The dopamine/reward processes in your brain are controlled by the inherint endocannabinoid-system. More and more evidence exist that many neurodivergent people (including adhd, autism and even schizophrenia) suffer a lack or imbalance to native endocannabinoids. I firmly believe the right mix (which should be the personalized for each person) can do almost Miracles to our well being, focus and ability to function.

If only I could use medical cannabis as an adjunct therapy. It helps me tremendously, but my license board won't get on the same page as medical science. If I got prescribed, it would still put my license at risk :(

Could hemp derived cbd/delta8 (federally legal in many edible formats) possibly help?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Maybe? A higher thc ratio helps me more and I'm not quite sure if mixing delta 8 and cbd would help me in my daily life. It'd probably be good to help me sleep, but that's not really an issue of mine.

But I'm not sure, I just keep holding out for a time when it's legal and I can try different blends/ratios that would actually help, without fear of trace amounts of thc popping up in a test. It becomes an anxiety issue because it's tied to my career/livelihood, and kinda defeats a key aspect of how it helps. It's all dumbshit in the end

Dumb shit indeed

@MrShankles

1to1 thc/cbd is amazing for reducing the angst and pain.

Agreed 100%. That the concerns over federal legality is still an issue with employment. Thanks , in part, to the race war and the pharmaceutical lobby. (My opinion)

I enjoy a little higher thc to cbd ratio (personally) if I'm going to be up and about, but it entirely depends on what's going on with me that day. Sometimes I need something more chill; and having the option is what I would absolutely love.

My current option is: whatever I can find, plus the underlying anxiety I get if I choose to indulge (because of job fear). And we are very much of the same opinion about why it's still federally illegal

That’s what I keep telling self as a spark up daily

While it is possible to find consistent weed of a certain cannabinoid profile, a real medicine would be a custom personalized mix after having your own endocannabinoid profile measured.

If your buying random strains from a friend i need to disappointed you, while it can alleviate some systems long term its probable not helping all that much and reinforcing a bad habit.

As a general rule, “medical” requires consistency, in both product and dose…. Which is also what the original post here is kinda about. We came full circle.

I mean I have my medical card on top of living in a place that it’s legal. There is plenty of anecdotal information that I hope one day matches the research. Because as much as I believe in the qualities of weed I also understand we don’t have the hard data yet. Is there some positive outcomes from research sure and some bad as well. All come to inconclusive. Unless you have data saying otherwise?

I’ve smoked for years and am mostly fine , my aunt smoked and it triggered her psychosis. Do we know it was the weed, not 100% but we don’t know otherwise as well.

Though the original comment was a flippant comment about me so, It’s still what I tell MYSELF.
