My goal in 2024 was to give up THC entirely after being a chronic weed smoker for over 13 years. The first month was very hard, but around the end of month two, it got remarkably easier and my cravings began to evaporate completely.

Last month, 6.5 months into my THC quitting journey, I was dealing with really bad insomnia due to covid, and in a desperate attempt to finally get a good nights sleep, I took a CBD gummy that my dad offered me.

Despite my past THC addiction, I never bothered ever consuming CBD since I didn't see the point of taking cannabis without getting high. My understanding was that these products did not have any THC in them whatsoever, so when I took the gummy last month, I assumed that would be okay for me to do and wouldn't interfere with my weed sobriety.

The CBD gummy worked really well in combination with melatonin, so much so that I bought more and started taking them before bed more often (0-3 times a week) since outside of covid, I have chronic insomnia that happens when I wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep.

Last night, however, I took a CBD gummy around 3 AM since I woke up and couldn't fall back asleep, and after taking it, I fell asleep and had a very vivid and anxiety inducing dream that I had gotten high and subsequently remembered that I don't smoke weed anymore! I felt really high in the dream, likely due to the physical effects of the CBD, so it really freaked me out. Then, when I woke up, I was re-reading the label on the packaging of the CBD gummy only to learn the product contains less than .3% THC!! Now I am terrified that there is THC in my system again and potentially interfering with my brain's ability to detox from THC.

I know that non-alcoholic beers also contain a small amount of alcohol, and alcoholics are fine to drink them without a risk of relapse, so my hope is that the same fundamentals apply to CBD. That being said, I would love to hear more from you all. Are CBD gummies safe for recovering THC addicts to take? Did I just erase all of my progress? I haven't really had any cravings for weed since I first started taking CBD last month, but regardless, I'm a bit stressed out about the whole situation.
