I've been trying to research studies but haven't found many that gets my attention. I think I'll be using it for my patients with caution if they fit the differential dx. Same with cbd and mushrooms. Maybe will stick with Traditional Chinese Medicine formulas but as an herbalist and a healer aider I like to explore more options for my patients. I am currently a student so I should say "future patients".
Cool. Yeah I've used it a fair bit and haven't noticed any side effects or dependency issues. It's nice to have around in the toolkit for certain ailments.

One thing I've noticed with chronic users is dependency on it just as with other opioids, however it's more natural and less ill side effects. Things like nausea, headaches, and stomach issues can happen to certain people especially with higher dosages. I've experienced nausea myself and white veins is too stimulating for me. So I think it all depends on strain, dosages, and the individual just like anything you know. So if I had to prescribe this to a patient or client I would keep these things in mind, just like the other herbs/formulas I would use.
NEVER A ONE SIZE FITS ALL FOR ANYTHING.

I raw dog weekends. No coffee, alcohol, stimulants, or anything. Just life. I think that really curbs any dependencies.
