Recent study shows medical pot not effective for anxiety, depression or PTSD.

I have anxiety. I used CBD for years and it really helped me. It also made my sleep great.
Smoking pot, though, usually makes me extremely anxious.
I tried Cocaine once and I absolutely loved it, so I never did it again

I'm glad I encouraged at least one other member to admit they'd tried cocaine!

I never did.. so does that mean you all don't like me?

No one thinks less of you because you never tried cocaine. Lighten up!

Two years ago, I told my PA for trouble falling sleep and stay sleep. He gave me a list of CBD doctors' name who rx and send to its dispensaries. All of them are very surprisingly close to my home.
Although I have NOT taken CBD, instead I've on Xanaxa to stay sleep, about 6-7 hours' sleep.

The place where I live is CBD is legal, although one article of local paper stated some cut-back to. Probably 'abuse to it.

I tested Trazodone, but not for me, side effect, mostly importantly not able to fall sleep. Everyone is different reaction.

I remember why! When I had to give my apartment a rigorous cleaning! Not for fun. Who would use it for that?

I believe all medical cannabis is sourced from the Cannabis Sativa plant. The 2 other strains of cannabis are Indica and Indica/Sativa hybrid.

Indica strains are known for their relaxing effects, Sativa strains are energizing, and hybrid strains have characteristics of both, but must be hybridized very carefully to achieve a desirable balance.

People can react differently to medical MJ, and some can have an adverse reaction to all 3 cannabis strains. Adverse reactions have nothing to do with the cannabis itself, but depend solely on how a person's brain neurons react to the plant's chemicals and which neurons are most stimulated by them.

For example, specific brain neurons in people with moderate to severe ADHD process and react to chemicals in an opposite way from everyone else. For that reason, caffeine is often recommended for a good night's sleep. They are likely to be unpleasantly stimulated by Indica cannabis rather than enjoy the relaxing effect that most people experience. They are also likely to experience a very different trip with medical MJ than the average person, including paranoia, unreasonable fright, and heightened stress or alertness.

So, medical cannabis is a great treatment for most people, and terrible for a minority.
