I’m a recovering drug addict and have struggled a lot from anxiety ( that’s why my frug of choice was Xanax). Cbd has saved my life. I wake up relaxed and happier.
Douglas Bloch I take it throughout the day. I used to be a big weed smoker so I like to smoke the cbd during the day. Way better for me than the other stuff I used to do
It is incredible for extreme work related stress.. Like it switches off the stress/anxiety response, reduced underarm sweating etc. Much safer than Benzodiazepines
I started taking Full Spectrum CDB Oil a week ago for anxiety and to taper off my other medications. I was taking 3mg of Xanax 3 times a day. My doctor told me to try to take half of the dosage of Xanax and it worked. In only one week I'm taking 1.5mg of Xanax. I'm still increasing the dosage of CBD Oil and planning on tapering off other medications even more.
@@ellagraziani8999 I believe you could try taking CBD oil. I use CBD full spectrum 6000mg and take 8 drops in the morning and afternoon and 14 drops at night. You have to start at a low dose to find the lowest best dose for you. My GP prescribed to me, so it’d be better if you use a CBD dose calculator which you can easily find online. Always remember to start low and increase slowly as needed. And don’t worry about side effects, my GP said they are uncommon and mild, like a headache, mild nausea, constipation etc. If you feel something bad, just lower the dose and you will be fine
@Truus Hogendoorn I read that someone tried a few drops of 100mg cbd and had a terrible reaction. So Best start small and be patient. I went from 100mg to 250, 500 then 1000mg when a lot of symptoms started fading away. Rings around lights vanished, for example. I' 78 and I had probs with anemia, gluten etc. Never felt so much relaxation physically or peace mentally than when I went to 2500mg cbd. No side effects or hangover. Didn't want to ruin the feeling by getting stoned. Good Luck.
Up until August this year, I have been on Mirtazapine for the past 7 years. Was sick of the side effects (weigtht gain, memory loss, etc) so, upon discovering CBD, I began drawing down my meds in August and taking (low dose) CBD oil at the same time. I had no contraindications and also no withdrawal side effects from the Mirtazapine either. Gradually over time, I increased the strength of the CBD as I petered out the meds. I took my last pill of Mirtazapine in September and have since lost 7 kgs of weight, and have a more positive outlook and calmer approach to my life. My modes of delivery for CBD are oil, vape, gummies and caps. I just wish it was widely available and not based on therapeutic assessment requirements dictated by the government.
If Australia ever legalised this stuff I’m going to give it a go. I would take depression over anxiety any day! At least I could do things still with depression. I’m sooooo disabled with panic.
An hour ago I took 10 mg of high quality full spectrum CBD oil. After 15 min my anxiety went away, I feel relaxed. I think this is very good product for that purpose.
I remember watching a video about Charlotte a couple years ago and I cried! I felt so sad for that little girl but then knowing her parents found something controversial and were brave enough to try it made me cry tears of happiness! 🤗
We need to talk more and try and exercise rather than looking for a quick fix, i am bipolar and found walking more helpfull at burning off stress and pain, a good walk can calm me down for 2 days, i walk about 5 times a week for 5 miles and my tight chest has gone and feel stronger and regained some self respect, i have been able to lower my prescription meds without too many issues, if you are like me and did not leave the house much try putting on a cap with some sunglasses and headphones to feel more relaxed about going out, you start to realise that knowone is paying any attention to you. I am not running down anyone's methods to cope with their issues, just trying to say what has helped me more than anything else.
I could not agree with you more. I've done a number of exercises on the role of exercise in healing depression. Just type the word "exercise" in the search magnifying glass on the video page of my RUclips channel.
Me too. Currently trying to come off medication, as it works, but turns me into a zombie. So am trying CBD oil. I attack my anxiety from multiple angles at the same time. Exercise is one of the big ones. I think being on a low carb diet is making me calmer too. It certainly gives me way more energy. Listening to music stops the negative thoughts building up. Watching comedy. Strangely, I've noticed that when I force myself to smile, it can actually turn into a genuine feeling of happiness or contentment.
I did about 3 months therapy once, and the biggest success take home was that walking is calming. Its good for your physical health, its really easy to do. Its very difficult to be angry after a 30 minute walk, your literally just walk it off.
I tried CBD oil as I follow your channel and have struggles with bad anxiety and some depression for years. It seems like it really works so far I have had good results in reducing my anxiety. Thank you so much 🤝
I just stumbled across your RUclips in searching about depression and the benefits of CBD oil. You are very calming with your voice and your knowledge on depression and anxiety was so beneficial. I subscribed to your videos and website. Thank you for reaching out to help others and depression and anxiety has become an epidemic and most try to mask it. I downloaded your ebook and will be reading that. Again, I thank you....
I use CBD isolate and distillate every day for anxiety aswell as RSO to help with IBD and chrons disease 💪 the big pharmaceutical companies have done nothing but put out dangerous highly addictive drugs for years.....It's time for a change not only in the USA but world wide! (I'm from the UK)✌
roki feler rso is very high in thc. A rice size drop will toast you for a good part of the day. Its used and has proven accounts to break down tumors in the body and cancer cells.
I can confirm it helps mit a lot with general anxiety, especially with social anxiety and social interactions. Nothing from the doctor helped me like that, like Cbd does. Really sad it's not a medication yet, I have to pay for it on my own :/
I had an anxiety attack that would not go away for 3 days. I passed out of exhaustion. Then I decided to go get some cbd gummies and I had such a restful sleep
I’m currently tapering off benzodiazepines and I’m having a very difficult time due to the extreme anxiety. Because benzos basically destroy your gaba receptors, when you try to taper off, your brain is lacking gaba, and you basically in a constant state of fight or flight. Can CBD help with the fight or flight & severe anxiety during benzo withdrawal or will is impede gaba receptor healing? I hope u can answer this question soon as I am really struggling. PS. It’s Klonopin that I am trying to taper from. I’m having such debilitating withdrawal that I have to taper very very slowly so I’ve been tapering for 2 years and it will probably take another year at the rate I’m going. Please help!
@@livinginla200 yes ACDC has THC. The CBD:THC ratio is 20:1, which is the perfect dosage to not get high but still feel the effects of CBD. My guess is that he found out about this and looked for a strain with a 20:1 ratio, personally I smoke ACDC as well and it truly does help my anxiety
James there is a channel called Marajuanabreak. Where the just posted the top 5 high CBD and LOW THC. ACDC was #1! Still THC is a little higher. There are 4 more. Also look up a strain called REMEDY. LOTS of great feedback on this one!
