What's it like being trans in Australia then?

hrt and name changes here are pretty easy here. havent had too much trouble with doctors and the like but get the odd question or two out of ignorance like nurse taking my bloods asking why didnt i just get the surgery if i wanted my gender marker changed then was shocked i had to pay out of pocket for it. i avoid interacting with random people as much possible because anxiety and been locked in my room for like the last 7 years but friends say it hasnt been super awful and ive only been harassed a handful of times since presenting fem.

sydney: not horrible as long as youre in the inner west or cbd. glorified tourist hub with no real trans socialising unless you want to gamble some general queer stuff that are hit or miss on transphobia.

melbourne: much better, wasnt there long but bunch of trans peep hosting things to go to and not feel isolated in. i miss it deeply

rest of the country: idk havent traveled much since transitioning

honestly im not a great person to ask as an unemployed, shut in, disabled, psychward loyalty card holder but it could be worse i guess

[telafel]

I have such a hard time being in fandom spaces 'cause like. I mostly just make my own little nest and try to cultivate it as best i can for myself to have fun in but also Anxiety of like "well is my nest good enough for people to want to hang out here? am I good enough that people would want to talk to me?"

and anxiety spirals of like. feeling fucking obnoxious when I want to talk to people, not feeling good enough to talk to them or be in the same circles as them and then worrying the anxiety is making me toxic and draining to be around and then i get MORE anxious.

anyways social anxiety is the bane of my existence. Nothing i make feels Worthy and I struggle with it and I wish it didn't weight me down so bad and feel like it's ruining me.

the anxiety is always manageable when I'm not in fandom but then I am isolated and rarely socializing anyways so!!! and i've been the most creatively motivated in a long time and it makes me emotional that anyone likes what I make because I was so doomer about it for so long but aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

i'm going to start piling up cbd edibles because christ i can't handle this but i hate any anxiety medication i've taken so.

[lifeafterpsychiatry]

I'm not sure if this is a vent or ask or a bit of both - but some time (it must have been a year or two ago I think) I asked you for advice on something, I think possibly related to CBD. This year after a stint with way too many stimulants, I ended up in severe psychosis, initially hallucinating that there were people in my house who were going to kill me. It resulted in me getting taken off to hospital after I called the police and fire brigade in the same day due to my delusions. Since then I've been 7 months clean but my psychosis has persisted, with paranoid delusions that started off severe, with me thinking my family were drugging, poisoning, or planning to kill me. I eventually started to seek help in the summer, and I've been on two medications since, both of which have helped though both with annoying side effects that have made it a struggle. The more I look back at the years prior to the drug incident, the more I'm starting to realise that paranoid delusions have actually been there for many years. Coupled with complete social isolation, decreased work performance, constant anxiety, anhedonia, etc. It's becoming quite a likely consideration that I may have had undiagnosed schizophrenia all this time. My psychiatrist agrees, although says it's too early to issue a diagnosis in case I'm still recovering from the drugs (but says with my history it's quite likely). I've found your advice on many things very helpful in the past, but I just wanted to say, in my current state, it's comforting seeing your posts on here, seeing comments from someone who has endured something similar, and browsing through some of your comments on psychosis and schizophrenia that I previously thought I couldn't relate to - but now relate to all too well. Thank you for what you do, and I hope you have a lovely week.

I'm really sorry you've been struggling with psychosis. That can be incredibly scary and hard to cope with, and I'm sending all my love. I hope getting properly evaluated and medicated will make a significant difference for you, and I'm happy if my blog can be somewhat helpful in the meantime! ❤️

Is CBD Oil Safe and Worth Your Money?

A medical cannabis expert weeds the hype from the truth about the herbal cure for pain, depression, anxiety and insomnia.

You can’t turn on a daytime TV program or flip open a lifestyle magazine without hearing or reading about CBD, short for cannabidiol. It’s the biggest buzzword in holistic health news, and statistically speaking, it is expected to reach around 1.8 billion dollars in U.S. consumer sales by 2022, a whopping increase from around half a billion dollars in 2018.

