I'd like to start off by saying I am an experienced drug user. I've also smoked weed almost every day for the past year until about September, I stopped cold turkey and had no withdrawals or side effects. I've never ingested marijuana nor do I have any desire to. Weed gives me really bad anxiety so I always kept to smoking that right before bed. I've taken a lot of drugs, I try to avoid hallucinogens and stims, I'm mostly an opiate an benzo user but not even those lately. I stopped taking benzos in march I finished weening myself down from a 8mg daily xanax habit. Since March, my anxiety was really bad but has leveled off the past few months, so I figured I would try CBD to see if it would help.
So I was on Reddit on a CBD sub and I found a lot of talk about a company selling 'legal CBD' sourced from hemp. I purchased 2 bottles for what seemed like a great price. I took about 2x the dosage the bottle said since most websites recommended 180mg CBD per day. I felt really good, my anxiety was going away, my focus was great, I wasn't high and I was sleeping really well. The bottle I had was almost empty so I decided to leave it at work so I wouldn't be tempted to take the rest before my next bottle of legal CBD arrived. I'm really glad I did that despite what happened next.
On Saturday, at 12 p.m. I took about 60mg of this stuff according to the dosage on the back of the bottle, I didn't trip or hallucinate at all that day or any day that I had taken the stuff. But on Sunday, right after I ate dinner I started breaking out in cold sweats, I started seeing 'visuals' like my old tripping days, the sort of thing that happens what I smoke pot but MUCH more noticeable. My wife sounded like she was speaking through a megaphone, I wasn't anxious but I felt like I was wigging out on acid, you probably know that 'oh fuck!' moment. I went and laid down, I had a crazy body buzz almost like I had huffed duster or a whip it, it was not THC like some of the other people on the CBD sub on Reddit say.
I've never ingested THC, I know it's scary but this was not that, it can't be. This happened about 36 hours after taking that crap, I felt like I was in withdrawal, I still do. It feels like I'm on a research chemical to this very minute, much like 2-cb or methylon, it's really hard to explain and it comes and goes. My muscles are tight, my skin feels cold and my nose feels wet. I came here because on /r/CBD they are really dismissive and I can't figure out if it's people shilling for the company I bought this stuff from --I know that sounds a bit like paranoia but the sub is full of shills-- or if they really believe that the negative side effects are simply the CBD guy not providing lab results because he's selling them CBD with THC in it.
I guess I could get into this further depending on the response of this thread. I'm almost certain I've been dosing myself with low doses of a synthetic THC type drug for over a week unknowingly, and suffering the side effects of WD right now. Thanks guys and sorry for the mess above, I'm not exactly in my right mind today and even when I am, my syntax is pretty bad.