Months have passed... Marijuana has changed my mind set.. I slipped out of depression and anxiety and I am not going back. I am in a bush fire and have no worries directing others.. Edit : Tasmania Australia
I would just like to say for the benefit of people who are very unstable and are thinking of using dope in its natural form, please be careful as it can in some cases push you over the edge. I learned this lesson years ago when friends of mine told me a bad trip was impossible🤔. Everybody is different and that's why it's important to be aware that other people's experience is there's and there's alone. Follow your heart, only you can know for sure if something has a positive or negative effect so don't run with the herd. Cheers Douglas old bean, keep up the good work.
I have PMDD (pre menstrual dysphoric disorder) and I take contraceptives to limit how often I menstruate. Every time menstruation month comes around, I feel like I'm literally going insane and that I need to go to a hospital. I never do because these moments are over small things and only last a few minutes. However, they are frequent, disrupting, and embarrassing. Think of those memes about PMSing, needing chocolate, crying over dropping a hair pin, being rude for no reason, etc, except it happens wayyy more often and over a longer period of time. I take medication for general anxiety but that mixed with symptoms of PMDD for one month is overwhelming. CBD is giving me immediate help with what I call my "tantrums" and is even preventative of them. I feel level headed, rational, and back to being on top of things. When an anxious thought comes in my head, I have the ability to simply think, "I don't have time for that," and it goes away, rather than fixating on it and getting more upset.
Thank you, Douglas. I was anticipating this video. You mentioned cbd oil in the past and I looked into it. I am a long time sufferer of depression/anxiety and have had many side effects from antidepressants. I recently got my cannabis card and have been taking a tincture of 2 parts cbd to 1 part thc and it is working like a charm for my recent bout with anxiety
i used a daily routine of 45mg CBD capsules to help me get off methadone. Now I take 65mg daily and it has helped me more than any anti depressant ever has.
I smoke CBD. It’s the fastest way to get it in my system, and I need it before school. It’s helped more than anything else. When I start to get anxiety I smoke and I’m fine for a couple hours. It’s amazing. I’ve been taking anti depressants for 4/5 years, and I’m only 14 (15 soon).. It also helps with my PTSD. It really really helps with nightmares before bed. It’s just an amazing thing. I’m so grateful to these people who created it.
@ Lynn S - It's currently used for illnesses like Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy etc to help reduce the effects of the symptoms like fits or pains. But it can only be obtained under prescription from a doctor.
Id heard about the epilepsy (re: that little boy on the news where his CBD oil treatment was proven necessary for his fits) but didnt quite know what else it would be prescribed for. I suppose for anxiety disorders they will not easily prescribe CBD and suspect they will want the sufferer to try all chemical based drugs first...yet, you never know! Time will see how this progresses.
so glad i found this video ....i'm taking CBD fr anxiety . one thing i wanted to comment is that when your buying cbd oil on line . ask if the cbd oil was derived from sativa or indica plant . those are strains that the marijuana plants have . for anxiety i can't have sativa only indica strain cbd oil . so check before you buy
Excellent information! Sativa made me anxious and paranoid. Hybrid was always different. But, Indica puts me right to sleep and works so well for my neuropathy in feet/legs. Pill form is what I use. Medical MM
I have severe anxiety and bi polar. Which has made me depressed as well. I just tried CBD for the first time a few minutes ago. I really hope this works!
CBD oil works. You have to experiment with how many drops you need, sometimes you need a higher dose. For example if your stress levels are higher than normal, a higher dose than normal dose will help MUCH better.
I was bipolar 1 with ocd and taking 12 different kinds of meds. I had yearly episodes where hospitalization was necessary. Now I take cbd only and practice mindfulness, yoga and live intentionally daily so I know in advance when to intervene. Sometimes if I can feel an episode on its way, I’ll take cbd with thc. SERRA in Portland makes a great new product that I love. I think having a variety is key: tinctures, gummies, chocolate-so long as the thc is on the low end, otherwise I get more anxious. Thanks for the video-very great to see people are benefitting from cbd.
Serra is at 220 SW 1st ave downtown. Definitely go there! :-) They have a new collaboration with Woodblock Chocolate too. Such a great company doing great things to elevate the profile of the industry. Have a nice day!
I just got diagnosed BP 2, I know it has been a year, was wondering how you are doing now? What dosage and how many times a day you took CBD? I am very close to being desperate, in times like these I find that exercise was my number one cure but due to having to work overtime I rarely find time to do so. Really interested in how often and the dosage most of all, I recently bought a 1500 mg full spectrum tincture from tommy chongs cbd company and new to all of this.
I take cbd oil for anxiety and it works. It’s amazing. My stomach used to be in nots now I feel super great. Anxiety sucks and my family no one gets how it feels. It’s terrible to live with anxiety
I didn’t have a big problem with anxiety until doctors told me to stop getting stoned. I hope the oil can help because nobody needs to be high all the time. 💕
It's been working for me the past three weeks that I've known about it. Picked up a booked "Healing with CBD" $10 with evidenced based facts, dosing suggestions, prescription drugs to avoid while using CBD due to incompatibilities, and other science and history stuff❤✌ Panic and anxiety free
I smoked a joint with high THC levels that set off panic attacks and anxiety in me for four months now. I'm cautious to use CBD oil but I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the video!
I've been smoking marijuana daily for most of my life. I lost my connection and turned to CBD oil as an alternative and it has helped with the withdrawls. I suffer from anxiety and it's more effective than smoking the extremely high THC bud I get. I'd like to eventually get to where we can all grow our own and just vape raw flower whether it's CBD dominant or not. I prefer a 1:1 ratio of THC and CBD.
i can only share from my experience that CBD has solved my anxiety. but i had to take a long journey till i found something that was strong enough, all the tinctures and the gummies were like shit. i'm now using wax or phenopen which is my favorite.
Thank you for your videos Douglas, they have really been helping me. I think you’re a fantastic speaker and educator, and I look forward to reading your book. Happy new year ☺️
I think for cbd to be effective for me I'd need 1 ml at 30ml bottle for 130$. That's a car payment if you need it 3-4 times a day. We become a legal state next year and I'm hoping the pot shops will be competitive in pricing and also that the thc works better in combination and that the small amount of thc with cbd doesn't give me the paranoia that thc does already.
