Wow, just wanted to share this. This is an extract from http://www.chicagonow.com/chicago-medical-marijuana/2013/11/cannabidiol-the-side-of-marijuana-you-dont-know/

 

Here are some things that should prompt us to give CBD a much closer look...

 

CBD reverses alcohol-induced brain damage.

According to a recent University of Kentucky study, cannabidiol can prompt physiological brain changes that could help offset the damage caused by chronic alcoholism. The study found that administration of CBD resulted in a 48.8% reduction in entorhinal cortex neurodegeneration. Stoners have known forever that a few tokes provide incredible hangover relief, but this study takes the therapeutic potential of cannabanoids to a whole new level.

CBD is a very effective treatment option for severe social anxiety.

Many people claim to find relief from anxiety with marijuana while others say the opposite. It appears CBD content may be the deciding variable.

A study aimed at determining CBD's impact on social anxiety in public speaking demonstrated that those pretreated with CBD experienced significantly reduced anxiety, cognitive impairment and discomfort during their speech performance. The placebo group experienced noticeably higher levels of  anxiety and discomfort. The study's authors stress that CBD holds many advantages over standard social anxiety treatments such as anti-depressants due to its quick onset of efficiency and absence of severe withdrawal symptoms or side effects.

CBD "turns off" the cancer gene found in metastasis. 

Scientists at California Pacific Medical Center found that CBD turns off a gene that causes cancer cells to metastasize, or spread. This finding adds credibility to the growing evidence that marijuana is one of the best things a cancer patient can consume, whether for symptom relief or actual prevention. It also makes UCLA's marijuana-doesn't-cause-lung-cancer study that much more interesting; is it possible the cannabanoids themselves offset the carcinogens found in smoke? Could marijuana truly be anti-cancer?

CBD is a potent anti-psychotic medicine.

A clinical trial in Germany found CBD to be as effective in treating schizophrenia as common antipsychotic medication with far fewer side effects. This further clarifies the yin-yang relationship of marijuana, since THC has been shown to trigger psychosis in high doses. CBD is what offsets the negative mental effects of THC alone, and thus, should be the focus of any marijuana user with a history of mental illness.

Last but not least...it's LEGAL! 

That's right! If you're an American reading this right now, you can have a CBD-infused product sent to your home safely and legally. CBD is consumed in a variety of forms including oil, tinctures, edibles, capsules, lotion and even chewing gum. My personal favorite place to shop for CBD isBayshore Botanicals.

Check out this article. It underlines and explains the effects of CBD / THC ratios on the  brain.

I had this and it bugged me for a long time. I had pretty intense CEVs and trippy feelings and weird thoughts before sleeping as if I was on a high dose of LSD....what helped with me is mainly tacking anxiety through trying to calm down by breathing and saying to me that its all right. Positive thoughts, acceptance and no-fear is the key here 

Don't take stimulants when you have HPPD. The reason why even soft drinks make HPPD worse is because they often contain caffeine which triggers worse symptoms. It so bad that I, for example, don't even drink coke although I drink alcohol because stimulants are so bad. 

Trust me people: you can be happy with HPPD!! When I see so many depressed wealthy individuals in my homeland germany that have everything and then go back to Brazil where a majority of people have so little I realize how our view of the world is uniquely determined by our own brains. How shitty my life might get, stay optimistic and positive because 1. about a billion people are starving and you're are not 2. this life is all you got. 

don't relate it to the tree and make it seem superstitious, it is that part of HPPD is that patterns (even leaves maybe) appear to shake / ripple. 

It's funny when I read it I bit my fingers because I could so closely relate to it. For me, I have these weird images or snaps of dreams recurring in my mind sometimes randomly especially when Im tired or fatiguable. I guess it might be DP/DR or the same thing as you....

Awesome dude! I'm going to be studying in the Netherlands and I hope I will be able to seek him up! 

Bedankt man!!!

groete 

I drink and its fine and going out actually helped me beat my anxiety (social and personal). You should keep away from any other drugs, especially uplifters like Caffeine, Amphetamines whatsoever and of course hallucigentics 

1)17

2) Cannabis quite a lot for a period, 3x Ecstasy (Probably not pure MDMA), Alcohol 

3) Ecstasy

4) neurosis (very fearful, OCD, mild depressions, harsh on myself, over perfectionist)

From this post I can see that most people obtained HPPD in their early adulthood (16-20)

In my first weeks I had crazy visuals when I would go to bed and would stay in the dark for 10 minutes...it would normally start of with the typical snow, that then would transform in moving shapes of snow and fractals and eventually on bad nights I would start seeing faces / beautiful sceneries...I remember three days after I got hppd I had this amazing trip which looked like I was flying through the universe...sounds crazy, but I am not. Well, many of them are enjoyable, and once you lose your axiety completely they dissapear too