What exactly is CBD?

CBD is the non-intoxicating component of the cannabis sativa plant. Cannabis plants can either be classified as hemp or marijuana depending on the quantity or percentage of THC in either plant. This distinction was established by the FDA: Cannabis plants with 0.3 percent or less of THC are considered hemp and those with more that 0.3 percent are consider marijuana.

So in a nutshell, CBD that is derived from hemp will not make you high. You should also ask your primary physician about using CBD while taking medications.

Kisha Vanterpool, medical director of Medicinally Jointed, a medical cannabis spa and alternate health practice located in South Philadelphia, says the biggest misconception her patients have is understanding the difference between CBD and THC.

“Some associate CBD solely with cannabis (marijuana) which carries its own stigma of being used to attain a high,” the board-certified internist explains. “But really, cannabis is an herbal medicine that has many benefits. Through educating my patients around the plant as medicine and how it interacts within our bodies, patients then become more open to its use.”

What is CBD used for?

Studies show consumers are using CBD — sold in oils, lotions, balms, bath salts, coffee, oral sprays and gummies — as a specific therapy for pain, anxiety, depression and sleep disorders. Depending on the product, prices range from $20 to $100.

Nira Hyman turned to CBD three years ago to help manage chronic back pain and joint inflammation she’s endured for about 15 years. The 46-year-old was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, a type of rheumatoid arthritis called ankylosing spondylitis, which affects the spine.

“Chronic pain is quite isolating, so I’m open to trying almost anything. My research led me to THC, then to CBD. It helps mute the pain. It’s still there, but the volume of the pain is dialed down. CBD doesn’t manage my pain on its own, but using that along with other stuff on my regimen can make a difference,” she says.

“Most of what I use is handmade. It’s expensive but worth it. Friends ship balms or soaks to me. And yes, the sellers are Black. I believe strongly that Black women belong in the cannabis industry, so the louder our voices the better.”

The Brooklyn, New York, native also uses CBD to alleviate anxiety. “It may be a placebo effect, but I do feel it helps my anxiety. And I prefer using something that’s natural and naturally medicinal. I’d much rather take CBD — and I do use high doses — than opioids. My doctors agree, off the record,” says Hyman.

Vanterpool recommends CBD to her female patients to help them with anxiety, insomnia, hot flashes, menstrual cramps, endometriosis and other chronic pain. When shopping for CBD products, she suggests consumers research the product “to ensure that it truly contains CBD and has been tested for contaminants such as pesticides, bacteria and fungus/mold.”

Is CBD FDA-regulated?

Not currently. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently published a consumer update on its website (FDA.gov) that addresses the claims that cannabinoid (CBD) is a cure-all, risk-free miracle drug.

Although the FDA is presently gathering data from health professionals, cannabis industry representatives and patients to learn more about the efficacy of CBD, the agency wrote, "there are many unanswered questions about the science, safety and quality of products containing CBD.”

Where can I find CBD products in my area, and is it legal in all fifty states?

Remember the 69-year-old grandmother from North Carolina who was arrested at Disney World for packing CBD oil in her purse?

Federal law says CBD oil products are legal to possess if they contain no more than 0.3 percent THC, and CBD products are readily available online. Do your research to find products that are safe, effective and legal. Consumerreports.org has an informative guide. Be aware, however, that some states like Florida, Ohio and Texas generally don’t differentiate hemp from marijuana. So before you purchase or travel with CBD, check the state laws.

1 Week of THCA with Huntington's Disease

So I've been a stoner for a long time, but primarily was smoking marijuana which is illegal here, luckily with more recent advancements with cannabis and legislature we have options here that are now just as effective. I was curious what would happen if I switched to pure THCA bud because the reason I smoke and have been smoking marijuana on and off since I was 8 was because at the time my dad said it would help with my ADHD (it did as well as my depression although I REALLY don't recommend giving it to an 8 year old lol, my dad was not exactly a "think things through" type of person though).

