I’ve suffered with anxiety since I was a kid, and things like CBT don’t seem to work for me at all. I know pills from the doctor are available, but I only want to go down that route as a last resort.

So does anyone have any experience with CBD products for treating anxiety? The reviews online seem mixed on whether they actually work.

    I’ve never had CBD by itself but back in university once tried some medical grade weed which had been grown to minimize THC content and maximize CBD content. It was amazing - as someone prone to anxiety when I smoke - I found it to almost be like a different drug. Extremely relaxing with no racing thoughts. My flatmate and I even tried it on the tail end of mushrooms and instead of bringing the peak back like would usually happen it completely stopped the trip. Similar to having a large glass of wine or a valium.
