Hi I’m interested in hearing from people on the spectrum specifically, who’ve found cbd oil helpful.
I’m only 12 days in and started with a low dose and am hoping the drowsiness alleviates after a couple of weeks. I’m also hoping my anxiety improves after a while. I’ve read some really mixed things on reddit, but it on,y just occurred to me that it would make more sense to ask about it here, as I’m taking it after finding promising info on cbd for asd symptoms. I tried smoking cbd once prior and my body felt relaxed for maybe..the first time ever? XD I’m hoping to get to that point on the prescription oil (cbd 10:thc 10) and also hoping my stomach issues will improve as a byproduct. There were so many cynical and disappointing reddit comments so I’d love to know if you’ve had success with it and how things were for you in the first couple of weeks/finding the right dose.

I've tried cbd oil before, it's okay. I found it relaxing but it's cost prohibited to take every day since it's so expensive. Another thing to keep in mind is that the body quickly habituates to cbd meaning that you will have to take increasingly higher doses to get the same effect.

I would suggest trying some low thc/high cbd edibles. My friends wife uses them to help her cope with her anxiety issues related to her bipolar.

There are also all sorts of herbal remedies that you can pick up at your local health food store. Might be something worth a shot. I find most health food store employees are actually quite knowledgeable, so talking to one of them might help you to narrow down a solution to your problems.

One thing I personally use for stress and insomnia is camomile tea. The good thing about camomile tea is you can get it pretty well anywhere and it's not that expensive. However you may have to try a few different brands to find one that works for you. Strength and quality do very from one brand to another.

Cannabis has been my mood stabiliser of choice for nearly half a century.
When I stopped smoking 15 years ago I switched to 10:15 oil to help me sleep.
After heavy smoking for so long, this proved ineffective and I was bumped to 25:25.
Even this was only partly effective and I eventually returned to smoking.
My new script is for wet vape oil but I haven't had the cash to fill it yet.

Personally I haven't used CBD very much, but that is simply because I was using THC instead. I have used CBD edibles occasionally as I've gotten older to help with chronic backpain. That being said, much of the research I have read and watched very much supports the positive effects that CBD and THC can have for those of us dealing with anxiety and autistic symptoms.

I’ve been using CBD oil on and off for a while, and I’d say it does help with the anxiety part, but it takes some time to get the right dose. When I first started, I definitely noticed some drowsiness, but that faded after a couple of weeks.
If you’re hoping for more relaxation, I’d also suggest trying a thca cart if you’re open to it. It can provide that calm feeling without the psychoactive side effects of higher THC products. It might be worth exploring as an option if you're looking to boost that relaxed feeling.

Many people say it helps with anxiety and stomach issues, but the key is finding the right dose. It may take a few weeks to see results. But for that, you need a quality clinic that knows what it's doing and has experience, like these cannabis clinics.

Yes, although it's only hemp, which is intrinsically very cheap, they're so afraid of the THC content being enough to get a fly high that the regulatory expense inflates the price out of all proportion to its natural value. I need tons of CBD to have any effect on me, so there's no way I could afford it, but it works quite well on me. There was some fairly inexpensive mail-order hemp around at one time, but although the makers said its THC content was legal, people I knew who tried it said they didn't think it would pass an inspection, though they said it was nice. It's a shame it's illegal to grow hemp, that would generate enough CBD to calm a herd of elephants.