Over the years the constant fear that I'd get busted and sent to the pen for a completely non-violent "crime" really was hard on my mental health, and even though cannabis provided me with tremendous benefits, it was hard for me to enjoy the benefits with all the fear and anxiety from the possibility of getting locked up like a lot of my friends.

When CBD and Delta 8 got so big, I did experiment with Delta 8 but I felt like even though there was a benefit it wasn't quite "hitting the spot" where I needed to be to stop my tremors which have been getting worse from my neurodegenerative disease, I used it quite a bit at night to put me to sleep (especially edibles), and it did help more than not taking any form of THC but, I definitely needed something else.

I didn't want to take the reeeeeally synthetic forms of THC that they came out with just because I had experiences with K2 with my dad and was weary about anything blatantly synthetic (mainly because I can't know if there's going to be side-effects eventually), so I just stuck with Delta 8 even though it's a concentrate / isolate and you really have to check that the companies test them to make sure the solvents are gone.

I stumbled across THCA bud in the local headshop before it closed down recently, but it was 35$ for 7 grams so I figured I could find a better selection for cheaper online like I do with my kratom. I came across a distributor called JKDistro, and they have 1oz smalls for 50$ sometimes, best investment I ever made. Now I'm smoking in the morning and then some at night to wind down and within 1 week I've seen drastic improvements in basically every aspect of my life.

I'm not joking, it's as good as OG cannabis but now the fact I'm not always fearing the cops makes it so much easier to enjoy it. I like that I can go out on my porch and spark up a joint too since JK sends me a card to carry each time I get some bud from them so if I got stopped cops would know it's legal. Cops don't really care here anymore so much because of progress in legislation but it really helps me feel better.

Some of the biggest benefits I noticed from dosing in the morning and at night:

Sleep Quality

For people with Early Onset Dementia from diseases like mine, our brains can't shut down and typically we have a hard time going to sleep and staying asleep. I got to where I was only getting about 1-3 hours of sleep a night if at all before I started dosing like I am now. The first few days I literally slept (3 days nearly straight) and it was really nice because I know my body desperately needed the rest to heal. Now I'm sleeping 6-8 hours a night and that's literally amazing because I'm waking up feeling way better. A bit groggy sometimes if I smoke a bit too much or take too much cannabutter but, overall much better than I was feeling before.

Anxiety

Crazy enough I have an interview on Wednesday for a job in sales, funny thing is I HATE talking to people, especially on the phone. Once I started the THCA regimen I've gotten so much more talkative, relaxed, and social than I was. I am diagnosed with ASD, and the main way mine significantly limits me is communication and being anxious around strangers. It's amazing that I was able to get an interview and now I'm about to go back into the workforce for the first time in 12 years.

Depression

I have a big issue with getting really depressed (which apparently is very common among Alzheimer's and HD patients). Since I've been on the regimen, I've been a lot happier, more relaxed, less irritable. It's been really nice and I've felt myself smile a lot more. I know I'm a lot more pleasant to be around and I've not been near as emotional as usual.

Anger / Emotional Regulation

Once again, I have a real issue with emotional regulation. I think a lot of that goes back to ASD but then the HD doesn't help at all. I've been a lot more chill and more pleasant to be around. Not as irritable / fussy, and able to interact with people more patiently. I get frustrated usually pretty easily but I've been able to be more chill than usual which is nice. I'm also not "all over the place" as much, my mood swings are a lot better.

Pain / Inflammation / Soreness

I have a lot of issues with inflammation. On every test I get (blood test) it always shows my inflammation levels to be very high due to my body being full of a toxic protein called Huntingtin. This also causes pain in my joints sometimes and because my muscles are slowly deteriorating some they are sore a lot and I have to constantly work them out a lot to not lose muscle. I'm not in near as much pain as I was before I started up the THCA, which is huge because it's been freezing here and usually I can't get out of bed when it's this cold. My muscles aren't near as sore and I'm not near as stiff either.