Game lift. CBD can only do so much. There is some leg work to working out of depression and anxiety. If you are trying to find a quick fix to this then I'm sorry to tell you that CBD is not the only thing you need to use to overcome your problem. Eating healthy, exercising, speaking with others that have been through your experiences to get ideas on how to tackle certain areas. Your not alone. Asking as you keep pushing you will always have a future. Don't give up. Let life happen and just try to be the best you can possibly be for yourself. Lots of love. Hope you get through the battle.
I live in a state where cbd isn't even legal (ID). I'm absolutely desperate to treat my anxiety. I took klonopin for quite some time which helped immensely. But I'm no longer able to receive that script. It's rather unfortunate. The doctors try to put me on SSRIs or SNRIs, which haven't worked for me in the past. I've tried cbd one time and was absolutely floored how well I slept. It was the first time in, what felt like, forever where I was able to fall asleep easily and not wake up in a panic. I wish it was available to people like myself. I would much prefer a tincture rather than narcotics.
@EIRE you'll probably get the best results with a full spectrum product. What has worked best for me was a high cbd/low thc tincture. But vaping cbd was also pretty dang effective.
I moved to Denver, Colorado about 5 weeks ago to save my life, not just to live my dream of adventure, but for the CBD oil and the freedom to smoke marijuana for my mental illness. Smoking it actually causes me to have severe anxiety, but I found that the CBD oil actually works. Your videos means a lot to me, thanks for all the inspiration you give.
I've had ptsd/Anxiety/Panic for over 3 years now, never medicated. Hands go tingly, then it goes up my arms leading to hyperventilation, vertigo, pounding heart. Only relief i got was from walking or sleeping til I tried CBD. Now soon as i feel the tingle which is the early sign, I hit the vape and take some 300mg oil and 10 minutes later its gone. THANK YOU CBD
Does nothing much for me. I have the $400 super strong charlottes web one. It is only slightly helpful. I think mine is a pretty severe case though. I also take kava zinc and magnesium. Hope it helps some of you but buy a small bottle to begin with.
Was consuming kratom about kilo a month for a couple of years. After starting taking cbd oil, i had started to feel less urge to take kratom. In two weeks my dose had decreased to 1 gram a day. And after another week i no longer consume kratom, did not even feel any withdrawals. However when tried to quit kratom without using cbd, started to feel withdrawals crippling in in about 8 hours after last dose taken. CBD is truly a miracle
Thank you again Douglas. I have been taking CBD oil in the evening instead of my usual 1/4 Xanax pill and have found it to be effective in helping me sleep. I am now curious about using a CBD salve for diminishing inflammation.
To me the biggest problem with CBD is its price versus value. Like lots of supplements, I tried it, didn't notice an effect so wondered what percentage of users are actually experiencing a placebo effect. Definitely more studies should be done to give the consumer assurance that it's really effective for most users so worth the fairly high cost.
Its expensive yes. However if in chronic pain you end up taking alot of otc meds and some take prescription meds. Long term use of such meds will cause issues for anyone. Until recently I never took it. Always in pain always .....was getting worse and basically overdosing on aleve which merely dulled it after plenty of pills. My son brought me some cbd oil and I tastes horrible. Yet it does a better job than aleve and no fears on organs being destroyed. So trying to afford it in this lousy economy but looking at protecting my organs long term.
Such a good informative video. I've been thinking of trying the oil of some time for anxiety and sleep issues and will probably give it a go now. Love the idea that it may help with those night time scary worries. Love your videos, they are to the point and really help too :-)
The oil is ok for me. But ill tell you at least how my chemistry is is that I have depression and anxiety also ptsd and a brownie is definitely the best next to just smoking a good hybrid flower.
i have been on benzo's since 1973. if taken as directed they can be very effective over the long run. i never exceed the prescribed dose. the idea most people miss is what they actually do. they are supposed raise your anxiety threshold. too many people use it in increasing doses to cancel out anxiety. better to learn coping mechanisms from cognitive behavioral therapy.
I’ve been on a benzo for only 3 years. And in that timeframe, the medication (Onfi) has reduced my testosterone levels to almost zero. I am being weaned off the medication per my request. I’m using CBD and Delta8 THC tinctures as a preventative measure so I do not have a seizure due to my brain freaking out because an addictive substance is no longer present. So far it seems to be working. If it works well enough, I will continue to take them. Maybe even reduce a few other seizure meds I take that I do not like the side effects.
i may try this befor i jump on tho the hard stuff. my anxiety and depression is pretty bad. making my ocd come back. i need to chill but i dont wanna get high cus i dont like the feeling of being stoned. i use to be a drinker but dont drink anymore. this sounds like something that can help me
Been taking CBD by vaping it daily. Chronic back pain, joint pain and for anxiety. It helps me a lot ! I no longer take my Morphine break through pain pills. Now I just take my regular daily dose and use CBD for break through pain. My anxiety has lessened quit a bit so I'm able to get by with less Xanax daily as well. I even purchased CBD gummy bears for my Parents. Both with sleeping issues and joint pain. Grest stuff
@@Shurmash Ok brother have u tried it.. And I think seroquel is making me worse or what.. Coz i am on 4 tablets Lithosun, tegretol and seroquel.. So it is really very hard to know which tablet is making me blunt and depressed.. I am unable to speak with anyone.. Totally loss of interest
I was on anxiety meds for 5 Years and I quit all of them gradually and I started working on "self love" and it has been 10 month without any fears and free from anxiety & symptoms but after i quit anti depressants meds I started having acid reflux without any reason and I don't know why can i have anxiety without being anxious or any symptoms ? ? I mean can i have anxiety from the inside of my body without knowing ??? And that's can be the cause of the sudden acid reflux ?? I'm confused I'm not anxious,, and all the time I think positively and very happy with my life right now ,but I'm afraid that maybe I have silent anxiety I really don't know I hope someone have any information about silent anxiety
It's definitely expensive but maybe people who need it most can ask themselves "what can I 'sacrifice'" to get in a better frame of mind, it might be worth it!!
Cbd has been a life saver for me. It always brings me a sense of calm whenever I take my drops. If anyone is interested in purchasing a quality cbd oil that’s organically grown in NC let me know!
Hey my brother has anxiety (has trouble leaving the house, joint pain, sometimes even doing basic tasks.) Do you think this will help him? He’s on medication right now which seems to help but can have side effects. CBD seems like a better solution...
