I think it helped all those but the psychosis. Delusions were no better.

Believe he's talking about canibus not the extract canibidiol. Regardless guess it can't hurt to try realistically. For me, it usually made OCD worse, then better as I slept or ate. But for others, especially those with PTSD it has worked wonders. Canibidiol as lamdage referred to is an extract from canibus aka weed/pot ect that is kind of inverse to thc. In high doses it can be an effective antipsychotic. It is one of two main ingredients in pot with the other being thc, and depending on the strain the level will vary. Overall if you are smoking por, it most likely will activate psychosis. But overall, some say it helps others like me say it dosnt.