Overall I feel like the THCA is doing me a lot of good, I'm excited to see where I am in a month or even a year. I have found it very useful for me. If y'all want to check out JKDistro and see if you can find something you like that would help you, you can use my link and get 20% off your purchase. They have great deals, and VERY good quality stuff. I literally swear by them, and I've been smoking for a VERY long time. You can click here and it'll take you with the link for a discount! I hope it helps you like it helped me!

The Entourage Effect: How Terpenes Enhance Your Cannabis Experience

Introduction

In a world where the nuances of cannabis use are becoming increasingly sophisticated, the concept of the entourage effect has emerged as a critical piece in understanding the plant's full potential. Rather than focusing solely on the individual components, this theory suggests a greater benefit derived from the synergetic interaction of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds found in cannabis. Here, we delve into the entourage effect and its implications on how we experience this multifaceted herb.

What is the Entourage Effect in Cannabis?

- Synergistic Interaction: The entourage effect refers to the synergistic collaboration of various cannabis components that result in enhanced therapeutic benefits.

- Cannabinoids: While THC and CBD are the most well-known, there are over a hundred cannabinoids that play a part in the entourage effect, bringing diverse effects and benefits.

- Precedence over Isolation: The theory posits that the combined effects of cannabis constituents are greater than the sum of their parts. This suggests that isolating individual components may not provide the same level of efficacy as utilizing the full spectrum of compounds.

- Complex Interplay: The scientific investigation into this phenomenon is still unfolding, with researchers exploring how different cannabinoids and terpenes interact to influence the efficacy and experience of cannabis.

Understanding the Role of Terpenes in Enhancing the Cannabis Experience

- Aromatic Compounds: Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis, that contribute to the scent and flavor profiles.

- Therapeutic Effects: Beyond their sensory impact, terpenes are believed to offer various therapeutic effects, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and analgesic properties.

- Modulation of Cannabinoids: Terpenes may modulate the effects of cannabinoids like THC and CBD, potentially affecting the onset, intensity, and duration of their effects.

- Multiplicity of Terpene Profiles: Each cannabis strain has a unique terpene profile, which can play a significant role in determining the overall perceived effects of that strain.

- Potential for Personalization: The understanding of terpenes expands the potential for personalization in cannabis therapy, as users can select strains with specific terpene profiles to target certain experiences or therapeutic outcomes.

The exploration of the entourage effect, and the role of terpenes within it, underscores the complex nature of cannabis as a botanical medicine. Rather than a simple sum of its parts, cannabis reveals itself to be a tapestry of compounds that hold the potential to interact in profoundly beneficial ways. The journey into this intricate sphere of plant science continues to challenge our understanding of cannabis and its myriad of applications in the wellness sphere.

Full-Spectrum vs. Isolate: What Type of Cannabis Capsules Should You Choose?

When choosing cannabis capsules, one of the most important decisions you'll make is whether to go with full-spectrum or isolate-based formulations. Both have unique benefits, and understanding the difference can help you choose the best option for your wellness goals.

Full-spectrum cannabis capsules contain a wide range of cannabinoids—including THC, CBD, CBG, CBN—and natural compounds like terpenes and flavonoids. These components work together in what’s called the “entourage effect,” meaning they enhance each other’s benefits when consumed together. This synergy often results in more effective relief from conditions such as chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, and sleep disorders.

On the other hand, CBD isolate capsules contain only pure CBD, with all other plant compounds removed. These cannabis capsules are ideal for people who want the calming and anti-inflammatory benefits of CBD without any THC, especially if they're sensitive to THC or subject to drug testing. Isolate capsules offer targeted relief but may not be as potent overall due to the absence of complementary cannabinoids.

If you're looking for broad therapeutic effects and don’t mind small traces of THC (usually under 0.3%), full-spectrum cannabis capsules may be your best bet. If you want something that's 100% THC-free, CBD isolate capsules are the safer choice.

No matter which type you choose, always look for third-party lab testing to verify cannabinoid content and ensure quality. Also, start with a low dose to understand how your body reacts, especially with full-spectrum products.

In summary, cannabis capsules come in both full-spectrum and isolate forms, and the best choice depends on your personal health goals, lifestyle, and sensitivity to THC. Both offer powerful benefits—it's just a matter of finding what works best for you.

