Marijuana Compound Could Replace Need For Antipsychotics

Anybody else know about this? have experience with cbd?

a componunt in marijuana known as cbd is proven to be able to work as an anti-psychotic.

strains high in CBD and low thc, such as Charllottes Web have healing properties that can allieviate pain, anxiety, and treat psycosis, and epilepsy, and there are NO unwanted side-effects.

why isnt this legal and available to us patients?
well for one, it cant get patended because its a plant. and another, big pharma popular anti-psychotics would be out of business.

I want to get off Saphris(AP) as I am fearful of long-term effects and hate all the current side effects I get. Which, could be worse..

Im hopeful that this will one day be legal and be considered a serious form of medicine, but am fearful convential medicine will never go this route.
not to mention how much cheaper it would be.

i feel like cbd could improve my quality of life.
but I will never know because its not legal in my state.

Maybe in 5 years .. who knows

It's legal in all 50 states you can order it right now online. Real scientific hemp oil is high quality stuff. But it is very expensive for the doses suggested in studies I've read and I think you would be disappointed with it.

I do think marijuana should be schedule 2 and more serious research was done but like you said there not a lot of profit compared to saphris.

A lot of preparations are %20 cbd and you need to consume like a gram of it multiple times a day(don't remember the exact dosage). If it was medical grade it would be %100 cbd and put in nice little tablets.

No good for me. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. CBD is only one compound there. THC is always present and it's psychoactive and absolutely worsening for serious mental health problems.

Yes, Captanic, I know its legal, but it's from hemp. I've read that it's not the same as a good strain. And a good strain would be cheaper.

Anyway it is way to expensive 10mg capsules 30 $100.

and the vape oil is $25 , but i dont think it has much effect, and there's other chemicals in it that I'm weary about

And Slowbrains, high CBD strain anti-psychotic properties outweigh low doses of thc, from what I've heard.

This is illegal but if you have the will you could order high cbd seeds and grow your own and turn the buds into oil. You can learn how to do every step online and with practice and persistence you can do it.

But cbd is cbD weather it came from buds or hemp stalks. That oil from rsho is very good at $400 per 10 grams it's just expensive.