Special K Dude he would definitely benefit from cbd oil as well as incorporating some meditation. What is your email? Lets continue our conversation via email 🙂
I’ve been experiencing chronic pain for years but recently following near fatal car accident I’ve developed anxiety and insomnia superimposed upon constant pain now that before was only needing meds to sleep d/t pain waking me every time I moved in my sleep. Even with about 5 Rxs I take I am still struggling with insomnia. For the record prior to my accident I was sleeping throughout the night and never had a history of anxiety or PTSD. This is what motivated me to experiment with CBD oil. I take an infusion in MCT coconut oil roughly 50mg with less than 6.33% THC. I’ve tried CBD oil that has more or less THC, neither was good for me, struggling to get a consistent dose for effect which was sleeplessness associated with pain and both depression/anxiety. I got the most relief from CBD OIL that is liquid at room temperature thus “infusion “. I buy ampules that have 100mg CBD and 6.33mg per ampule is the complement of THC. I don’t feel high when I take it but it’s better than any prescriptive so far that my pain specialist and my PMD have Rx’d for me to treat sleeplessness associated with anxiety and PTSD. It costs $6.33 per dose which for me is 50mg CBD/3.17mg THC. It’s too bad the cost even with my medical discount is so much that I can’t use it as often as I would. Turns out it’s costly to grow a CBD heavy strain and then extract it into a medium chain triglyceride (MCT).
I'm currently on week 5 off sertraline after about a year? Mind you, I was only on 25mg because I couldn't handle more. I did taper over about a month. The first couple weeks were amazing. I slept like I used to, I felt myself... I felt clear headed and not overly emotional. Now I can feel myself starting to tank again. Occasional brain zaps, nightmares, emotional, negative thinking, rage, blurry vision, dizziness. I really don't wanna be on it anymore, I was on such a small dose but the side effects were too much and now I dunno if it's worth getting back on at such a small dose.
A few months ago I started taking 2-3 drops of CBD oil twice a day. I’m now married, run my own company and speak three languages fluently. Believe the hype!
Douglas Bloch - you provide some interesting info here on CBD and very use full info for many situations. However, I would caution anyone taking the advice (or following the practice of) reaching for a "thing" to get you back to sleep after waking at 4 am (comment at 7:47 ). It is MUCH more healthy (holistically) to self manage - to self sooth in these situations. If your current self soothing takes too long to do this, then find something better that works for you. The act of reaching for something external to sooth you DOES create a habit, and like a baby who is soothed back to sleep by its parents will become dependent on that action. IMHO this is not a healthy practice. Meditation, CBT - self talk, re-framing, NLP etc. or such is a more healthy approach than reaching for a "thing" to do it for you.
I think you have a point. What I do know is I can’t backwards from 100 to 1 while imagining sheep jumping over a river that passes through my favorite beach. It is a Hypnotic meditation.
I tryed CBD for the 1st time a week ago I didn't have anxiety for like 5 days I ran out of cbd oil and I had a anxiety yesterday so today I got paid and got me some more I cant say for sure yet but I'm all most positive the cbd helped so I'm back on it
This stuff works! Relaxes the whole body, great for pain and anxiety! I take 600mg 2x aday(oil drops under tongue! No side effects, no withdrawal like opioids, nothing!! It’s just really expensive and hard to find! Hemp bomb CBD oil was the brand I took! Watermelon flavour tasted great too!!
well, I've tried variants of CBD, IT doesn't seem to help as much as when I just smoke cannabis, which is kinda hard to do AND stay less stressed when in an illegal state...which if it was legal here I wouldn't be AS stressed and would actually have a job, which would take away the stresses in those departments... But I assume the CBD coupled with the THC and other cannabinoids and terpenes do the tricks...but...I also know for many cases, probably mine included, again I wouldn't need to smoke as much, or feel the need to smoke as much to keep calm if I just had a GOOD at least better preoccupation of my time...which yes I could go into practices involving growing things like food etc, which I would like to do if I didn't like in between hills and under tree cover...my luck...and indoors is viable here which well..no need to say anymore lol....but nonetheless, many avenues cause stress, because it is the necessity for money that makes your life either hectic to scramble for some, or fine...I personally, many others as well, are just in pockets of inability to maintain jobs the way they've been laid out before us...I'm a hard worker, but not at the constant pace of someone else..and my skills aren't exactly embraced here...(farming, yes, personal growers only if you got the land, the time, and the money and viable situation...I don't have much of either, and time I don't like to rely on..)
I'm dealing with neuropathy pain in my feet that's a big factor contributing to my depression and anxiety which I had before the pain 3 years ago. I got cbd oil 500 and afraid of my body or brain getting addicted as medication isn't working well.

Midnight CBD helped with my dry skin
Up until August this year, I have been on Mirtazapine for the past 7 years. Was sick of the side effects (weigtht gain, memory loss, etc) so, upon discovering CBD, I began drawing down my meds in August and taking (low dose) CBD oil at the same time. I had no contraindications and also no withdrawal side effects from the Mirtazapine either. Gradually over time, I increased the strength of the CBD as I petered out the meds. I took my last pill of Mirtazapine in September and have since lost 7 kgs of weight, and have a more positive outlook and calmer approach to my life. My modes of delivery for CBD are oil, vape, gummies and caps.
I just wish it was widely available and not based on therapeutic assessment requirements dictated by the government.
That time is coming. In Oregon there are no restrictions from the government. The same is true in Washington and California
Can you tell me what brand you use. Thank you 🙏🏽
Could you tell me which brand you purchased?
I’m on mirtazapine as well & wanting to get off of it. Glad i found this comment

Exactly. For me the anxiety was first. It is debilitating when it hits and the feelings that come with it cause depression.
If Australia ever legalised this stuff I’m going to give it a go. I would take depression over anxiety any day! At least I could do things still with depression. I’m sooooo disabled with panic.
Cosmic. Have you found a company yet in Australia as i have found one if you are interested 😊
Try Propranolol or Clonidine
Cbd 1:1 is helping me ween off my antidepressants which has never been tolerable before. I look forward to the future.
Which brand CBD oil are you using?
Can I ask what one's? I was a few and now it's effexor.
That's great! : )
So it also contains thc equal to cbd right?
@@mehmetcanengerek7084 Yes that's right
Love that striking pink flower in the background 😀
Hahaha!!
