Cannabis - cbd - thcv

Hello, @Gustafason! Welcome to the site! Would you please go over to our New Member Introductions forum and tell us a little about yourself? I'm thinking people here would be particularly interested in your experience with CBD and/or THC in managing your diabetes, particularly since this thread is more than four years old and centers more on the anti-inflammatory aspects of the product rather than insulin-management aspects.

The main study I've seen quoted when people mention these substances positively in connection with diabetes (including in this old thread) is a Harvard-led study that's now around ten years old. I haven't yet managed to track down a copy of the official publication but I do see many health Web sites -- diabetes related and not -- quote from it without listing the assumptions -- which really need to be known before we can rate how highly we can trust the conclusions.

I have seen a study that did not reflect positively on marijuana and diabetes and I know there was a cannabinoid drug introduced for diabetics some years ago in Europe that was withdrawn due to psychotropic effects. On the other hand, I also know people who swear by their CBD products for pain relief, so I'm not going to say there's no connection; only that I think we need more good studies before we can state without reservation that there's only good news about CBD/THC/marijuana and diabetes.
