[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have complex/developmental PTSD, and I take edibles pretty much every evening.  (Actually, I have recently started using a tincture and really enjoying this method.). It helps me turn down the volume, for lack of a better term, on my anxiety/anxious thoughts and allows me to relax.  This is in addition to a regular exercise routine and meditation/prayer practice.

Alcohol creates a similar effect initially but leads to depression, over-emotionality for me.  Another plus of cannabis is no hangover. Fun fact: the human body is equipped with an endocannabanoid system, suggesting that humans have had a relationship with cannabis for quite a long time.[/quote]

I’m so glad that you have something that works for you, would you mind explaining the tinctures a little bit? 
Weed also really helps me settle down but I have kids and can’t have the smell so I use a vape which has its own drawbacks, a tincture sounds interesting. [/quote]

Thanks!  I also have two small kids, totally understand the need to decompress.

I actually just got the tincture a few weeks ago - apparently this was the preferred method of ingestion in the US before it was made illegal (that was in the marketing materials - who knows if it’s true).  It’s just concentrated THC in a little dropper.  The one I purchased shows milligrams on the dropper itself for dosing.  If I take 25mg it takes the edge off - if I take 100 mg I can’t function.

I like the tincture more than the edibles because there’s an earlier onset than edibles (between 15 minutes and an hour as opposed to 1-2 hours with an edible) and also the high isn’t as “intense.” If you’re in a state that’s legal I’m sure dispensary staff can educate you further. :)[/quote]
