Hi Scott,
Yes I do. THC gets a bad rap because it can cause a high. But, it is also the cb1 / cb2 agonist. CBD may indirectly interact with these receptors, but it is not a direct agonist.
CB2 agonism is what confers the significant anti-inflammatory effect (especially brain inflammation). CB1 agonism improves mood and can negate aversive effects of stress. CB1 agonist may also have neurotrophic effects.
I probably don't take more than a milligram or two of THC a day (afternoon). But, the effect is potent, and it really seems to attack my cliuster of symptoms (anxiety, depression, insomnia, pain, low appetite, anhedonia, hypersensitivity to light and sound etc).
