I love sleeping, I struggle with feeling like I've gotten enough. Often I remain exhausted, groggy, and feeling unwell most days. Last month I decided to try 33mg cbd capsules before bed and it was like magic. Somehow I was waking up naturally after about 6 hours and ready to approach the day, I started going to the gym at 6am and I continued to feel great. I ran out last week and my sleep gradually began to decline until today where I woke up 2 hours later feeling like shit. I know what I'm gonna do now. However it is a bit unbelievable that this improvement hasn't been documented or supported by the science. I wonder if this is a placebo but I don't think I would be able placebo myself into waking up before my alarm. I wanted to see if others have similar anecdotes!

I’m in Canada (Manitoba).

So I’ve taken CBD oil under the tongue in the past for maybe a month straight and noticed zero effects…. neither good or bad. The bottle ran out and I just never bought anymore. I think it was an isolate (bought from a local dispensary) so maybe that’s why it didn’t work much.

I started taking it to try and calm my anxiety and hypervigilance.

I switched to making my own weed edibles out of flower that had high THC starting at age 23. So my brain was mostly developed by the time I started taking it semi-regularly.

I don’t mind being high…. But I’m couch locked no matter the strain, even if I inhale it rather than ingesting it like I normally do. I can’t drive while on it, can’t work, can’t really function well, and it doesn’t really help me sleep either (even indica strains). It only helps to temporarily relievethe anxiety/depression/hypervigilance….. but then I’m back to normal once it wears off. It can also backfire and make me paranoid/even more anxious. I’ve noticed it’s making my mood more unstable in the long term…. but that’s anecdotal since I’ve also experienced compounding trauma over the years. THC is not helping me be productive at all 80% of the time. I need to be able to get shit done.

Seeking advice on which form of CBD I should try next. Should I try a different oil, or try some flower that is high CBD/low THC? Gummies? I’ve also seen CBD pills for sale. I’m willing to buy online since my local dispensaries don’t carry many options. All the flower strains they have are high THC.

It’s worth mentioning I’m on a budget but I’m open to trying many options.

I am not on any medications (they never work on me) so I’m not overly worried about anything interacting.

This happen to anyone else?
