Help dealing with effects of pot

[moody420]

well, I hope you are not taking the xanax anymore. That stuff will make you a mess!

I agree with havoc and charbud about sticking to the indica cannibis. Indica strains will help with your anxiety and make it easier to relax. It's not typically a social strain, so keep that in mind if you have things to do. It's great for pain and relaxation.

Do you have your recommendation? If not, I would get one....sounds like you have some medical reasons which would justify a prescription (anxiety, panic attacks). Having access to a medical dispensary will be really helpful to someone like you that seeks a specific type of cannabis. When you buy from a dealer, you pretty much take what you can get. Even buying from the same guy doesn't mean you are getting the same weed. :jointsmile:

It's been almost nine months since I last took a Xanax, they feel good but are too easy to get hooked on. I've grown to be entirely skeptical of prescription meds as well. I won't take anything stronger than Ibuprofen unless it's a life/death situation.

Unfortunately I live in Florida, and we are a little behind on civil liberties here. I don't smoke as much as I used to anyway because long gone are the days when I could just vegetate on my best friends couch while playing Xbox. So I can afford to be picky until i find the right dealer. I'll be going to Canada at the end of the month, and their weed laws are awesome, so I'll see if I can find some Indica and test the results.

Moody420, you mentioned that they will help me relax (which is what I am looking for) but you also said that it's not a social bud. Does that mean I am just going to zone out and not laugh and participate in conversation, or walk around in the park? Or that It's just not the type of bud to smoke before work or meeting your girlfriend's parents?

if you haven't already you might research the difference between CBD and THC. THC induces anxiety and some mania/paranoia, as well as tachycardia (fast heartbeat) . CBD does the opposite. It's difficult to get CBD rich strains outside of Cali, but if you can find Hash that's the way to go, otherwise you might try and get your hands on trimmings or leaves and mix it with your bud when you smoke. leaves have more CBD. Indicas have more cBD than sativa, but not necessarily that much.

Do you think it could might be that the prednisone kinda "triggered" something in your body to make you start having panik attacks/altered tolerence to herb? or are you only having the panic attacks when you smokke?

I get this same way sometimes. MOst of the time from smoking too much :wtf: The problem with living in a shitty state like MA is i cant buy the exact types of bud i want so i get whatever is around. Heavy sativa strains will make you anxious/active. also try smoking less. all you need is a nice green chunk in a bowl.
