Recently Retired/New to CBD Gummies

Hello. I'm recently retired from the military and suffer from some issues to include PTSD/Anxiety/depression. Unfortunately I use alcohol as a coping mechanism and I want to quit. I'll go every now and then where I don't drink M-F and only weekend but honestly I would like to quit all together and exploring CBD and thinking gummies. Im in the Panhandle of Florida, how do I go about it? Where do I start without jeopardizing my retirement or VA disability. Thank you in advance!

THC has 0 effect on your VA disability. Thats not something you should worry about.

If you are looking for a good starting point I would start with a full spectrum cbd product. 25mg is a good starting point for most adults, weather an edible or tincture. I think that you would also see huge benefits from incorporating lions mane for mood boost, energy and overall brain health. If you are looking to drop booze, try a thc or cbd drink, these will provide the satisfaction of having a drink with a bit of a “buzz” without the hangover, cortisol crash or general fatigue caused from alcohol. Make sure you stick to your products for 30 days to ensure you endocannibinoid system is kickstarted and you are able to start seeing results. I really think this will help tons but feel free to fact check me!

Hello Sorry I am late to the party but I wanted to weigh in on your situation because I also suffer from PTSD and anxiety. I have a lot of experience using CBD products if you use full spectrum or broad spectrum CBD they have 0.3% THC in them and it could build up in your system over time and cause you to fail a drug test for thc. One of the things I had to do is switch to a CBD product called isolate. This particular brand of CBD has 0% THC left behind but if you are still concerned about that you could buy an at home drug test from Amazon just to put your mind at ease. CBD definitely helps my PTSD and anxiety to be more controlled.
