Positive experiences
“I take it for sleeping and anxiety and it works so well, even after five years. I haven't build up any tolerance.”
“For me the cbd was a game changer and made me go from an insomniac to sleeping like a baby in a month.”
“Have you tried CBD? I find that it helps me fall asleep, although does not help with staying asleep.”
“CBD, which I started taking before bedtime in the past several weeks, has been helping me get restful sleep.”
“When I take it, I get this amazing and very introspective calm over me.”
“Cannabidiol has nearly completely resolved my anxiety. It's truly been a game changer, I can hardly remember the person I was before I started using it regularly.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“CBD can really take the edge of my anxiety. It’s pretty amazing actually.”
“It works great and really opens up my lower back muscles when I lay in bed.”
“CBD helps some people, but its effect is so subtle it can't be pinpointed as having any effect at all... my wife likes CBD when her back is really giving her problems.”
“There are some others that I tried such as taurine, ashwaghanda and CBD but I didn’t notice much difference with them.”
“Me and my wife have tried them all and definitely have noticed the anxiolytic and anti-depressant effects.”
“CBD made me feel fuzzy headed, slowed thoughts/reaction time, more prone to anger/frustration/short temper, and increased anxiety for me. It did kill pain pretty well I have to say.”
