Anyone taking CBD oil during nofap?

[Deleted member 419454]

I‘m tempting to buy some CBD oil because I feel stressed since I‘ve started nofap. I‘ve read that CBD could help you to relax and you don‘t get addicted from it..
Anyone taking CBD oil does it help? And if so in what dosage you take it?

Hi Spartan,

I was just discussing this yesterday with my brother, who is also a former PMO addict. I've taken CBD oil twice a day for about a year - first thing in the morning and right before sleep at night. I use a tincture in a 20:1 ratio of CBD to THC. 7 drops in the morning, 7 drops before bed.

Quick note - I am a long-time anxiety sufferer that has always dealt with chronic stress. This has manifested itself in social anxiety, OCD, and insomnia.

Here are the pros and cons of CBD:

Pros:
1. Massively decreased anxiety
2. Overall sense of well-being
3. Increased ability to concentrate on tasks without getting distracted
4. Body relaxation - no desire to fidget etc...
5. Better quality sleep
6. Less soreness from workouts
7. Kills depression

Cons:
1. Expensive
2. Taste like sh**
3. THC in CBD oil may mess with you depending on your tolerance
4. THC in CBD oil may result in PMO urges being more difficult to resist

Methods of Taking CBD oil (Ranked from my experience)
1. Tincture - lasts all day, great absorption
2. Vaping - works well, but lasts for a couple of hours only
3. Gummies/edibles - very expensive, and usually contains large amounts of THC

If you do choose to use CBD oil, make sure you are buying a 20:1 CBD to THC ratio. My brother was just commenting how CBD tinctures can send your urges through the roof, and we both agreed that it was the THC overstimulating the dopamine receptors, that causes the issue. Long story short, CBD is a wonderful product that can really help you battle stress. Just want you to know that there are also a number of drawbacks before you make your decision. Let me know if you have any questions!

Wow thanks a lot for your reply very informative!
Can you maybe tell me what percentage of CBD oil you have taken? Was it 6% or 12% or maybe more? Because 14 drops are very different in each percentage of concentration of CBD.

Yeah definitely! I take a tincture that is a 20:1 ratio, meaning that it is 95% CBD, 5% THC. I've tried several different tinctures over time, but the brand that works best for me and is the cheapest is called Green Revolution. The product is called "Relief." They make both a daytime and nighttime version.

Just be careful that if don't smoke regularly, you might get slightly high the first couple of times you use it. CBD also takes a while to take enter the bloodstream, so don't expect an immediate effect. You will start to feel the full benefit within a few days of using it, once the CBD is sustaining a certain level in the body.

Other than that, it is a fantastic product that calms the nerves and will make NoFap flatlines / anxiety way more manageable. Would love to hear more from you about your experience trying CBD on NoFap, if you decide to try it. If it works for you as well as it does for me then we might be onto something!

Had great results with CBD.

• Sleep amazing if you take it before bed when feeling restless
• Reduces anxiety – a lot! I had severe anxiety and this made it much easier for me to work in the office
• Makes you very relaxed, always got erections after taking it!
• Feel lighter

Bad parts:

• Very expensive
• My body got used to it fast so it takes more to get the same effects that you first got
• I found it gave me eye spasms at first. Could be a coinsidence
• I started relaying on it a bit too much

It helps. For me, at least. It takes your mind off it, and it's good for managing stress and staying relaxed.

I usually take around 25-30mg per day, but it's important to find the right dosage that works for you.

Yeah I've been taking the highest strength drops on and off for a few months. The drops are the best IMHO as it's better value for money. Vaping isn't great for you and the gummies are covered with sugar and funky stuff.

Pros:

• Anxiety is massively reduced
• Most of the time, it helps me sleep
• It seems to boost arousal! Maybe this is because it just makes you more relaxed but often I feel some sensation down there shortly after taking it
• It lowers depression a little
• Helps me on the days PAWS are kicking my ass

Cons:

• Very expensive
  
• My body gets used to it quickly. After a few days, I don't get the same benefit
• It's illegal in many countries so be DAM careful where you take it
• You can start to rely on it a bit too much
• It can sap your focus a little
• It doesn't taste great

I think it's a good weapon to have in your arsenal to get out of PMO addiction but don't rely on it too much.

Starting a new drug to help deal with another drug / addiction. Sounds healthy to me....not.
Recovery from PMO takes courage, not hiding in new addictions. Not only that, but substances are frequently the road back to relapse since they impair our judgement / decision-making brain.
Proceed with caution.

I took it once and it did make me calm. But not hugely. So it was not worth it for me.
I bought rhodiola rosea that has also some other ingredients for like 25 percent of the price since I found that makes me calm aswell and even lasts a little longer.

Very expensive

CBD gummies are not so expensive. These gummies have been just as effective for me as other, more expensive forms of CBD. I buy a pack of 60 gummies for about $60 from joyorganics.com, which lasts me an entire month since I take two a day. At just $2 a day, it's much more manageable financially.

Damn, it's still expensive. Ashwaghanda costs only 10 dollars. But if it works for you, I'm glad there is that option.

I know it's been a while, but some folks find CBD oil helpful during naps. It can chill you out and help with those cravings. It’s like having a cozy blanket on a chilly night, you know? I tried it myself, and it took the edge off.

 

[OlenVinera]

I’ve tried a few things for stress during NoFap, and CBD oil definitely helped me chill out and sleep better. It’s pretty good for calming anxiety, but honestly, I ended up liking delta 9 gummies even more. They’ve got a nice, mellow vibe without making me feel too out of it, which can happen with some THC stuff.
