UNANSWERED Is CBD or THC actually a good option for minors with anxiety?
IM NOT TRYING TO BUY DRUGS. I want to start off by stating that I have very severe anxiety and have been on many medications with no success. This idea was not suggested by me but actually my dad and his girlfriend as an alternative to SNRI's and SSRI's and other meds. I also want to state that I am very against drugs and absolutely fear them (especially heroin because I'm deathly afraid of needles.) The only drug I dont care if people take is weed but I myself never want to use it because it goes against my err goal(?) or something to never do drugs nor drink alcohol. Sorry if I sound like a loser, I just really do not want to ever do drugs hence why I'm on here asking first.
Is this really a viable option for anxiety or just BS? I hate anxiety so much and have tried lots of things like meds, therapy, coping mechanisms, etc all without success so this is really a last resort. I don't want to get high or be doing drugs. Is this considered doing recreational drugs even if it's for a medical reason? Will I get high (please say no ðŸ˜) this is a legal treatment option for minors in Canada or at least I've been told, but if this is going to get me high or be considered doing recreational drugs I'd rather suffer with anxiety. Sorry if I sound like a goodie two shoes or whatever, I just want absolutely zero to do with drugs or being high.