An hour ago I took 10 mg of high quality full spectrum CBD oil. After 15 min my anxiety went away, I feel relaxed. I think this is very good product for that purpose.
Just 10mg that's lucky
How many drops
@@moneer6413 it was 10 mg capsule. Now I take 25 mg - last almost whole day.
but how many drop per day? or do you mean you take one whole bottle every day?@@linaslin8742
What means full spectrum CBD Oil??
Started to look in the eyes of people without getting butterflies in my stomach. CBD is great.
Can I know which CBD oil have you used? Have similar problems and been suffering for years.
@@renu6476 we’re all different, you have to try different ones to find what works for you
I remember watching a video about Charlotte a couple years ago and I cried! I felt so sad for that little girl but then knowing her parents found something controversial and were brave enough to try it made me cry tears of happiness! 🤗
Your content is great, Douglas. You have a very warm energy which comes across well in your videos. Thanks for the information 👌
You're welcome.
We need to talk more and try and exercise rather than looking for a quick fix, i am bipolar and found walking more helpfull at burning off stress and pain, a good walk can calm me down for 2 days, i walk about 5 times a week for 5 miles and my tight chest has gone and feel stronger and regained some self respect, i have been able to lower my prescription meds without too many issues, if you are like me and did not leave the house much try putting on a cap with some sunglasses and headphones to feel more relaxed about going out, you start to realise that knowone is paying any attention to you. I am not running down anyone's methods to cope with their issues, just trying to say what has helped me more than anything else.
I could not agree with you more. I've done a number of exercises on the role of exercise in healing depression. Just type the word "exercise" in the search magnifying glass on the video page of my RUclips channel.
Me too. Currently trying to come off medication, as it works, but turns me into a zombie. So am trying CBD oil. I attack my anxiety from multiple angles at the same time. Exercise is one of the big ones. I think being on a low carb diet is making me calmer too. It certainly gives me way more energy. Listening to music stops the negative thoughts building up. Watching comedy. Strangely, I've noticed that when I force myself to smile, it can actually turn into a genuine feeling of happiness or contentment.
Demented Dave Hall how are you doing?
I did about 3 months therapy once, and the biggest success take home was that walking is calming. Its good for your physical health, its really easy to do. Its very difficult to be angry after a 30 minute walk, your literally just walk it off.
Yes exercises help but you had an static horrible in your ear 24/7 , and pharmaceutical drugs make you a zombie, you would to rethink !!!
I tried CBD oil as I follow your channel and have struggles with bad anxiety and some depression for years. It seems like it really works so far I have had good results in reducing my anxiety. Thank you so much 🤝

I subscribed to your videos and website. Thank you for reaching out to help others and depression and anxiety has become an epidemic and most try to mask it.
I downloaded your ebook and will be reading that.

I use CBD isolate and distillate every day for anxiety aswell as RSO to help with IBD and chrons disease 💪 the big pharmaceutical companies have done nothing but put out dangerous highly addictive drugs for years.....It's time for a change not only in the USA but world wide! (I'm from the UK)✌
roki feler rso is very high in thc. A rice size drop will toast you for a good part of the day. Its used and has proven accounts to break down tumors in the body and cancer cells.
RSO is the best for sleep
I can confirm it helps mit a lot with general anxiety, especially with social anxiety and social interactions. Nothing from the doctor helped me like that, like Cbd does. Really sad it's not a medication yet, I have to pay for it on my own :/
Interesting
I had an anxiety attack that would not go away for 3 days. I passed out of exhaustion. Then I decided to go get some cbd gummies and I had such a restful sleep
Idk why, but I laughed for bout 2 minutes straight with your joke in the beginning. Simple or not, wasn't expecting that and never heard that one. Lol
I smoke a CBD strain called ACDC that has helped tremendously with managing my anxiety.
James Del I am in ny in queens.... question is where to get some in queens ny :)
I’m currently tapering off benzodiazepines and I’m having a very difficult time due to the extreme anxiety. Because benzos basically destroy your gaba receptors, when you try to taper off, your brain is lacking gaba, and you basically in a constant state of fight or flight. Can CBD help with the fight or flight & severe anxiety during benzo withdrawal or will is impede gaba receptor healing? I hope u can answer this question soon as I am really struggling. PS. It’s Klonopin that I am trying to taper from. I’m having such debilitating withdrawal that I have to taper very very slowly so I’ve been tapering for 2 years and it will probably take another year at the rate I’m going. Please help!
@@livinginla200 yes ACDC has THC. The CBD:THC ratio is 20:1, which is the perfect dosage to not get high but still feel the effects of CBD. My guess is that he found out about this and looked for a strain with a 20:1 ratio, personally I smoke ACDC as well and it truly does help my anxiety
James there is a channel called Marajuanabreak. Where the just posted the top 5 high CBD and LOW THC. ACDC was #1! Still THC is a little higher. There are 4 more. Also look up a strain called REMEDY. LOTS of great feedback on this one!
Bro ACDC Punch. Best hybrid ever. Sativa dominant CBD strain. Most calming dabs while I’m trippin on LSD
Months have passed... Marijuana has changed my mind set.. I slipped out of depression and anxiety and I am not going back. I am in a bush fire and have no worries directing others.. Edit : Tasmania Australia
what do u mean?You were depresssed and anxious and mari saved or Thc get you there?
Marijuana gave me anxiety :/
I would just like to say for the benefit of people who are very unstable and are thinking of using dope in its natural form, please be careful as it can in some cases push you over the edge. I learned this lesson years ago when friends of mine told me a bad trip was impossible🤔. Everybody is different and that's why it's important to be aware that other people's experience is there's and there's alone. Follow your heart, only you can know for sure if something has a positive or negative effect so don't run with the herd.
Cheers Douglas old bean, keep up the good work.
I have PMDD (pre menstrual dysphoric disorder) and I take contraceptives to limit how often I menstruate. Every time menstruation month comes around, I feel like I'm literally going insane and that I need to go to a hospital. I never do because these moments are over small things and only last a few minutes. However, they are frequent, disrupting, and embarrassing. Think of those memes about PMSing, needing chocolate, crying over dropping a hair pin, being rude for no reason, etc, except it happens wayyy more often and over a longer period of time. I take medication for general anxiety but that mixed with symptoms of PMDD for one month is overwhelming. CBD is giving me immediate help with what I call my "tantrums" and is even preventative of them. I feel level headed, rational, and back to being on top of things. When an anxious thought comes in my head, I have the ability to simply think, "I don't have time for that," and it goes away, rather than fixating on it and getting more upset.
