I have some current experience with my adult daughter suffering with severe anxiety. I started looking for over the counter treatments and found studies that used magnesium glycinate successfully as a treatment and it has worked wonders for her.

#82This was something I thought you obtain through meditation or other calming exercises but cbd just provides you this feeling within 30 mins.
It’s especially nice after sleep. Because it’s those times when you wake up and your breathing have slowed to the point it relaxes you on each breath you know you had a rejuvenating sleep.

Where have you read that CBD increases the amount of deep sleep? I have looked into this quite extensively, and never found any information that suggested that.
Joe Rogan https://youtu.be/Pjeb9kOSJ2M I think it was this but it could’ve also been some online article.

If anyone else gets anxiety when they smoke, I recommend smoking sativa instead of indica (nicknamed “in da couch” because of its anxiety effects). I was given the tip from a stoner friend, and it’s fsirly true in my experience.

I get anxiety when I smoke and am way too young to attribute it to any sort of “reeder madness” - so it’s definitely a thing. I don’t smoke super often, and don’t always get anxiety when I do, but it definitely gave me terrible anxiety when I was younger.

This is a good way of putting it. I view THC as having an 'echoing' effect of whatever I am feeling. If something makes me laugh, the feeling of laughing will cause more laughter. If I am feeling anxiety, the feeling of anxiety will cause more anxiety.
That's absolutely true, weed is a big enhancer.
some days you can control your inner voice better than others
Also thc tolerance helps, once you get the tolerance up it is a lot less anxiety inducing and more relaxing.

FWIW, I have the opposite reaction to different strains. Sativa gives me anxiety, while indica makes me want to relax and take a nap. Really hope researchers can start testing effects so we can figure out where this can help anxiety. So many people I know struggle with it; I'd love for them to have a way to treat it.

IANAD. The glycerinate does have a better absorption rate but and taking over 300mg a day regularly apparently has the potential for side effects (beside those bowel effects) - at least that's what I've gathered looking into Mg supplements previously.
Right now she's in shit shape mentally after being ditched by her fiancé so hopefully time will help her get over that, but truly amazing how well and quickly the magnesium glycinate helps calm her down.
Physically she's as strong as can be. She's a level II Crossfit trainer and stronger than me. We're going try transitioning towards getting the magnesium from food sources if we can get her over this hump. She eats healthy, but she's obviously not getting enough magnesium and burning it up quickly right now.

What brand and kind of CBD do you use ?
Re: Cannabidiol in Anxiety and Sleep: A Large Case Series
#90Stupid 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 gene…
To summarize a bit unnuanced: THC induces paranoia CBD reduces it The ratio is an important one between them as it alters the experience a lot. Weed is a bit like love, the term is convoluted and overloaded. E.g. Dutch weed: HIGH in THC! Normal in CBD. Oh dear, the Dutchies... Sigh Swiss weed: high in CBD, extremely low in THC The experience? Completely different. Sources (cannot Google search atm, am on mobile): - I…
