Ah shit. After years of anxiety I still think I’ll die of a heartattack when I get a tight chest, dizzy and a pounding heart… Hope you’ll get rid of that fucked up feeling soon! :people_hugging:

I’m struggling to understand the CBD issue, as I’ve seen many state similar to yours.
There is no active thc ingredient in it so no ability to have affects of mental issues from drugs. They help stress, pain, joint issue, sleep disorders.

I don’t take the stuff myself but have many friends that do and even friends in the military that are prescribed it.

Not asking to be cheeky in anyway, just trying to understand the issue that exists as it’s a natural substance which seems better to take than pharmaceutical pills if the option was between the two.

Thanks

Day 76. Girls went home around 4 o’clock yesterday, and I just ended up kinda relaxing. Was nice to cook myself a dinner, made some home made french fries, and a mushroom Swiss burger. It was delicious, and then I hung out with my mom and step dad until about 6 o’clock and from there I just went up stairs and kinda relaxed, had a hard time falling asleep I was up until about 5, but didn’t sleep all day so that was good. I woke up at 12 and now I’m just waiting for my girls to come home. Tonight I’ll probably head over to hit a meeting here, and yeah other than that things are going pretty good. No cravings or burning desires while being here in town. Feeling pretty strong in that area right now which is good. So yeah much love talk to you all later

I was wondering the same, but I can understand if somebody doesn’t want to be dependent on any substance as I heard some eventually have a hard time sleeping without it. But I don’t know if that’s true… Would love to hear what your thought are on the subject @Noshame

Yeah some CBD products do have THC in them, for example a D9 caramel is very strong (albeit not nearly as strong as weed). I took D8/D9 products almost every day for the last two years and they definitely provided a false sense of relaxation and drastically altered my mental state. CBD products without THC can have many health benefits. This is why talking about CBD can be complicated because there are so many types and it is a highly unregulated industry.

Interesting Lauren, thanks. I used up a small bottle of CBD once, no clue what grade, but it didn’t do much for me.

33 days free of alcohol
27 days free of THC
:seedling:

I’m getting through this challenging time. I will not abandon myself or betray myself by giving up on sobriety. I love being sober and I have that if nothing else. I’m still learning about myself and it is interesting to see what comes out on the other side of this hypomania. I’m learning more every day what I need to give myself and what my values are.

Thank you @SolarEclipse @Misokatsu @CATMANCAM @JazzyS @Mira_D for the support :yellow_heart: I love this community so much. Keep going everyone, awesome to see those day counts going up!!

There are also other better things out there I believe for the same stuff CBD can do. Mushrooms are amazing, like lions mane and turkey tale and all that. If you look on Amazon you can get tinctures which help with mood, memory, anxiety and all that. I’m actually going to be order another thing soon. Be careful if you look at some tinctures bc some use alcohol to extract the mushroom.

Heyy chevy and @Naomi

Thabk you for including me :slight_smile:
The thing is the listyle of mine. My environment says dont. I cant afford it and i hounestly have no self control with substances. I want it right now but id be 5, 150mg doses deep as the effect is little

If its needed its not harmful but i dont need it. I have pharmaceutical percriptions i use for the mental health i need. Perhaps i will get off them one day but until then, why fix whats not broken

Cool, thanks. I am not looking to use for any reason, was more curious as I was always under the belief CBD was a fairly safe item.
Since it’s legal in Canada (as is marijuana) I figured its regulate and fairly clean if it’s says 0% THC.

But thanks for reply.
