Is High CBD medicinal marijuana helpful?

[LivingRoomFanatic]

I’m seeing a lot of conflicting info. I feel I’d like to go down the medicinal marijuana route if the high CBD helps (I’m not currently a user or smoker).

I received this email today:

Good Day Mark,

I did not know where in the forum to post this so I am emailing you, feel free to copy it into a thread that it suits.

I see you have stated many times that marijuana can irritate or provoke symptoms.

When it comes to marijuana there are two kinds of people: Those who react to it with anxiety and over thinking/paranoia, and those who it calms, relaxes, and nullifies their mind. It’s an even 50/50 split on this for sure. For me I am the latter, marijuana calms me, and it actually abates my symptoms a little. I think the men who’s UCPPS flares up from marijuana are the men who get anxiety and paranoia from it. I don’t think it’s the marijuana alone that causes the uptick in symptoms, I think it’s the specific user and how the marijuana effects them.

Just something I wanted to share.

Marijuana is not quite the same as CBD oil, but it's an interesting comment in any case.

As far as I’m aware it’s the THC compound that has the psychoactive effect. The CBD I’m after has less than 1% THC.

THC seems to be the ‘head’ high whereas the CBD is the ‘body’ high. I’ll give some a try as it’s legal where I live.
