Hiii. I just want a regulated and fully well researched cannabis industry that stops covering up the negative effects while exaggerating the good ones. Too many times I've been told I could cure or fully treat my ADHD and anxiety disorder with cannabis. 😮💨
-
I've been on medical marijuana for over a year. It has done wonders for me with different ratios of cannabinoids. I mostly use CBD with CBG during the daytime to help with focus and anxiety because of my ADHD and Autism. I mostly use THC at night as a sleep aid and to help with migraines.

My father in law has for the 3th time cancer! Fighting at his age is remarkable (93 ) to help him our doctor recommends to use CBD and to our surprise it's helping a lot with pain, sleep and more

Melatonin regulates the biological sleep cycle. It doesn't make you sleepy per se. Is CBN doing the same thing, or does it have a different mechanism that improves sleep quality? Is it more like Benadryl? Edit: melatonin didn't do much for me. My sleeplessness is due to anxiety and ADHD. I envy people who can just fall asleep and wake up well rested after 8 hour sleep. I hope CBN turns out to be a real thing for sleep issues.

I hope everyone that has allergies remember you can be allergic to any kind of weed,i am,& after losing gallbladder no extra coconut oil is gonna help me at all

I used CBD to get clean ❤

Great info, thank you. Is it possible to share citations or advice regarding the effects on liver enzymes, for the purpose of understanding possible drug interactions.
-
CBD has helped reduce seizures in my dog where multiple medications failed. There are multiple studies showing that it works
-
Dr, i have you as "immediate alert" yet not only do i not get these alerts, you haven't showed up in vid or shorts feed for at least 2 months. I just realized it bc there's a dr similar in voice and pace that's becoming popular and it made me think of you. So i had to do a search. I hope searching will fix this "glitch."

Would you make a book on eating, protecting our health, like gut health etc

24:50 "I used to have a dog sitter who actually, without my knowledge until I caught them doing it, was giving CBD oils to my dog to calm them down" wonder how that played out lol
-
Hi if it's possible to pin this (assuming it wasn't discussed) in the UK herbal products have THR (traditional herbal registration) which means they have been regulated and are likely to contain the product they claim to have. This was very useful for me when I took St John's wort

Thank you for this video. I've been considering CBD since I moved to the US earlier this year for pain. I've been on three different drugs for nerve, muscle and joint pain due to my autoimmune condition for the last 5 years (still undiagnosed 😢) and I would like to find an alternative to the cocktail of meds I'm on..

CBD is central business district. Called downtown in common speech in 🇨🇦. 😉 I have no knowledge of any other meaning... Until I watch the video. (Comment made simply to support the channel and amuse.)

yes

This is probably just in my head, but I take a full spectrum CBD/CBN/CBG oil along with a krill oil supplement, & I feel like there's a good synergistic effect. I recommend Lazarus Naturals out of Oregon.

God only knows what diseases researchers could cure if given the freedom. Hopefully rescheduling will ease Dr Chen's job a little bit.
-
Is it possible to learn exactly how much CBD enhances the effects of certain prescription drugs? Could there be a possibility that with this knowledge doctors could prescribe lower doses of a drug and prescribe CBD to go aling with it to enhance positive effects without enhancing the negative side effects? Or in the cases where severe conditions appear to be treatment resistant, could they add CBD to the treatment that already has high dosage of a certain drug?

What about using CBD patches for fibromyalgia?

this is why you just grow your own
