CBD oil and edibles

Post Reply New Topic

Has anyone tried CBD oil or edibles for autism-related anxiety and meltdowns? If so, has it helped? What is it like?

I tried CBD oil and it did nothing for me. It didn't change my anxiety or my migraines or my sleep patterns. I feel exactly the same.

High CBD low THC (27.7%/2%) cannabis oil chills me out and puts me in a better mood. it is calming like a benzo but kicks in quicker when you use it under the tongue. I havent tried CBD oil made from hemp, only tried CBD oil made from cannabis. Only side effect is inital drowsiness that goes away and dry mouth/dry eyes.

If you live in legal state id reccomend using cannabis oil high in CBD with a little THC in it rather than CBD only hemp oil. Even a 1:1 CBD to THC oil or edible would be good. Edibles last longer but take up to 1.5 hours to kick in and last 8 to 10 hours.

I've never tried CBD oil, but the only thing edibles tend to do for me is settle my stomach. I've always joked that this must mean that I'm just high all the time.

I find that taking CBD either orally or by vaping really helps anxiety a lot . In fact , before going to the dentists whom I've had a traumatic past with , I take three good pulls off the vape pen . When I feel stressed , confused and feeling like a meltdown is coming , I hit the pen . When I fly now , I bring the liquid CBD and with that and noise cancelling headphones , I can get through the airport without feeling like a time bomb waiting to go off .
It's important to get the right dosage that works for you . Most people when they first try CBD buy it from a health store . For some reason I've noticed that they only carry the lowest doses ( 5mg ) available and they don't work . You need to get much higher doses , like 500 mg-750 mg available at most vape / head stores . Mind you , these doses are still small at less than 1 gram .

I haven't (I can't be anywhere near it), but all I can say is be careful with it. It's like any other medication, it affects different people differently and can have side effects. It is also barely researched and not the most controlled for quality. If you are going to take it, start on a low dose to make sure you aren't having any major negative affects.

I've had friends who've tried it. They've shared some pretty interesting experiences. For some, it's been a game-changer, offering a sense of calmness and relaxation during moments of stress or meltdowns. It's like a gentle wave washing over them, easing tensions and helping them cope better with everyday challenges.

Yes I've tried it. It mellows me out and damps down my sensory issues, but only at prohibitively expensive high doses. It's a great shame because it's not inherently costly to produce. I guess the high price per gram is down to the nanny state and profiteering.

I have a couple questions. Could doing these cost someone to lose their job if their employer or potential employer performs standard drug testing Also could being on an antipsychotic counteract some of their effects

It's possible that CBD and antipsychotic drugs may interact, as they tend to affect the same metabolic pathways, so it would be good to ask the doctor who prescribed the antipsychotic.

It's probably unlikely that a standard drug test would pick up CBD and lead to dismissal, but some sources of CBD have been known to contain more THC than they're supposed to, and THC would probably be tested for. It might be wise to tell an employer or drug testing administrator about the use of CBD before a drug test, just in case. Logically it shouldn't have to lead to dismissal of course, as CBD isn't psychoactive or associated with crime, but companies can be rather stupid and insensitive.
