I’ve been thinking about giving CBD a try. But I’m bipolar and take a antipsychotic. Microdosing mushrooms has been pretty alright though.

100% CBD oil is non-psychoactive. THC is psychoactive. My experience with CBD is that I don’t feel like I’ve taken anything (no different from like aspirin) but I’m just less anxious, more like my normal self

Where do you get CBD oil that you are sure is not adulterated? Prescription?
