CBD for anxiety

Anyone using CBD ??? I'm in California and CBD is huge right now. I've been taking a sublingual tincture of 1:1 CBD and THC at night instead of Xanax! It's working! I sleep through the whole night and have actually felt better during the day. I haven't been able to smoke pot in a decade due to anxiety and I'm not planning on starting but this medicine is helping me. I also bought a 1:4 vape pen that I LOVE!!! I so recommend trying this! I've been taking 1 mg of Xanax a day for about 10 years and haven't had any in 6 weeks!!!

I've been using a sublingual tincture of CBD only oil at night for sleeping that helps. I've found that if I take a few drops an hour or so before going to bed that it works better. I live in Oregon where it is all legal and easily available. Smoking pot only increased my anxiety so I didn't want anything with any THC in it.

So I've heard that as long as the CBD is higher than the thc it will not produce anxiety. I have a 4:1 vape pen that just relaxes me but no "high" feeling. You might want to try it... I can't smoke pot due to anxiety, I'm super sensitive to it but this has not given me any anxiety at all! They even have. 10:1 and an 18:1 if you want to be extra cautious. Good luck to you:)

I had a pretty decent amount if anxiety after trialing my cbd that arrived the amount of CBD is only cbd 1:0.3%thc

Im wondering if the cbd isnt strong enough that it caused me anxiety?

This made me a little iffy to trying the cbd again incase if it was the cbd ouk that gave me it

From what I understand about CBD is that it has no psychotropic effect. I would maybe just try the pure CBD without any THC. I know that even a small Amount of THC can cause anxiety.

I really hope you find one that works for you ! It has been so good for my anxiety.
