This review has taken me a lot longer than I thought it would. When I first agreed to do it I thought I would have it done in a week…two weeks tops. But certain things in my life have gotten in the way. In the past I was scared to talk about these things because I was judging and hating on myself but now I’m at a place where I NEED to be honest. I have been struggling with addiction to thc for the last four years and it pretty much destroyed my life. It really helped me numb out certain traumatic events but it also numbed out my personality. Not completely because I kept up a very well applied mask most of the time but very much mostly. I stopped talking to my friends and family, stopped reading and engaging in pretty much everything that I enjoyed before thc, except from tv. It also made me severely depressed, anxious and worsened my eating disorder-although I wasn’t fully aware of these effects until, in light of developing psychotic type symptoms, I had to stop. I stopped for two months over the summer and was starting to feel a lot more like myself. But then my friend invited me to a small gathering and we got drunk and smoked and I thought maybe I can smoke it, maybe I’ll be okay. But it sucked me back in and I found my OCD getting really, really bad again and I found myself withdrawing into myself like a hermit crab as the tide rushes towards it. And the darkness of these winter months plus the continuation of lockdown….everything mixed together, it’s been really fucking difficult. I’m five days sober now, I really hope it continues.

Your probably wondering why I’m telling you this.

I’m telling you this because, without CBD I wouldn’t have been able to make it through the last few years. I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t even be here today had I not found CBD two and half years ago. I’m telling you this because I want you to know how much of a real difference CBD has made to my life, how much it has really had a massively positive impact on my life. How it has helped me way more than any psychiatric and pharmaceutical pain relief has ever helped.

I wish I could share with every single person in the world how much it has helped me and I wish I could help them help themselves with CBD. Unfortunately it would extremely difficult to reach such a wide audience, as the whole planet, so I’ll just have to be content with however many people read this and hope upon hope that it helps at least one person.

I’ve been using CBD in some form or another for the last 2 and a half years now and recently Browns CBD reached out to me to do a review of their patches. I’ve tried other patches from other companies before and they’ve also been good but Brown’s have been the best I’ve tried that work by head on targeting my pain.
