I have had great success with tinctures that I make from my home-grown cannabis. I use high THC strains, some high CBD strains, and I add CBD. It takes some days to begin to feel the effects (other than the high), but after taking my tincture for some weeks, I began to notice an "opening of space" in my emotions which were frequently constricted before. By opening of space, I mean that it becomes easier for me to reason rather than react defensively in dealing and getting along with others. So emotional opening results in more rational responses to situations vs. defensiveness.

We all know how defensive we can be when we are in anxiety, and between January and June of this year I felt about as anxiety-free as I've felt in a long time, and I was taking the tincture daily. I was on a five-week break from the tincture starting mid-June because i had surgery; now I am taking the tincture again, at a much lower dose, and I am beginning to feel its effects. It's been about 3 weeks that I began using it again. It has helped with post-op blues!!!