I'm glad that you have found CBD helpful
@Vee Dubbs...thanks, glad CBD helps with life's complex, emotional puzzles.
Im so chill now i could do a drive by and catch multiple bodies with complete relaxation and carelessness this stuff rocks

Thank you, Douglas. I was anticipating this video. You mentioned cbd oil in the past and I looked into it. I am a long time sufferer of depression/anxiety and have had many side effects from antidepressants. I recently got my cannabis card and have been taking a tincture of 2 parts cbd to 1 part thc and it is working like a charm for my recent bout with anxiety
That is good to hear. And what state do you live in?
Douglas Bloch I’m in Maryland
the cbd flower is nice for those coming off of weed like myself
😊 thanks.
i'm here cause i have high anxiety, epilepsy, hard time sleeping etc.
Have you tried CBD oil? And if you have what were the results?
i used a daily routine of 45mg CBD capsules to help me get off methadone. Now I take 65mg daily and it has helped me more than any anti depressant ever has.
For depression as well?
I smoke CBD. It’s the fastest way to get it in my system, and I need it before school. It’s helped more than anything else. When I start to get anxiety I smoke and I’m fine for a couple hours. It’s amazing. I’ve been taking anti depressants for 4/5 years, and I’m only 14 (15 soon).. It also helps with my PTSD. It really really helps with nightmares before bed. It’s just an amazing thing. I’m so grateful to these people who created it.
That Other Girl where do you get it from?
CBD oil is legal in the UK on prescription at last! Thanks for the video!
The big issue with CBD is getting the right dose buying from a. Good Co
Have you any idea what illnesses GPs will prescribe CBD oil for here in UK?
@ Lynn S - It's currently used for illnesses like Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy etc to help reduce the effects of the symptoms like fits or pains. But it can only be obtained under prescription from a doctor.
Id heard about the epilepsy (re: that little boy on the news where his CBD oil treatment was proven necessary for his fits) but didnt quite know what else it would be prescribed for. I suppose for anxiety disorders they will not easily prescribe CBD and suspect they will want the sufferer to try all chemical based drugs first...yet, you never know! Time will see how this progresses.
You can get CBD in Holland & Barret and a variety of health shops.
so glad i found this video ....i'm taking CBD fr anxiety . one thing i wanted to comment is that when your buying cbd oil on line . ask if the cbd oil was derived from sativa or indica plant . those are strains that the marijuana plants have . for anxiety i can't have sativa only indica strain cbd oil . so check before you buy
Excellent information! Sativa made me anxious and paranoid. Hybrid was always different. But, Indica puts me right to sleep and works so well for my neuropathy in feet/legs. Pill form is what I use. Medical MM
Im using CBD oil from Midnight CBD and ive never felt so relaxed since.

So...give us an update bro. How well does it work for anxiety?
I guess he died..@@roughryder5
CBD oil works. You have to experiment with how many drops you need, sometimes you need a higher dose. For example if your stress levels are higher than normal, a higher dose than normal dose will help MUCH better.
Very informative video, Douglas. Thank you.
I was bipolar 1 with ocd and taking 12 different kinds of meds. I had yearly episodes where hospitalization was necessary. Now I take cbd only and practice mindfulness, yoga and live intentionally daily so I know in advance when to intervene. Sometimes if I can feel an episode on its way, I’ll take cbd with thc. SERRA in Portland makes a great new product that I love. I think having a variety is key: tinctures, gummies, chocolate-so long as the thc is on the low end, otherwise I get more anxious. Thanks for the video-very great to see people are benefitting from cbd.
Thanks. I live in Portland. How do I get in contact with this company
Serra is at 220 SW 1st ave downtown. Definitely go there! :-) They have a new collaboration with Woodblock Chocolate too. Such a great company doing great things to elevate the profile of the industry. Have a nice day!
I just got diagnosed BP 2, I know it has been a year, was wondering how you are doing now? What dosage and how many times a day you took CBD? I am very close to being desperate, in times like these I find that exercise was my number one cure but due to having to work overtime I rarely find time to do so. Really interested in how often and the dosage most of all, I recently bought a 1500 mg full spectrum tincture from tommy chongs cbd company and new to all of this.
I take cbd oil for anxiety and it works. It’s amazing. My stomach used to be in nots now I feel super great. Anxiety sucks and my family no one gets how it feels. It’s terrible to live with anxiety
Yes it is horrible. I’m glad you’re feeling better
What dose ?
What was the dosage please how many drops how many times a day thank you
I didn’t have a big problem with anxiety until doctors told me to stop getting stoned. I hope the oil can help because nobody needs to be high all the time. 💕
It's been working for me the past three weeks that I've known about it. Picked up a booked "Healing with CBD" $10 with evidenced based facts, dosing suggestions, prescription drugs to avoid while using CBD due to incompatibilities, and other science and history stuff❤✌ Panic and anxiety free
Jay Phive you are anxiety and panic free from cbd?
I smoked a joint with high THC levels that set off panic attacks and anxiety in me for four months now.
I'm cautious to use CBD oil but I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the video!
Same here! Its almost 1 year for me that i had a panic attack from an high thc weed and ita like hell then i wanna try CBD oil hope it helps me out
The most common meds for Anxiety is not benzodiazepines but SSRI’s
Is it okay to take cbd oil if you are taking an ssri ?
Depression is worst for me,

Thank you! 👍
I'm glad the videos have been helpful
I've been smoking marijuana daily for most of my life. I lost my connection and turned to CBD oil as an alternative and it has helped with the withdrawls. I suffer from anxiety and it's more effective than smoking the extremely high THC bud I get. I'd like to eventually get to where we can all grow our own and just vape raw flower whether it's CBD dominant or not. I prefer a 1:1 ratio of THC and CBD.
U can if u live in Las Vegas.
I'm to Anxious to take it. That's where I'm at. Scared of my own shadow. Never been like this before until 6 months ago.
Have you reached out to A counselor, therapist, or prescriber?
i can only share from my experience that CBD has solved my anxiety. but i had to take a long journey till i found something that was strong enough, all the tinctures and the gummies were like shit. i'm now using wax or phenopen which is my favorite.
The best thing is to buy hemp and do your own extract. 10 times cheaper, 10 times stronger!
