I have avoided smoking because it use to give me anxiety. Lately I have been experimenting with trying to alleviate some of my anxiety and depressio n by smoking a little with my friends.

I now find that I usually get short term relief, but about two days later without smoking and I'm worse than ever.

The bottom line is that I'm sick of being miserable and if anyone has had the same experience as mine. Also, I know different strains have different effects, so what can I try ?

I live in a state that does allow medical marijuana and want to approach my doctor about it, as I also have a history of chronic pain that I have suffered with periodically my whole life.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

well i have suffered from serious depression for the last two years, probly just because of my situation. but im a mmj patient and have tried many different strains that would help numb my chronic pain, i found out that a sativa dominant just makes me super parinoid and raises the level of my anxiety and keeps my head running 100 mph. it realy does nothing for me at all. i found that a realy strong indica dominant realy relieves all of this, it makes me start feeling happy as soon as it hits, numbs my pain the best, and gives me the body high that im looking for to relax my mind and keeps me more clear headed. no more depression, no more anxiety, and no more pain. people will tell you different strains to try, but i can tell you its not a sativa your after. if you can find, try a realy good afgani or purp kush, BB, big bud, or humbolt. these high indica dominants have been my weapon of choice and have never let me down. good luck, hope this helps