The Best CBD for Sleep: Expert Tips for Better Rest

Sleep is essential for overall health, yet millions struggle with insomnia or poor-quality rest. Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive compound derived from hemp, has gained attention for its potential to promote relaxation and improve sleep. This comprehensive guide explores the best CBD for sleep, offering expert insights into choosing high-quality options, optimal dosages, and practical tips to enhance rest.

Why CBD is Effective for Sleep

CBD interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS), which regulates functions like sleep, mood, and stress. By influencing ECS receptors, CBD may help calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and promote deeper, more restorative sleep. Studies suggest CBD can decrease the time it takes to fall asleep and improve sleep continuity, making it a promising natural remedy for insomnia. Unlike traditional sleep aids, CBD is non-habit-forming and has minimal side effects when used correctly, offering a safer alternative for long-term use.

High-quality CBD products are formulated to target specific sleep issues. For example, full-spectrum CBD contains trace amounts of THC and other cannabinoids, creating an "entourage effect" that enhances relaxation. Broad-spectrum CBD offers similar benefits without THC, ideal for those sensitive to psychoactive compounds. CBD isolates, containing only pure CBD, are another option for users seeking simplicity. Selecting the right type depends on individual needs and sensitivities, ensuring tailored support for better rest.

Choosing the Best CBD Products for Sleep

1. Full-Spectrum CBD Oils for Maximum Efficacy

Full-spectrum CBD oils are highly effective for sleep due to their comprehensive cannabinoid profile. These oils contain CBD, minor cannabinoids, and terpenes like myrcene, which has sedative properties. A top choice is a 1000mg full-spectrum CBD tincture, ideally with a natural hemp flavor to ensure purity. Administering a few drops under the tongue 30 minutes before bed allows for fast absorption, helping users fall asleep faster. Look for products third-party tested for potency and contaminants, ensuring safety and consistency.

2. CBD Gummies for Convenient Dosing

CBD gummies are a popular choice for their ease of use and precise dosing. Formulated with melatonin, a natural sleep hormone, these edibles combine CBD’s calming effects with melatonin’s ability to regulate sleep cycles. A typical serving of 25mg CBD and 5mg melatonin per gummy can promote relaxation and help maintain consistent sleep patterns. Opt for gummies made with organic ingredients and free from artificial additives to ensure quality. Their long-lasting effects make them ideal for those who wake frequently during the night.

3. CBD Capsules for Sustained Release

Capsules offer a controlled-release option for sustained CBD delivery throughout the night. These are perfect for individuals who prefer a tasteless, mess-free option. A 50mg CBD capsule with added ingredients like chamomile or valerian root can enhance relaxation and improve sleep quality. Capsules take longer to absorb than oils but provide consistent effects, making them suitable for those with chronic sleep issues. Always choose brands that provide certificates of analysis (COAs) to verify purity and potency.

Optimal Dosage for Sleep

Finding the right CBD dosage requires experimentation, as factors like body weight, metabolism, and sleep severity vary. Start with a low dose, such as 10-15mg of CBD, and gradually increase by 5mg every few days until desired effects are achieved. Most users find 25-50mg effective for sleep. Taking CBD 30-60 minutes before bed maximizes its calming effects. Consulting a healthcare professional can provide personalized guidance, especially for those on medications, as CBD may interact with certain drugs.

Tips to Enhance CBD’s Sleep Benefits

1. Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine

Pairing CBD with a consistent bedtime routine amplifies its effects. Dim lights, avoid screens, and practice relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing to signal the body it’s time to rest. Taking CBD alongside a warm herbal tea or a light stretch can further promote relaxation, preparing the mind and body for sleep.

2. Choose High-Quality, Lab-Tested Products

Not all CBD products are equal. Prioritize brands that provide transparent lab reports, confirming the absence of pesticides, heavy metals, and residual solvents. Organic, non-GMO hemp sourced from reputable farms ensures a cleaner, more effective product. Reading customer reviews and checking for certifications can guide purchasing decisions.

