cannabis as an Alternative medicine

[Cecily]

THC exacerbates conditions like anxiety, so no matter how much you want it medical it's not for some people (me). CBD fills the role of psych (and pain!) med replacement and thank god it exists. The pharmaceutical options are just so terrible.

How do you know it's the THC that increases anxiety and not one of the any other 400+ chemicals that are in cannabis. More research needs to be done.

People snuffed tobacco for years under the idea that it relaxed a person. Then we discovered it was causing nose cancer, mouth cancer, throat cancer, etc. (im not saying weed causes cancer)

Just be careful GMO is real and you shouldn't play blind chemist with your body. The negative effects could kick in years down the line.
a lot of CBD that's sold comes from cross breeding hemp (males and hermaphrodites) to further push down the thc content.

While some companies label their products non-gmo you don't know the heritage of where it came from. Very similar to spice for anyone who's familiar.

Because THC is (usually) the most abundant cannabinoid by far and it's safe to say that it's causing the effect if you're smoking pot and getting paranoid because that's one of the effects of THC and CBD directly opposes those effects. They're both good medicines, just for different things. THC is for much more serious things, generally.

Chemicals can affect everyone differently. So what you know about you I can't knock. I just know what's worked for me and people i've been around in the long past.

i knew one girl who even when she smoked a little bit she'd be borderline anxiety attack. But that never happened to me so I never got it till I expanded my mind on the subject of chemicals.

I concede.

Most people have a great time. I'm like that girl you mention. I'm introverted as hell to begin with and pot basically traps me in my head and fuels my social anxiety. I only (used to) smoke socially and it's pure hell for me. I imagine I'd actually enjoy it, as a recreational drug, by myself a lot. Have had good results with microdose edibles though.

I've never sought it out, but have smoked it socially when it was offered. I have chronic pain and smoking turns it into something else. A sensation I can't explain, but it's not unpleasant. It would be an easy way for many people to inexpensively control chronic symptoms for diseases that are not curable.

Any chronic (hue hue) pain relief alternative to opiates is a godsend imo and pure pants on head retarded to criminalize it.

I'll make a video and upload if I ever smoke.