Thank you for your videos Douglas, they have really been helping me. I think you’re a fantastic speaker and educator, and I look forward to reading your book. Happy new year ☺️
I have any new year to you also. What book were you thinking of reading
***sigh*** If only things worked out like they were supposed to.

I think for cbd to be effective for me I'd need 1 ml at 30ml bottle for 130$. That's a car payment if you need it 3-4 times a day. We become a legal state next year and I'm hoping the pot shops will be competitive in pricing and also that the thc works better in combination and that the small amount of thc with cbd doesn't give me the paranoia that thc does already.
ive been feeling a lot better lately but i still feel like i cant see a future like as if im just existing, im feeling happy tho which is good
Game Lift - I don't know your condition but have you looked into Amino Acids?
Red Rock can you tell us more about the amino acids? Which ones? How do you take them? Etc
Game lift. CBD can only do so much. There is some leg work to working out of depression and anxiety. If you are trying to find a quick fix to this then I'm sorry to tell you that CBD is not the only thing you need to use to overcome your problem. Eating healthy, exercising, speaking with others that have been through your experiences to get ideas on how to tackle certain areas. Your not alone. Asking as you keep pushing you will always have a future. Don't give up. Let life happen and just try to be the best you can possibly be for yourself. Lots of love. Hope you get through the battle.

Excellent video. Very clear and informative content. Well presented and produced. I'll be checking out more of your videos.
Thank you.
I live in a state where cbd isn't even legal (ID). I'm absolutely desperate to treat my anxiety. I took klonopin for quite some time which helped immensely. But I'm no longer able to receive that script. It's rather unfortunate. The doctors try to put me on SSRIs or SNRIs, which haven't worked for me in the past. I've tried cbd one time and was absolutely floored how well I slept. It was the first time in, what felt like, forever where I was able to fall asleep easily and not wake up in a panic. I wish it was available to people like myself. I would much prefer a tincture rather than narcotics.
@EIRE it's not great cbd. I would argue that it might even be fake since it's not legal in every state.
@EIRE you'll probably get the best results with a full spectrum product. What has worked best for me was a high cbd/low thc tincture. But vaping cbd was also pretty dang effective.
I heard CBD is noe legal in all 50 states just the other day. Are you sure it’s not where you are??

I moved to Denver, Colorado about 5 weeks ago to save my life, not just to live my dream of adventure, but for the CBD oil and the freedom to smoke marijuana for my mental illness.

Do you vape it ??? Or use it in liquid I’m and thinking of purchasing CBD .
I've had ptsd/Anxiety/Panic for over 3 years now, never medicated. Hands go tingly, then it goes up my arms leading to hyperventilation, vertigo, pounding heart. Only relief i got was from walking or sleeping til I tried CBD. Now soon as i feel the tingle which is the early sign, I hit the vape and take some 300mg oil and 10 minutes later its gone. THANK YOU CBD
So you take a full 300mg or just a dropper full just starting out??
what brand?
Please name the brand

Hope it helps some of you but buy a small bottle to begin with.
Was consuming kratom about kilo a month for a couple of years. After starting taking cbd oil, i had started to feel less urge to take kratom. In two weeks my dose had decreased to 1 gram a day. And after another week i no longer consume kratom, did not even feel any withdrawals. However when tried to quit kratom without using cbd, started to feel withdrawals crippling in in about 8 hours after last dose taken. CBD is truly a miracle
I’m glad it has worked for you
Wow! I'm on kratom 1 year, I will try what you did
What form CBD? Also dose pls
Thank you again Douglas. I have been taking CBD oil in the evening instead of my usual 1/4 Xanax pill and have found it to be effective in helping me sleep. I am now curious about using a CBD salve for diminishing inflammation.
CBD is a lifesaver, it saved mine.
To me the biggest problem with CBD is its price versus value. Like lots of supplements, I tried it, didn't notice an effect so wondered what percentage of users are actually experiencing a placebo effect. Definitely more studies should be done to give the consumer assurance that it's really effective for most users so worth the fairly high cost.
zenistic grow it
It depends where you buy it from. Here in England it's an website called CBD Brothers. Best quality 🤩🤩🤩
Its expensive yes. However if in chronic pain you end up taking alot of otc meds and some take prescription meds. Long term use of such meds will cause issues for anyone. Until recently I never took it. Always in pain always .....was getting worse and basically overdosing on aleve which merely dulled it after plenty of pills. My son brought me some cbd oil and I tastes horrible. Yet it does a better job than aleve and no fears on organs being destroyed. So trying to afford it in this lousy economy but looking at protecting my organs long term.
I have adhd, anxiety, autism and excema.
Cbd totally helps. Not a cure, but helps.
Such a good informative video. I've been thinking of trying the oil of some time for anxiety and sleep issues and will probably give it a go now. Love the idea that it may help with those night time scary worries. Love your videos, they are to the point and really help too :-)
Great overview and discussion douglas!! thank you!!
The oil is ok for me. But ill tell you at least how my chemistry is is that I have depression and anxiety also ptsd and a brownie is definitely the best next to just smoking a good hybrid flower.
I'm going to try and buy some CBD joints grown in Portland Oregon and try to get it shipped to my home in Great Britain. Wish me luck
i have been on benzo's since 1973. if taken as directed they can be very effective over the long run. i never exceed the prescribed dose. the idea most people miss is what they actually do. they are supposed raise your anxiety threshold. too many people use it in increasing doses to cancel out anxiety. better to learn coping mechanisms from cognitive behavioral therapy.
I’ve been on a benzo for only 3 years. And in that timeframe, the medication (Onfi) has reduced my testosterone levels to almost zero. I am being weaned off the medication per my request. I’m using CBD and Delta8 THC tinctures as a preventative measure so I do not have a seizure due to my brain freaking out because an addictive substance is no longer present. So far it seems to be working. If it works well enough, I will continue to take them. Maybe even reduce a few other seizure meds I take that I do not like the side effects.
i may try this befor i jump on tho the hard stuff. my anxiety and depression is pretty bad. making my ocd come back. i need to chill but i dont wanna get high cus i dont like the feeling of being stoned. i use to be a drinker but dont drink anymore. this sounds like something that can help me
Been taking CBD by vaping it daily. Chronic back pain, joint pain and for anxiety. It helps me a lot ! I no longer take my Morphine break through pain pills. Now I just take my regular daily dose and use CBD for break through pain. My anxiety has lessened quit a bit so I'm able to get by with less Xanax daily as well. I even purchased CBD gummy bears for my Parents. Both with sleeping issues and joint pain. Grest stuff

I mean can i have anxiety from the inside of my body without knowing ??? And that's can be the cause of the sudden acid reflux ?? I'm confused I'm not anxious,, and all the time I think positively and very happy with my life right now ,but I'm afraid that maybe I have silent anxiety I really don't know I hope someone have any information about silent anxiety
The high-grade oil costs a lot to use. Of course it's not covered by health insurance. Too expensive for many..
