Thoughts?
I just started trying low dose of edibles for depression and I find that I do get short-term relief. I do only take it a few hours before bed but it helps me sleep and prevents some ptsd night terrors (which I also take meds for). Lack of sleep is definitely a fuel for my mdd, I am not sure about long-term side effects since I just started a couple weeks ago.
Does anyone have thoughts on this, or experience to share?
Thanks 🤍
It 100% was one of the reason I am still alive. This of the absurd stigma we all face with mental illness. Well something else that is stigmatized is weed. It’s socially acceptable to drink. Look at all of the devastation that has been created to families, friends and loved ones from alcohol. I haven’t lost a single friend to cannabis but I’ve lost several to alcohol. Yet, cannabis is the one that is viewed side eyed.
My body was consumed with fatigue and dread constantly. When I took an edible it gave me relief from the horrors for a while. It was relief without any major side effects at all. I am also not reliant on the cannabis.
Over half of people with depression are treatment resistant. So you have millions of people searching for relief and they can’t find it so if you do need an escape with a cannabis edible to give you a reprieve while you still try to get out of this insidious disease go for it.
Thank you for sharing, super validating! I agree with the stigmas being reversed, which is horrible. I am also sober from alcohol for 2 years, and always have worry about being addicted to other things, but I have not had a 'problem' with cannabis so far. I feel pretty functional... which is rare with my constant blanket of depression. I wish people and society were more open minded in general!
I eat edibles every night before bed. It helps me sleep and relax my muscles. I am 63 and my dr. never said a word about the cannabis in my urine test. It’s better than alot of the sleeping pills.
