The way CBD interacts with your serotonergic system is very complicated. In short, there are many ways CBD may increase serotonin by activating the serotonin receptors but not causing re-uptake, thus increasing the amount of serotonin in the synapses.

CBD is a very interesting substance. My main gripe is that, to get antidepressant and anxiolytic effects, dosages are higher than what can conveniently (and affordably) be achieved with the strength of currently available drops/flowers on the market.

I used CBD for mental health a few years ago to great effect. This company https://hemp-market.eu/hemp-products/ was the only I found that made it affordable. Worth a look.

Agree. It’s easily a $60/mo investment to get a properly tested, refined dosage.

Much more expensive than say a $5/mo Wellbutrin or Lexapro generic.
