i am interested in comments re CBD for depression or anxiety also. i live in a state where it's legal so i did buy some cookies with that ingredient. it did relax me but i can't evaluate it other than that. i haven't read the research which i'm sure is out there.

Since you live in a state where CBD is legal, I recommend that you contact your physician or psychologist about using it for depression. I know that marijuana can be bought as an edible, but I'm not aware of CBD edibles. I know that marijuana edibles are extremely potent and should be used with caution about getting too much. As I remember, you've had longer term depression, so I think you need to ask your doctor about using CBD or marijuana for it. It may not be helpful for you.

I have used CBD for the anxiety that comes from withdrawing from opioids, and it was helpful. I've not used it for generalized social anxiety and I'm not sure how effective it would be for that. A few comments up I posted 3 links to information about both CBD and marijuana. In addition, you may want to watch the CNN Special on WEED, with Dr, Sanjay Gupta. There are 4 of these documentaries, but I think the 4th and most recent one gives the best information.

It's good to have you back in the community Georgette.
