Hey, I'm new to the site but I've been browsing here for a while. My mother was diagnosed with anxiety disorder almost 17 years ago and has been taking anti-depressants most of that time. She depends on them and although she managed to quit for 2 years she is now back on them, only a different form (she now takes sertraline). She is very anti-Cannabis as she has read a little too far into media speculation but I had a conversation about it with her the other day and she agreed that she'll try Cannabis next year but she is first going to try her best to give up cigarettes, alcohol, and anti-depressants (I don't think she'll manage this, but I'm glad she's at least trying).

We all know that using the wrong strains or a little too much can lead to anxiety and paranoia, and I would like some tips on the best way for her to use it that may actually relieve her anxiety rather than causing more. She used to have severe panic attacks every time she left the house and it'd be nice if she had something that could alleviate this and allow her to feel confident when out and about.

I'm pretty well versed on many of the medical benefits of Cannabis however I do not know anyone personally that has anxiety disorder and smokes/eats it, so I would like to see if anyone has more information on the subject, or if anyone has personal experience in this area.

Strain suggestions, smoking vs edibles, etc are all welcome

I might show her this topic once I get some replies too, so if you have any tips for someone who is a little worried about trying it, please post them.

Thanks in advance!
