anxiety and my sleep deprivation. I got prescribed it about a year ago. I use the oil for when I'm at work so that it doesn't smell and it takes longer to get into your system than eating edibles or smoking it. I smoke for sleep. Honestly I would try it. They have sativa dominant strains for sleep or relaxation which is what I tend to purchase. The dispensaries (if you buy online) are very knowledgeable as to which strains will work best for you. CBD oil generally makes you not get the "not functioning high" So you are fully able to work and understand but you are more calm. I would highly suggest trying it out. As well as hemp infused products like soap, lotions, and aromatherapy. They can all help as well!

I've never tried it, but I have a friend who said he uses oil, and it has reduced his anxiety drastically. He lives in a different state, so I don't know their rules and regulations, but it doesn't seem like there would be any harm in looking into it.

Make certain your work place is not one of those where drug use is immediate termination, no matter what.

There are times when the medicine works great for the person it is prescribed to, as per people who've tried it.

I have heard really good things about it. There is a new caniboid clinic where I live and my doctor actually gave me a referral. If you have a doctor's prescription for it, can they bust you with drug tests?

Thanks for everyone's response.
After a ton of research I ordered some online yesterday.

I am self employed, so I don't do drug testing.

I will report back how it works.

Hi TCC633

I have been interested in how CBD can help anxiety. I was over the moon when I realised it was legal in the UK (i was not expecting it at all, seeing as the UK is rather prudish when to comes to things like this!) I have found some really interesting resources during my research. I think they may be of interest to you.

You can buy CBD oil and other products in health food shops across the UK. Do you know any? I saw an advertisement for it on my high street the other day, but I didn't catch the name of the shop.

Thanks

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
