Why I felt manipulated by CBD

Everybody nowadays has heard about CBD, it's medical benefits, along with the promise that it wont get high, but what they don't tell you is the other cannabinoids that are present in cannabis, the medical benefits they produce without a high along with how easily they could be accessed.

My medical cannabis journey started three years ago after dealing with a traumatic year of seizures and anxiety to finally having our questions answered by a "drug dealer" with no success from our medical system.

A friend referred to a person who makes THCa tinctures ,CBN tinctures and activated balms.

We assumed all products were CBD as no high was produced but later realised we were mislead.

None of these products had CBD present and they were made from the same cannabis people used for THC.

At first we were stunned as we are THC consumers and we had been consuming THC through my partner's epilepsy and my extreme anxiety without any result.

We had never looked at our cannabis as being anything but THC so this information really hit home because THCa was sitting in our bowl the whole time.

CBD seemed hard to source without paying hundreds plus we couldn't wait on the long legal process.

Our knowledge of CBD was very limited but our access to THCa was very simple and easy so we choose to follow this path even though it's not the legal way.

Currently THC and CBD is the only legal cannabinoids available to be prescribed through doctors in Australia but keep in mind research of the medical benefits of acidic forms of cannabinoids along with the aged forms have been around since the 60s.

I personally believe they have limited information and access to these cannabinoids to profit from the sales of CBD along with misleading the public with how hard these products are to make when we can easily do it at home ourselves.

I've currently kept my partner three years seizures free with THCa by infusing Cannabis used for THC in coconut oil without fancy equipment, without using flammable chemicals that makes some extraction dangerous along with it being less $20 a month.

No one should have to pay hundreds to have their life back for a plant that could be grown in your backyard.

Keep in mind I'm in no way claiming that CBD doesn't have miracle benefits because it does.

I personally have friends that CBD has done wonders for so don't take my experience as a diss.

Thank you for reading.
