I am in my mid 40s and have never used drugs either medicinally or recreationally. I don't drink. I have suffered depression along with anxiety for most of my adult life. A dear friend of mine (who WAS suffering severe depression) told me about greens for treating depression. I smoked my first pipe (2 hits) at her house of Green Crack and I felt a tiny bit happier. It did have some relief. After getting my license (the next day) I did a ton of research. I went to a local shop and the woman helping me told me to try CW with a small bit of Sour Diesel. I also got a small electronic cig of high CBD. I tried it today and found myself singing, playing music and doing the dishes. I also have a terrible compulsive eating disorder and I was not hungry. I feel like the sadness has been lifted. What I smoked was high CBD and little THC. I do not like the feeling of being high or not in control. I was crying almost every day and contemplated suicide countless times. I have been on antidepressants for years but feel they have stopped working. The CW with a tiny bit of SD (2 puffs only), had completely changed my life. I am so grateful for this stuff. I feel like I have a life with living now.. 💕
One of the best strains for pain and anxiety. Low THC so no couch lock or paranoia for those who are sensitive. Can 100% function on it doing your daily tasks. We need more growers that grow low THC and high CBD strains.
My Son has XQ28 duplication that brings on seizures. We have been using CW for a week at 50 ml 2 x a day. 90 % reduction in seizures + old personality starting to shine through. ~ GREAT BEGINNING! :)
Simply put, this strain destroyed my anxiety. The high is extremely clear headed which allows you the choice to go about your day or just chill. I've suffered from anxiety and depression for a few years and this has helped me find myself again. It's only been two weeks and I'm nowhere near 100% but I'm way better than I was two weeks ago which is saying alot. For me, this really makes me feel my past pain stored in my mind and body. It sounds like a bad thing, but this process feels like a purge of all that negativity which leaves me feeling drained at the end of a session but in a really good way. Your bed will never feel more comfortable once it's time for bed, and you wake up feeling great. This is medicine in the truest sense. Only negative side effects I've noticed is slight dry mouth. Staying well hydrated will eliminate this.

I have fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and some kind of spasm/twitch/involuntary movement hell that we're working on a name for.
For the last part a neurologist (who I have since fired from my care team) told me to take klonopin. I took it as directed and it was the worst pain of my life and I've had two kids since the fibro started. Took pain spasms in major muscle groups to ones that involved my ribs and diaphragm which meant I couldn't breath when the spasm was happening. It was horrifying. Took a double dose of the tizanidine that I was on and three times the amount of a tincture made using White Fire (hybrid that helps with pain/spasms) to get things to calm enough to sleep. When the tincture wore off about 5 hours later things started to ramp back up again. Ended up in the ER writhing and crying and cursing because I was hysterical with pain. They gave me dilauded and it didn't do a damn thing for the pain.
What did help was valium but made me foggy and I can't work like that. My research brought to my attention a strain of cannabis called Charlotte's Web. It has a THC content of only 0.6% with a CBD above 10%. THC is what gives you the high of cannabis. The strain was developed specifically for a little girl that was having hundreds of seizures a day. Her family heard that CBD could help, tried it and it helped her so much they moved from the east coast to Colorado so she could get it legally. My theory was that since many of the pharmaceuticals I've been put on for spasms/twitches/wtfever have also been anti-seizure meds then a cannabis strain breed for seizures would help as well.
I can't smoke or vape anything (sensitive lungs) but I can do edibles and tinctures. Got some of the CW and processed half in coconut oil and the other half went into Everclear to make a 2-week tincture. So I'm using the Charlotte's Web baked in cookies during the day and the Valium at night plus for break through spasm-hell. If I get pissed off as badly as I was yesterday afternoon by some call center idiot nurse then all bets are off and I have to upgrade to the valium for break through. But I can work on the Charlotte's Web with very little high or pain fog. I get the occasional twitch but none of the terrifying chest spams that stop my breathing.
Going to get some growing in my hydroponic set up as soon as I can get a couple of clones from a group in the next county over (only guys that have them).
This strain is amazing and I cannot say how grateful I am that I was able to find out where to find it on Leafly.
I have tried numerous strains over the course of my life, and every one has caused be some degree of paranoia. EVERY ONE.
Every one except for this one. Maybe that's due to its relative dearth of THC. Maybe it's due to the excess of CBD. Maybe both; I don't know. But I know that when I drink, I don't always want to chug hard liquor. Sometimes I just want a beer or two. Similarly, I don't always want to get high as a kite. But most contemporary strains today are more akin to vodka than beer: unless you're very careful, you will get very stoned very quickly.
Personally, I don't EVER want to get "high as a kite," because of the aforementioned problems with paranoia, so this is perfect for me (but don't let the "2% THC" fool you—this strain can feel a little stronger than that low percentage would indicate). It's the only strain I would even consider using socially.
Highly recommended.

I'm a pro CBD activists which is why I love all CBD.. I'm more interested in low THC high CBD other then the 1to1 ratio or such. I picked up two grams and a Pre roll of CW it's my go to when I have to be clear head for work and stuff and still get relief.
