Here in Colorado we can get all sorts of cannabidiol products, including strains of weed that only have cannabidiol in them, carbonated beverages with cannabidiol, cannabidiol patches, etc. Cannabidiol works well as an anxiolytic and since it agonizes 5ht1a receptors it also has antidepressant qualities. Cannabidiol increases alertness so it has the unique quality of reducing anxiety but making you 'up'. As for its supposed antipsychotic benefit, I can't confirm it as I have not used it for that purpose.

I would like to see how it is different than the whole plant. See if it would cure my desigher to smoke weed when I drink some times, usually when I have not taken my whole dose of olanzapine. Basicaly I want to see what it does for my mind. Would it have some theraputic effect. Looked like it was legal now, so I wanted to try it. I'm not so sure about it now. Maybe this was all a bad idea.
I can't find any info online wheather its legal or not. Not sure what to do. The vitamin shop opens now. Should I call and cancel.
I'm even starting to wonder if I do get it, it might be fake. Read some fda stuff that said some of them are containing no CBD.

I think the cost is prohibitive though.
You need several hundred mgs if you want to replace APs...

This stuff works pretty good! Does not mix with alcohol well. Has a pleasant calming to it. Nice. Its like being high with out the hi. Last about 3 hours. Then I feel bad again. Taking 1.7mg doses. Think I will order again. Yes it is pricy. $25 for 100mg. Next time I'm going to get the 1000mg for $60, Hope it works as well. Know what else. I think this stuff gets rid of obsesive worrying. Can you drive with this stuff??

I may try it. Could it really help me get off APs quicker or replace the APs?
Is it even advisable to go quicker? Right now i reduce one step every 4 to 5 months. If i am stable enough.
Will it get cheaper in the future now that everyone is aware of Cannabis'es medical benefits?
thx

I hope it gets cheeper. I think it will. Not sure if its going to replace any APs for me, probably not.

Hmm...
Do you have experience with, say 6-800 mg?

Not unless I smoked it. Weed got me through some tough times.
So far today I took 5mg. It really does seem to help.

Low dosage could be an option for me.
With what does it help?
Calming?

Yes its calming. Has some sedation. Suposedly CBD is used for psychosis. I'm using it in place of weed. Seems to help that some.

How would you compare the calming effect if 10 is 1mg Lorazepam and 1 is barely noticeable

I think this stuff is good for my anti social tendencies. Social anxiety. I can't use a lot. It makes me a little stupid. I've never taken lorazapam. Its not that sedating. Doesn't put me to sleep. I tried it to see what it would do. I don't know if I would call it recreational. Its just pleasant. I took it a bunch over the last 2 days, went to work today and had my best night in a long while. I don't take it during the day. Just in the evening with drinks and it helps the need for pot. I can drive on it no problems. It does not get me fucked up. Just puts me in a better state of mind. Pot would make me incapasitated depending on the level of THC. I function just fine on the CBD.
Anyways I ordered more. I think it helps.

I wonder can CBD oil be used when you're on an antidepressant? I'd assume that there are no studies on this at all which makes it a bit risky.
Even if CBD helped with anxiety a bit then it would still suck if you couldn't take any prescription psychopharmaceuticals at the same time cause of interactions.

I'm not having any bad reactions from it and ADs and APs.
Things are going pretty good!

I take it back. I don't think this stuff is making me stupid. Maybe I'm just adjusting to it. I still don't take it at work, out of fear it might impare me. Probable won't.

Do you vape this stuff? Can you name the product you're using? I'm in Europe so I don't know if we even have this stuff.
And what exactly does it do for you? Does it work like THC?
And does your doc know that you use this?

I spray it under my toung. I'm using CannaVest - PlusCBD oil, Extra strength, 3mg per spray. Yes I told my doc before I started it. She did not know much about the stuff, but asked a lot of questions, so I guess she will monitor me. It makes me complete. I smoked a lot of pot since I was a teenager. It made me feel good. But I was only able to take a pot with low THC and a higher CBD. So this stuff is just right. Cures my craving for pot. That has been my problem since I started smoking it, I could not go with out it.
I did a trial with no AAPs or ADs for one day, and lots of CBD oil. Didn't go that well, but I made it better than if I didn't have anything. So it does something. I really helps sleep. It has some sort of buzz, not like the THC but more of a feel good body stone. I still function just fine on it. It does not make me out of it, like THC does. People say I look stoned on it, eyes are red. Does stimulate appatite. You have amazingly clear thinking. The effects last about 2-3 hours.
Right now I'm using it in the evening, 2 times. Calms me down, puts me at peace. It still has an effect the next day on feeling of wellbeing, with out the buzz. Makes me easyer to talk with people, more normal. Less antisocial, more there, can relate better. Makes me more whole.

And.. It does not make me a zombie, like zyprexa. But seems to reduce some of that when I take both.
