This is a case series and literally has no control group. What's the background rate of people getting better without using CBD?

Why I post this: I am trying to sleep but can’t (on my phone to not wake anyone). I was wondering whether CBD might help.

The study is simply a discussion prompt.

My query also found [1]. I wonder who else has some insight into CBD.

Edit: since this comment is quite down the discussion thread I would like to promote another topic [2]. It is about creating wearables that are able to measure stress. Measuring stress [2] and controlling stress (this topic) are underlooked things, in my opinion.

Iron and magnesium supplementation worked miracles for me.

I was kind of surprised to read that CBD wasn’t studied that much in the firzt place.

Stupid question but I’ve always wondered this - I hear Cannabis is used for anxiety relief but doesn’t smoking marijuana induce anxiety? Everyone I know who has smoked weed agrees with my experience - they’ve encountered some level of anxiety and paranoia. So, how exactly does weed help in reducing anxiety?

Edit: Follow up question -> Is weed used to treat anxiety during the high or when you are normal (and have general anxiety when not smoking pot)?

I haven't tried just CBD for sleep, but a few years back I couldn't fall asleep to save my life. A friend suggested smoking cannabis to help, and when I would I had the best sleep of my life.

Anecdotally, it depends on the person.

Marijuana makes it easy for my over-worrying brain to relax and trust that things will turn out okay. Other people I know find the opposite.

Edit: this is also a study of CBD specifically, not of weed as a whole.