It's definitely expensive but maybe people who need it most can ask themselves "what can I 'sacrifice'" to get in a better frame of mind, it might be worth it!!
I use a patch that is $3.23/patch.
Cbd has been a life saver for me. It always brings me a sense of calm whenever I take my drops. If anyone is interested in purchasing a quality cbd oil that’s organically grown in NC let me know!
Hey my brother has anxiety (has trouble leaving the house, joint pain, sometimes even doing basic tasks.) Do you think this will help him? He’s on medication right now which seems to help but can have side effects. CBD seems like a better solution...

What is your email? Lets continue our conversation via email 🙂
Interesting thanks again Douglas
I’ve been experiencing chronic pain for years but recently following near fatal car accident I’ve developed anxiety and insomnia superimposed upon constant pain now that before was only needing meds to sleep d/t pain waking me every time I moved in my sleep.
Even with about 5 Rxs I take I am still struggling with insomnia. For the record prior to my accident I was sleeping throughout the night and never had a history of anxiety or PTSD. This is what motivated me to experiment with CBD oil. I take an infusion in MCT coconut oil roughly 50mg with less than 6.33% THC.
I’ve tried CBD oil that has more or less THC, neither was good for me, struggling to get a consistent dose for effect which was sleeplessness associated with pain and both depression/anxiety. I got the most relief from CBD OIL that is liquid at room temperature thus “infusion “.
I buy ampules that have 100mg CBD and 6.33mg per ampule is the complement of THC. I don’t feel high when I take it but it’s better than any prescriptive so far that my pain specialist and my PMD have Rx’d for me to treat sleeplessness associated with anxiety and PTSD. It costs $6.33 per dose which for me is 50mg CBD/3.17mg THC. It’s too bad the cost even with my medical discount is so much that I can’t use it as often as I would. Turns out it’s costly to grow a CBD heavy strain and then extract it into a medium chain triglyceride (MCT).
Good luck.
Making your own Cannabis tincture is cheapest and easiest. Grow your own. $15 of 151 rum or Everclear and you'll have a years worth of medicine.
I buy hemp and make my own extract. 10 times cheaper 10 times stronger
I'm currently on week 5 off sertraline after about a year? Mind you, I was only on 25mg because I couldn't handle more. I did taper over about a month. The first couple weeks were amazing. I slept like I used to, I felt myself... I felt clear headed and not overly emotional. Now I can feel myself starting to tank again. Occasional brain zaps, nightmares, emotional, negative thinking, rage, blurry vision, dizziness. I really don't wanna be on it anymore, I was on such a small dose but the side effects were too much and now I dunno if it's worth getting back on at such a small dose.
If it helped you before it could help you now. You should definitely talk to your doctor about your idea of going back on
A few months ago I started taking 2-3 drops of CBD oil twice a day. I’m now married, run my own company and speak three languages fluently. Believe the hype!
Wetherby Graeme unless you also won the lottery, I don’t believe you or the hype.
What brand do you use?
Douglas Bloch - you provide some interesting info here on CBD and very use full info for many situations. However, I would caution anyone taking the advice (or following the practice of) reaching for a "thing" to get you back to sleep after waking
at 4 am (comment at 7:47 ). It is MUCH more healthy (holistically) to self manage - to self sooth in these situations.
If your current self soothing takes too long to do this, then find something better that works for you. The act of reaching for something external to sooth you DOES create a habit, and like a baby who is soothed back to sleep by its parents will become dependent on that action. IMHO this is not a healthy practice. Meditation, CBT - self talk, re-framing, NLP etc. or such is a more healthy approach than reaching for a "thing" to do it for you.
I think you have a point. What I do know is I can’t backwards from 100 to 1 while imagining sheep jumping over a river that passes through my favorite beach. It is a Hypnotic meditation.
I tryed CBD for the 1st time a week ago I didn't have anxiety for like 5 days I ran out of cbd oil and I had a anxiety yesterday so today I got paid and got me some more I cant say for sure yet but I'm all most positive the cbd helped so I'm back on it
What kind
What brand how much and where did you purchase it from please Iam looking for something to help me with anxiety
This stuff works! Relaxes the whole body, great for pain and anxiety! I take 600mg 2x aday(oil drops under tongue! No side effects, no withdrawal like opioids, nothing!! It’s just really expensive and hard to find! Hemp bomb CBD oil was the brand I took! Watermelon flavour tasted great too!!
Wow I bought the exact same one today but believe it or not I’m scared to take it cause I’m fearful of side effects
well, I've tried variants of CBD, IT doesn't seem to help as much as when I just smoke cannabis, which is kinda hard to do AND stay less stressed when in an illegal state...which if it was legal here I wouldn't be AS stressed and would actually have a job, which would take away the stresses in those departments... But I assume the CBD coupled with the THC and other cannabinoids and terpenes do the tricks...but...I also know for many cases, probably mine included, again I wouldn't need to smoke as much, or feel the need to smoke as much to keep calm if I just had a GOOD at least better preoccupation of my time...which yes I could go into practices involving growing things like food etc, which I would like to do if I didn't like in between hills and under tree cover...my luck...and indoors is viable here which well..no need to say anymore lol....but nonetheless, many avenues cause stress, because it is the necessity for money that makes your life either hectic to scramble for some, or fine...I personally, many others as well, are just in pockets of inability to maintain jobs the way they've been laid out before us...I'm a hard worker, but not at the constant pace of someone else..and my skills aren't exactly embraced here...(farming, yes, personal growers only if you got the land, the time, and the money and viable situation...I don't have much of either, and time I don't like to rely on..)
I'm dealing with neuropathy pain in my feet that's a big factor contributing to my depression and anxiety which I had before the pain 3 years ago. I got cbd oil 500 and afraid of my body or brain getting addicted as medication isn't working well.
I'm not sure if you can get addicted to CBD oil. You should read the literature and also talk to a Doctor that specializes in chronic pain.
