I’m really struggling today…I want to smoke a joint so bad that I can’t just about stand it anymore..I feel so depressed, distracted, frustrated, bored, hating the sober life for sure…. I’ve spent over 60 something dollars on SO CALLED CBD, CBG, HHC products just trying to replace the high I got with weed it all sucks and doesn’t even compare to the real stuff, not to mention which I could have bought for cheaper than what I spent on the CBD. And then most of the CBD, CBDp, HHC, delta 8-9 have chemicals in them which to me isn’t natural at all..I know I’m just trying to makes excuses but all I did was smoke weed and drink a couple of beers a day…. Now you can keep the alcohol and all I don’t care to drink anymore that’s for sure….i just need something that would help me with my anxiety and depression…my PTSD.. the CBD stuff is not working for me…at first I thought it did but now I don’t believe so much in it now…. I’m not sure how much longer I will be sober from weed really it was the only thing that helped me get through life so to speak ever since I was 7 years old…. All I can say is HELP….. yet I’m still going to hang on for a bit longer….. hopefully things will change for the better……
I'm sorry you're feeling this way Lewie, and hope it gets better for you soon.
Hi Lewis, you may need to talk to your doctor about medication for anxiety and depression. My deal was liquor and benzos. I take meds that are blood pressure medications for anxiety, depression, and sleep. They are not mind altering or have no lasting effects. For me, proper mental health care helps me stay sober and not self medicate.
Personally I don’t smoke 
but I know people who use it for medical purposes and as long as it’s not a problem we’re your all day everyday then smoke is fine if it keeps you from other addiction. But question if you could live without it? And if the answer is NO about any addiction than pass it up and look for a better way. Good 
luck

I’ve tried their meds and they made me feel really weird.. and the side effects were too much for me as well.. I’d rather do it a more natural way really….CBD has been helping me some..I was diagnosed with PTSD, major depression disorder, major anxiety disorder, cannabis disorder, alcohol and marijuana stimulant.. and a great other things.. I’m 55 and I’m proud that I don’t take any meds for anything so I’m trying to keep it that way you know…but though for the info and advice…by the way I’m doing much better today
I’ve been smoking CBD and it does help me…yeah I’ve been smoking weed since I was 7 years old so it’s like embedded in my bones so to speak..I am doing much better today and I didn’t fall off the wagon either.. thanks
I’m doing much better today thanks Joshua…and I didn’t fall off the wagon either ha ha..I am grateful for sure
So glad my man.
Every second of every minute of every hour that you just say no you become a stronger better version of yourself!
As for the meds I don’t you don’t want to and they make you feel weird but doctors are not the best for prescribing medication like that as they don’t specialize in that and just throw whatever at you. I also have depression, anxiety and PTSD and my doc put me on meds and hated it. Finally went to a therapist who suggested I see a psychiatrist. I did that and found out the medication I was on was completely wrong for me, was addictive and was making me worse.. she worked with me for three months to get me on the correct medication but once I was on it, it made a world of difference. I’ll go every two weeks and would get either a different medication or she would slowly up the mg until we found the perfect mg that worked for me. once I was on the correct medication and mg and was seeing my therapist I was finally able to stop drinking for good. Something to think about… 1-2 pills a day are better then having days like you did.. at least for me it was and a lot cheaper then all the CBD.
Do you have a regular meditation practice?
Thanks for your input Mandy. And yes CBD is expensive it’s actually more than what I spent on marijuana…they had me on Lexapro, and yes maybe I didn’t take it long enough but I still didn’t like the side effects. Blurry eye sight, Ed, lack of sexual desire, headaches, anxiety, and so on. Everything with me at this time is working quite well and my girl is very happy with me, if you know what mean, I don’t want to lose all of that because of the trauma I went through in my past…No I don’t want to fall off the wagon so speak and I’m doing pretty good in holding too…I just don’t believe that a drug should replace another drug…I mean what did they do in the early days when none of these meds were around..I believe they used natural herbs and stuff from the earth you know, and that’s what I would love to do myself for my symptoms . If you don’t mind me asking what meds did finally work for you?
fluoxetine…Prozac. Use basically for depression, but according to my psychiatrist, if your put on the perfect dosage, it helps anxiety.. so she started me off with 10 mg and then raise that every 2 weeks by 10.  Just ask me basic questions like did I feel any different, I have any issues that week etc. and depending on my answer she would raise it another 10.. we finally found my perfect number at 60. I’ve been feeling great since. Can lower or raise it anytime I need to. Now that’s just me. I can’t remember the names but I tried two other anti-depressants and anxiety meds separately prior. They did nothing to me… well, one giving really bad migraines. So that’s why it’s good to see somebody who actually specializes in the illnesses that we have. 
Dr had me on lorazepam which yes can be used for anxiety but it’s basically a sedative that should only be used short term. I was taking three pills a day for almost a year and was drinking on it. Plus, it did nothing for my depression/PTSD.
Yes I meditate every morning for like 30 minutes.. and I just started journaling as well
Thank you Mandy I really appreciate the info
Yes I can live without it I just smoke in the evenings and weekends ands yes I to use it as a medication..I just got my marijuana card here in the State of Georgia so I’m good legal and feeling pretty good as well thanks
