Hello, I'm here looking for help on choosing amounts and kinds of cannabis for my situation.
In a nutshell I have chronic stress, complex PTSD from childhood (things like being queer, controlling mother, emotional neglect), and being in certain public settings is very triggering. I'd like to take the social fear away so I can function better.
I don't know anyone else who uses it and knows anything, and I've never had a chance to use it recreationally so I don't know where to turn for advice. (I hardly know anyone.)
I got a PTSD official diagnosis and tried edibles so far. I tried 8 times and kept a log of the effects and doses. It's very mixed, but in general it has consistently given me these negatives: some dizziness and lack of focus, hunger, and some tension. It has occasionally given me a slight sense of calm and a few waves of happiness. But I lose strength and am too dizzy to drive if I take enough to get any good effects.
I tried these doses of THC and CBD, in mg:
THC:40, CBD:0 - overdose (got bad instructions)
THC:10, CBD:0 - giggly, hungry, tired, lazy, dizzy
THC:5, CBD:0 - not much effect at all
THC:2, CBD:3 - loosened congestion, tired, a few small waves of euphoria
THC:6, CBD:0 - alternating between dizzy/tired and slightly happy; negligible
THC:3, CBD:6 - almost no effect
THC:8, CBD:3 - bouts of dizzy and tension and loss of focus, hungry
Should I give up on edibles, or what? Am I possibly just not a person that it would benefit?
