I love WW, and have never - nor has anyone I've ever shared it with - felt anxious after smoking it. Strains like White Widow, White Rhino, etc., definitely don't make you lethargic, but they're usually fairly uplifting and relaxing at the same time. They're also pretty potent, so you just need to take it, like everything else, in moderation and the buzz is fantastic.

I've actually heard of people with anxiety disorders being worse off after smoking an indica dominant strain. For some people, the sedating effect actually allows paranoia to creep in, due to the loss of connection with their environment, and causes the person to panic. This rarely happens with sativa dominants, again just as long as it's ingested in moderation. Just another point of view on the topic from someone who's grown the "white" strains and who's also been clinically diagnosed with acute anxiety.
