> experiencing a placebo effect

And if that effect were satisfactory, as it sounds, why would that matter?

Would you even know if it was a psychogenic remedy to what was probably a psychogenic malady in the first place, rather than a peculiar, individual sensitivity that just hasn't been identified in the sparse research on CBD? (You would not)

Active doses vary wildly between people. And spectrum folks (which 30% of hners are) tend to need less of most drugs.

> (which 30% of hners are)

Where is this number from?

it was revealed in a vision

>need less of most drugs.

This one too.

Sorry, got that from one of Thomas D. Brown's books on ADHD. Thought it's a common knowledge, but I struggle to find anything on it on the internet. Source should be in the book tho. Drop me a message at ntgiem2q0rc@opayq.com and I'll reply when\if I find it. Can't ATM.

Thomas D. Brown did a study on HN users and published his findings in a book?

> A 1.25mg dose of CBD is essentially homeopathic levels.

Homeopathic levels are a vanishingly small chance of their being a single molecule of the notional ingredient in a dose. 1.25mg is not even remotely “essentially homeopathic”.

If you felt anything from so little I’d certainly call it placebo

Edit: This was a garbage-tier comment. Leaving it up with edits because I think the links are interesting.

1/4 "serving size" (if you will) isn't homeopathic, ~~and aligns pretty closely with the recommended dose of the only FDA approved CBD medication~~ (see edit below):

> Increase in weekly increments of 5 mg/kg/day (2.5 mg/kg twice daily).

Edit: I'm dumb and mixing mg and mg/kg. This would be 400mg/day for an average adult. Still not homeopathic.

Though the ~~recommended dose~~ (again, see edit below) for various activities does vary wildly:

> post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): 1.5 mg

> difficulty sleeping: 300 mg

Edit: Turns out that's just the dosage that was administered during one of the studies, not necessarily the recommended treatment dosage.

> Despite these early findings and data from two case reports in which CBD improved sleep quality in a single pediatric patient with PTSD and four patients with Parkinson’s disease, we identified only one randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, study with sleep as the primary outcome measure. In this trial, 27 healthy volunteers received either oral CBD (300 mg dissolved in corn oil) or placebo. CBD did not alter any sleep measures (e.g., self-rated sleep quality or polysomnography examinations) relative to placebo.

We really need better studies of this stuff...

Are you mixing mg/kg with straight mg? You know the average patient weighs substantially more than 1kg, right?

Yes. Damnit. Edited.

No, it doesn’t. That says 5 mg per kilogram of bodyweight per day. He’s having 1.25 mg total per day.
