Sativas and Anxiety

[chance942]

Yes Sir it is a lot. I still take between 4 and 6mg.

I believe your wish may come true thanks to our economy being in the toilet. Ever heard of geodon? It is what they inject raging people that do not respond to ativan with in the hospital. The pills cost $450 for 60! I personally prefer to spend that on say a 1/2 and some edibles haha.

Thanks for the wishes. I wish nothing but the best for you.Be well.

I have noticed that Indica strains, especially strong indicas, like kushes, have a tendency to cause some anxiety, heart racing, etc.. Sativas, on the other hand, usually have the opposite effect, calming and relaxing the smoker.

i have the same encounter lately. i got really anxious and angry. I did Bubba Dawg and Ghost OG. Both hybrids though. I couldn't trust anyone..i felt mad for no reason. weird. so i cut it down to one bowl a day instead of 2 or 3. I've been smoking for about 3 months straight. Now i just smoke sative (Green Crack) before working out. I read about the same reasons on Medical Marijuana Bootcamp site.

I had a really bad trip in high school on this experimental drug called 2C-I. It has fucked me up ever since and I have never been the same. I also have panic attacks and have had them for the last 5 years, ever since i took that drug. I usually have a panic attack every couple of days so it tends to be very disruptive to my life.


Its not the marijuana that is giving you anxiety, its how your mind reacts to effects of being high. Some people dont like the racy, speedy high of some of the sativa strains and can make some anxious. I dont feel anxious on the sativas, nor do i feel energetic. They help me focus and concentrate on tasks and activities better.

Anxiety=Fear

Anxiety is the bodies natural response that is commonly refered to as your fight-or-flight response. Its a natural response that happens to the body during sudden times of stress and when you need to make a quick reaction. Basically if you were walking down the street and a car veered off the road and you had to jump out of the way, anxiety would your natural response. Anxiety disorders are when the brain has lost some of its ability to disguish when you should feel anxious and when you should feel normal.


its just fear basically. You can take prescptions all of your life and fry your fucking brain like my mother, cousins, and grandparents(what the fuck do you think valium does after 30 years? it turns you into a fucking vegatable!)
Do you wanna treat the symptoms or do you wanna treat the disease? I will never take drugs because the day i can calm myself down from a panic attack, is the day my anxiety ends

Actually, it's the fact that Indica strains mess with my sense of time that makes me anxious. Sativas are much better on my anxiety. I think the anxiety reaction is largely subjective and individual.

I agree, in my experience cbd is bad for my anxiety and depression, sativa doesn't mess with me, the only times I trip is on indica and especially on it in public, can't even seem to make eye contact cuz I feel so down.

Personally any type of sativa relaxes me and indica is the kind that could give me some panic about certain things sometimes because it gives me the body high not the mental high. Thats why I prefer sativa over indica! If your having panic attacks on sativa try indica and then try a hybrid ... you need to experiment alittle. If your smokin 2g a day by yourself of course you might get some anxiety so try 1.5 or 1g a day and see how that goes.
