Sativas and Anxiety

[SativaSyborg]

To start off, I get severe anxiety when in public places. Most of the time I will puff a bit before leaving the house to sort of put me in my own world, and a lot of the time it works. But there are times where smoking can trigger my anxiety, without me even leaving the house. This normally happens when I smoke more than usual, say more than one or two grams depending on the quality. This has happened a couple times to me and I got to thinking, could it be the more intense high of a Sativa that triggers it? Panic attacks and Marijuana do not mix well. Does anyone have any experience with anxiety and specifically Sativa strains?

Thank you in advance, peace.:hippy::rastasmoke:

I find that its the hybrids that cause anxiety for me. My theory is that its kind of a conflict of interests going on. The sativa side makes me want to go out and do something while the indica side is trying to keep the remote in my hands. Pure Sativa's always put a big smile on my face and the last thing on my mind is anxiety. Indica's are more prone to giving me anxiety because I don't like it when my body feels to far gone from control. I guess it depends who you are.

Perhaps it is Indica that 'causes this then, because that whole body feeling is what makes me panic for some odd reason.

I've found that stuff with more sativa in it messes with my anxiety..A good hybrid or indica dominant let mature longer thus increasing CBD seems to have a good reaction for me..

Not to mention I've always preferred to be stoned than real high in the first place :stoned:

I've been there, I believe it is the sativas that cause that anxiety more. I've smoke a few and tripped out... but it is all in the mind....

Yeah, I use to have anxiety attacks after smoking too much.. It went away though.

definitely. i smoked two bowls of shoreline a few days ago and felt like i was going to die. some friends and i were hanging out and 15 minutes after smoking i began feeling anxious. i was ready to jet. i have quite some history concerning panic attacks and found that smoking too much (especially hardcore strains like shoreline) brings that freaky feeling back. now it's one puff at a time...

Like the others will tell as well, sativas aren't gonna help anxiety and personally make my anxiety worse too. Indicas relax and put you to sleep if alot is smoked. Light amounts of strong indica's are good for anxiety. Most sativa's in my experience will make your heart race and pace around. Experiment for yourself to find out though.

hello has all !

I do not know if one can consider Satori
Satori
and Swiss Bliss
Products - Seeds
as Sativa but their effect does not get panic or anxiety.
These 2 genetics are well for 1 high sativa positive.

when the phenomena of anxiety for a long time are smoked or parano arrives + often.
(that is my case. I am obliged to choose my genetics attentively.)

see has soon :thumbsup:

i suffered from severe anxiety/attacks but since i started smoking (approx 4 years ago) i haven't had a single anxiety problem since:jointsmile: having said that if im not smoking, it returns although some certain strains of potent indica do not agree with me but its more of a frustration then anxiety :hippy:
