A friend of mine who had been on anti-depressants for some time stopped taking them and had a terrible experience. He realized that the drugs were actually putting him in a fog, to where he couldn’t even think or complete his daily tasks. As an alternative to pharmaceuticals, he turned to Cannabis; He heard about how it was helping people deal with symptoms like his without any side effects.
He decided to try high-CBD strains because he didn’t want any sort of Sativa psychoactive impact during the day when he needed to be focused at work. The first strain I recommended was Harlequin; It is one of my favorites (with CBD percentages usually around 9% THC:13%). His second purchase was Sour Diesel CBD. Personally, I like the high that Sour Diesel gives me; It’s uplifting and motivating, great for getting shit done! However, this strain is usually around 18% THC:0.1%.
The friend said he had a good experience with both strains but the sour diesel CBD stood out as extraordinary because it allowed him to focus on his work without feeling impaired. He felt clear-headed and his antidepressant seemed effective again. After 2 weeks of using cbd hemp flower, he decided to try going off his medication completely. His doctor was amazed at how well he was doing just from smoking weed & eating better.
It seemed to me that CBD was the only thing keeping him level; I’m opposed to pharmaceuticals, so I can’t tell if their drugs are helping or not– All I know is that without weed, he starts spiraling again.
Keep in mind this could be due to legitimate chemical imbalances or just bad luck/coincidence… But either way, marijuana remains the only effective treatment for my friend—and it should be noted that many psychiatrists now agree with me & recommend cannabis as an alternative to pharmaceuticals.
When you shop for sour diesel CBD, it’s going to be a little difficult to find the strain that everyone knows and loves. This is because a lot of dispensaries proudly declare that they have Sour Diesel in stock, but fail to mention that the weed is actually Sour D (Sativa) and has no CBD content whatsoever… And honestly, it’s not like those strains are bad; The flowers may be very potent and quite flavorful but they do tend to give me anxiety & paranoia. I often wonder if it was grown with pesticides or synthetic nutrients as well, especially after hearing about how much crap goes into a commercial-grade pot these days.
