With the increasing popularity of cannabidiol (CBD) products for anxiety relief, including CBD gummies, there is a growing interest in understanding their potential side effects among community members. This case study aims to explore the experiences and perspectives of individuals within our community who have used CBD gummies for anxiety management, focusing on the potential side effects they have encountered.
Methodology:

Some individuals reported experiencing mild to moderate side effects, particularly when starting CBD gummies or adjusting their dosage.
Individual Variability: It was observed that individuals’ responses to CBD gummies varied widely. While some reported no adverse effects and experienced significant anxiety relief, others noted discomfort or adverse reactions, prompting them to discontinue use or adjust their dosage.
Importance of Dosage and Quality: Community members emphasized the importance of dosage and product quality in minimizing side effects and maximizing therapeutic benefits. Those who experienced adverse effects often attributed them to improper dosing or the use of low-quality CBD gummies.
Need for Education and Awareness: Many participants expressed a desire for more education and awareness regarding the potential side effects of CBD gummies. They emphasized the importance of informed decision-making and the need for healthcare professionals to provide guidance on safe and effective CBD use.