3. Combine CBD with Sleep Hygiene Practices

Good sleep hygiene complements CBD’s benefits. Maintain a consistent sleep schedule, keep the bedroom cool and dark, and avoid caffeine or heavy meals late in the day. Using CBD alongside these practices creates a holistic approach to better rest, addressing both physical and environmental factors.

Potential Side Effects and Precautions

While CBD is generally well-tolerated, some users may experience mild side effects like dry mouth, drowsiness, or changes in appetite. Starting with a low dose minimizes risks. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals and those with medical conditions should consult a doctor before using CBD. Storing CBD products in a cool, dry place preserves their potency and ensures long-term efficacy.

Why Quality Matters for CBD and Sleep

Investing in premium CBD products ensures better results. Reputable brands prioritize sustainable farming, rigorous testing, and transparent labeling, delivering consistent potency and safety. Poor-quality CBD may contain harmful additives or inaccurate CBD levels, reducing effectiveness and posing health risks. By choosing trusted brands, users can confidently incorporate CBD into their sleep routine for lasting benefits.

This guide provides a detailed roadmap for using CBD to achieve better sleep. From selecting the right product to optimizing dosage and routines, these expert tips empower users to harness CBD’s full potential, paving the way for restful, rejuvenating nights.

THCA Products Online: Legal and Accessible Options

As the market for cannabinoid products expands, many consumers look for THCA products online to explore their potential benefits. Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) is a non-psychoactive precursor to THC found in raw cannabis. When heated, THCA converts to THC, which has psychoactive properties. However, in its raw form, THCA products online provide a legal and non-intoxicating way to enjoy the benefits of cannabinoids.

Online retailers offer a variety of THCA products, including tinctures, isolates, and edibles, allowing consumers to access these products conveniently and discreetly.

How could tiny cannabis capsules help treat neurological diseases?

Cannabis capsules, though small in size, are becoming a powerful tool in the treatment of neurological diseases. These capsules contain concentrated extracts of the cannabis plant — specifically cannabinoids like CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) — which are known for their therapeutic effects on the brain and nervous system.

Let’s understand how these tiny cannabis capsules work, why they’re effective for neurological disorders, and what science says about their benefits.

What Are Cannabis Capsules?

Cannabis capsules are oral supplements filled with a measured dose of cannabis extract. They come in various formulations — full spectrum (including THC and CBD), broad spectrum (CBD + other cannabinoids, no THC), or CBD isolate. Many also include supportive oils like MCT or hemp seed oil for better absorption.

They offer a discreet, tasteless, and convenient alternative to smoking or vaping, especially beneficial for patients with chronic or degenerative neurological conditions who may not tolerate other forms of cannabis well.

How Do Cannabis Capsules Work for Neurological Diseases?

The human body has a complex system known as the endocannabinoid system (ECS) — a network of receptors found throughout the brain and body that helps regulate critical functions such as mood, memory, pain, inflammation, and sleep.

Cannabinoids in cannabis capsules interact with this ECS to restore balance (a state called homeostasis). In neurological diseases, where inflammation, nerve damage, or abnormal brain signaling is common, cannabis can help modulate these issues naturally.

Benefits of Cannabis Capsules in Neurological Diseases

1. Reduces Neuroinflammation

Neurological conditions like Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s Disease, and Alzheimer’s are linked to inflammation in the brain and nerves. CBD is a known anti-inflammatory agent that reduces cytokine activity (inflammatory markers) and protects neurons from further damage.

Capsules provide a steady dose of CBD over several hours, which helps control chronic inflammation without the highs associated with smoking or vaping.

2. Supports Nerve Protection (Neuroprotection)

Cannabis compounds like CBD and THC have antioxidant properties that protect nerve cells from oxidative stress, a key cause of nerve degeneration in diseases like ALS or Huntington’s disease.

By reducing damage from free radicals and improving mitochondrial function, cannabis capsules support long-term brain health and may slow the progression of neurodegenerative disorders.

