Marijuana and Anxiety

[panicsux]

how do i find indica strain weed? everyone here usually have sativa i think, how can you tell if its indica? i would love to get my hands on some indica if I only knew how to.

Indica is usually what you get , pretty much everywhere Ive lived ( up and down the west coasat) Sativa seems the harder to find IMO?

How can you tell ...hmm well by dried bud alone, hard to tell, maybe sativa is longer and thinner bright green bud indica more compact 'nugg' type darker buds.....but hard to tell.


Peace.

Listen, Your thoughts and worry/panic CAN NOT hurt you. Fear is your worst enemy with anxiety, because when we are scared , we're automatically in a heightened state of anxiety...this leads to panic attacks, racing thoughts, rapid heart beat....feling like you are gonna die, gonna go crazy, gonna 'lose control'....etc etc "

Trust me Ive had them ALL. The next day you feel uneasy because of the effect that fear has on the body chemestry....nothing bad..just kinda like a fear hangover

So , this uneasy feeling leads to a touch of fear...is it happening again ? we ask ourselves = more fear = more anxiety , ect ect...

Once you recognize the cyclic pattern of it all, you'll automatically be back in more control...

If you find yourself caught in the cycle of anxiety , look back a few posts . I posted a few websites you should check out to find some awnsers. These sites helped me take control of my anxiety .

thanks for that link essence....
panic...indica heavy crosses are predominantly what you get on the street, at least where i live as well.. The ones i am talking about are usually darker, more dense buds...but like essence said, its hard to tell...the leaves on indicas are much wider and shorter than sativa... black domina is a very good indica for anxiety as well.

Listen, Your thoughts and worry/panic CAN NOT hurt you.

I also was told this by others, that its mind over matter and its all in the head, BUT when i went to the emergency room and talked to the intake nurse I asked her if people can die from panic attacks and to my surprise she said yes they can, because you can hyperventilate to death, suffocate yourself, induce a heart attack, cardiac arrest, etc. In a way I wish she did not tell me this because now if I do happen to get brave and smoke weed again and have a panic attack , instead of saying "oh its just a panic attack and it wont hurt me and it will pass" I will be thinking "oh shit i can possible die from this" and that will scare me even more.

and as for the indica, im from toronto canada and over here im pretty sure its mostly all sativa bud, I really wanna get my hands on some indica im even thining about trying out that legal bud you can get online , i wonder if that would cause panic attacks and/if the high is the same as real weed, any of you guys try it out before? I heard you can buy like an ounce for 40 bucks. lol

Humm I never though of the specific strain would have something to do with it but it makes sense, because some stuff I smoke and Im high and relaxed others my hearts racing and im a little freaked out...Thanks Birdgirl

I have to be careful with strains that are mostly sativa, or I will have an anxiety attack. The other night I mixed two strains, one strain I have been using for about a week, and another strain that I have been avoiding because it tastes like crap. Turns out the one that tastes like crap causes anxiety for me, I stopped using it and went back to the other, and no more anxiety problems. I almost wonder if a strain high in CBD can reverse the symptoms of anxiety, though I have not tried this. Hmm, maybe that can be my project for tomorrow, self induce anxiety with the crap weed and see if the other will cure it, lol.

The best way to naturally overcome anxiety, I have found, is to constantly remind yourself that it won't hurt you, it's just in your head, and will pass. Eat a large meal if you can, drink some water, and watch a relaxing movie, you'll be fine.

when people talk about different strains working for different problems i agree totally 100%. However here in England and im sure its the same in most parts of the world we dont have the luxury of a menu, and a choice of which strain works for what. Unless you grow your own or try over a 100000 different strains your never going to know which suits you. You could be lucky and grow your own and experiment or know a grower to chat with im sure the many growers here will tell you which is good for what but to get that strain you have to grow yourself.

thats why i grow my own meds....i have read recently that they found out CBDs aren't psychoactive....but it does have anti-anxiety properties...thats why i get the strains i do, the "heavy" indicas help my anxiety VERY well, much better than xanax, ativan, or clonopin..and i don't get all the shitty side-effects...they are also good for stomach issues...i would HIGHLY recommend going to amsterdam and getting some seeds smokestoomuch... being in england there are many seedbanks you can get to much easier than we can actually....heres a link on CBDs and anxiety....

What is the difference between CBD and CBN

[smokestoomuch]

nice one snsstealth.

My anxiety is very high and while i love smoking high grade skunk, hash (good hash which i cant get regularly get) takes the anxiety away so much more. I feel far more relaxed smoking good quality hash than good quality skunk because i dont know what im smoking. Dealers may say this is this and that is that but unless you grow your own with your own seeds you dont know what is indica and what is sativa until your high. Smoking good quality skunk still keeps me cool dont get it twisted i just feel i could be far more relaxed.

I will definately be growing my own soon, but gaining as much info on which strain to grow is far more important.

could you let me know which strains are the best for anxiety

safe

keep toking, keep smiling, keep burning :rastasmoke:

any of the "heavy hitter" indicas will be great for ya....afghani's, diesels, kushs, anything over 70% indica I would say...some strains are way more suited for anxiety, and not just a couch-lock stone...check the med-strain section for some others....
