I was going back to the OP and, despite the thread title, he was talking about actually getting high, not just CBD oil, and using it for sleep. So I was talking about oil with some THC in it.

I can say things have been getting better and that it may take 6 months to a year or so for things to completely heal up. I’m giving it my all to stay sober and strong. I stay working out almost every day. Just want to feel completely normal again. Did you experience any of this?
Thank you and everyone else who have replied. You all help me stay strong.

It affected my eyes for weeks the first time I quit. It was kinda like vertigo and I never felt like my eyes could focus. I also saw an eye Dr and my vision was perfect. It took me a while to put the pieces together.
I have a medical weed card in Florida and I use a high CBD, low THC on a regular basis. Zero psychoactive effects and it does help with anxiety. It's not an instant miracle cure like xanax and the like, but it helps. Many nights I also use an indica to get to sleep, which can be hugely helpful. But I don't have any problems with that...just booze. Depends on your own situation.

Hi again folks - just reminding everyone to be mindful of the fact we're a recovery community and not all of us here have had a trouble free experience with marijuana.
I'm not singling anyone out and I don't want to get in between anyone and their doctor but by the same token I don't want this thread to trigger anyone here either.
Like I said before
I'm trying really hard to keep this thread open - I'd appreciate you guys help

1, thank you Dee. I have shared on other threads my thoughts on CBD and how I've learned a lot, for example, from my husband who runs a public school system w 95K kids, and how often you don't know if there is THC in the CBD. And, what others said about not promoting use of anything else. Alcohol is legal and well, we all know where that takes us.

Yes. I went thru intense PAWS as I first learned about it and identified w pretty much all the extreme symptoms of it, and I am one who did indeed see things identified in that syndrome for the first couple of years.
BUT, I had to put that into one category and like others have said, do the active to make me healthy on top of sober, and keep it movin' so to speak.
What's going on with you here at a week+ after you started the thread?