3. Helps Manage Seizures

CBD capsules have been revolutionary in treating epilepsy, especially treatment-resistant forms like Dravet Syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome. In fact, the FDA has approved a cannabis-derived drug, Epidiolex, based on this very principle.

Capsules allow accurate dosing, which is critical in seizure control. They release slowly in the body, providing sustained relief and reducing the risk of breakthrough seizures.

4. Reduces Muscle Spasms and Tremors

In conditions like MS and Parkinson’s, patients often struggle with involuntary muscle movements or stiffness. THC and CBD help relax muscles, reduce spasticity, and improve mobility.

Cannabis capsules with a balanced CBD:THC ratio are often preferred for their sustained effect and minimal psychoactive impact, making day-to-day functioning easier.

5. Improves Sleep and Mood

Neurological diseases often come with secondary symptoms like insomnia, anxiety, and depression. Cannabis capsules promote better sleep, regulate mood, and reduce anxiety by influencing serotonin and GABA receptors in the brain.

Unlike many pharmaceutical drugs that cause dependency or side effects, cannabis offers a gentler, plant-based alternative with long-term benefits.

Why Choose Capsules Over Other Forms?

Consistent dosing: Each capsule contains a precise amount, removing the guesswork.

Long-lasting relief: Effects can last 6–8 hours, ideal for chronic conditions.

Discreet and convenient: Easy to take anywhere, with no odor or preparation.

Gentler on lungs: No need to inhale smoke or vapor.

For those with neurological disorders, where daily management is key, these factors make cannabis capsules a preferred choice.

What Science Says

Research is still ongoing, but several studies show promising results:

A 2020 study published in Frontiers in Neurology found that CBD helped improve quality of life in Parkinson’s patients without major side effects.

A 2018 review in Molecules highlighted the neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of cannabinoids in Alzheimer’s and MS.

Clinical trials on cannabis-derived medicines like Sativex (a 1:1 THC:CBD oral spray) show reduced spasticity and improved movement in MS patients.

Important Note: Always Consult a Doctor

Though cannabis capsules are natural, they can interact with other medications or cause unwanted effects in some individuals. Always consult a doctor before starting, especially if you are dealing with complex neurological issues.

Conclusion

Tiny as they are, Cannabis Capsules hold immense potential in the management of neurological diseases. From reducing inflammation and protecting nerves to managing seizures and improving mood, these plant-powered capsules offer a natural, science-backed alternative for those seeking relief and recovery.

When chosen wisely and used under medical guidance, they can become a cornerstone of neurological care — one capsule at a time.

