CBD/THC advice or perspectives
I'm nearly 40, coming out of some dark years since 2020 when I simultaneously burnt out at work and both of my children were born. I'm finally starting to admit to myself that my brain is different in a way that makes 'normal' things much harder. I've been using cannabis to chill out for years but realized that it's not actually helping, just numbing.
I have gotten in the habit lately of eating 1 CBD gummy (broad spectrum with 50mg CBD & 2.5mg THC) in the afternoon to better handle the whirlwind that is after-school through kid bedtime. It feels innocuous enough, but am worried as I used to consume way too much THC. I want my nights to be 'productive' rather than crashed in front of the TV but also desperately want to connect with my kids, be there for them to help with life & their hardships the way my parents weren't for me. This dosage has helped me kinda walk that line, I think.
The research on this type of usage doesn't seem to exist. Has anyone done this long term with opinions?
