If only I could use medical cannabis as an adjunct therapy. It helps me tremendously, but my license board won't get on the same page as medical science. If I got prescribed, it would still put my license at risk :(

Could hemp derived cbd/delta8 (federally legal in many edible formats) possibly help?

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 0 points 7 months ago

Maybe? A higher thc ratio helps me more and I'm not quite sure if mixing delta 8 and cbd would help me in my daily life. It'd probably be good to help me sleep, but that's not really an issue of mine.

But I'm not sure, I just keep holding out for a time when it's legal and I can try different blends/ratios that would actually help, without fear of trace amounts of thc popping up in a test. It becomes an anxiety issue because it's tied to my career/livelihood, and kinda defeats a key aspect of how it helps. It's all dumbshit in the end

@MrShankles

1to1 thc/cbd is amazing for reducing the angst and pain.

Agreed 100%. That the concerns over federal legality is still an issue with employment. Thanks , in part, to the race war and the pharmaceutical lobby. (My opinion)

I enjoy a little higher thc to cbd ratio (personally) if I'm going to be up and about, but it entirely depends on what's going on with me that day. Sometimes I need something more chill; and having the option is what I would absolutely love.

My current option is: whatever I can find, plus the underlying anxiety I get if I choose to indulge (because of job fear). And we are very much of the same opinion about why it's still federally illegal