PTSD "Awareness" Update: 20-year longitudinal data study after 9/11

We're coming to the end of another "PTSD AWARENESS" month. The first official PTSD Awareness Month in the United States was designated in June 2014. This expanded upon the earlier recognition of PTSD Awareness Day, which was first observed on June 27, 2010, in honor of Staff Sergeant Joe Biel, a North Dakota National Guard member who died by suicide after struggling with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) following two tours in Iraq. The move to dedicate the entire month of June was intended to give more time and visibility to education, advocacy, and support for those affected by post-traumatic stress disorder—both veterans and civilians alike. 15 years later, we still have an epidemic of suicides in service members: now over 153,000 since 9/11. Cases of PTSD are on the rise, owing in part to the COVID pandemic and the effects of long-haul COVID. There’s growing evidence of a strong link between Long COVID and PTSD, both in terms of biological impact and psychological burden. A 2023 study from New York Medical College found that 29% of Long COVID patients met the criteria for PTSD, even among those who had only mild or moderate initial illness. A 3.5-year longitudinal study published in PLOS One (2025) showed that patients with persistent Long COVID had significantly higher rates of depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms compared to those who recovered fully. While some symptoms improved over time, PTSD remained elevated in a subset of patients. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has acknowledged that Long COVID can have “devastating effects on mental health,” including PTSD, due to factors like social isolation, financial stress, and chronic physical symptoms. Those include: - Biological stressors: Ongoing inflammation, autonomic dysfunction, and neurological changes may contribute to trauma-like symptoms. - Psychological trauma: The experience of severe illness, hospitalization, or prolonged uncertainty can be traumatic—especially for those who felt abandoned, dismissed, or isolated. - Overlap of symptoms: Fatigue, brain fog, sleep disturbances, and emotional dysregulation are common to both Long COVID and PTSD, making diagnosis and treatment more complex. PTSD was officially recognized as a distinct mental health diagnosis in 1980, when it was added to the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) by the American Psychiatric Association. Before that, trauma-related symptoms were described under various names across history, including: “Shell shock” (World War I); “Combat fatigue” or “battle fatigue” (World War II); “Post-Vietnam Syndrome”; and now commonly referred to as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Stony Brook University has reported data from a 20-year study on over 12,800 World Trade Center casualties suffering from PTSD. The study investigates PTSD symptom trajectories in WTC responders. They state: "Our findings highlight the enduring impact of PTSD among World Trade Center responders, with substantial variability in individual trajectories. Despite overall modest declines, a subset remained highly symptomatic, underscoring the need for continued treatment." A growing list of natural and produced chemicals are being evaluated, informally and scientifically, in a quest to deal with PTSD and depression. Psilocybin, Ayahuasca, Ibogaine, Mescaline, DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, Salvinorin A, Ketamine, MDMA, LSD, Cannabis (THC/CBD), Kambo, Sassafras (Safrole → MDMA), Sananga, Syrian Rue. The list grows, as do the funds available to research their effectiveness. Texas has just appropriated $50M for ibogaine clinical research infrastructure. Johns Hopkins in Maryland is devoting millions to psilocybin and other psychedelics research. Numerous other states have started or are contemplating legislation to study these substances to alleviate symptoms suffered by millions afflicted with long-Covid, PTSD/TBI/Concussion symptoms. None of the research to date has shown Mechanisms of Action in these mostly-illegal substances that demonstrates brain wound healing. There is no question that "mind altering" substances can have profound and even spiritual effects on the health and wellbeing of patients, but the world of science awaits evidence that the physiology and biology and chemistry of the afflicted is being healed, in addition to altering states of mind and even souls. Without proper diagnoses on the front end of treatment, is will be difficult to properly adjudicate how "healed" the patients are over time. An A.I.-assisted search found that, as of 2023, there were approximately 12,012 mental health treatment facilities in the United States that provided services for conditions like depression and PTSD. A 2022 VA study found a "staggering" cost for PTSD treatments: U.S. civilian and military populations in 2018 combined for more than $230 billion in annual costs. Lost in all the thousands of clinics, foundations, hospitals and studies are peer-reviewed clinical trials showing the safety and efficacy of using Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to treat and help heal PTSD. Israeli research demonstrated that HBOT can improve PTSD symptoms of veterans with combat-associated PTSD. The clinical improvement in behavioral and psychological and emotional and functional capabilities was accompanied by enhanced functional brain connectivity demonstrated by brain imaging. A recent clinical trial out of Utah and a systematic review and dosage analysis out of Louisiana attest, once again, that "HBOT presents a novel therapeutic approach for PTSD, that targets the biological consequences of traumatic events; by inducing a cascade of salutary physiological alterations that culminate in regenerative neuroplasticity, it offers clinical relief to many who had been suffering from long-term, persistent symptoms of PTSD." Real "PTSD Awareness" has to do more than hope "thoughts and prayers" and more of the same standard of care can alleviate the pain, suffering, and burden of PTSD. Awareness should lead to ACTION that understands what the new science of integrative and alternative medicine is already providing to those lucky few who discover legal and immediate healing help from HBOT. TreatNOW. ****************************** The TreatNOW Mission is ending service member suicides. Along the way, we have learned that we can end suicidal ideation, help end symptoms of PTSD, get patients off most of their drugs, and heal brain wounds to end the effects of Concussion, BLAST injury, mild TBI Persistent Post Concussive Syndrome, and polytrauma from AHI, Burn Pits, and COVID. No Veteran or civilian has ever been killed while undergoing HBOT treatment for TBI/PTSD.
