Anxiety helpers

[SueGlenn]

Has anyone tried weed for anxiety? If so did it help? Asking for a friend?😂

Honestly drugs like weed are a problematic way of managing mental health. I have a friend who used weed to manage their anxiety, but after a while they just found they got sketchy dreams and felt more anxious. For some they say it does seem to help, but then you have the stigma of having a drug habit. Honestly if you were thinking of trying weed to mellow anxiety use CBD oil, which is derived from cannabis but legal. Some kinds of weed can also make anxiety worse. Avoid skunk I know others who got more panicky and paranoid after smoking too much skunk.

Smoked pot 30 years. With my worsening anxiety and depression it now make me very Paranoid. So I quit years ago.

It did help me at one point, however ultimately caused me tremendous depression. A relative of mine will sometimes get relief, however she said other times she gets horrendous panic attack’s.

Anxiety sucksssss

I did some years ago, but it messed my short term memory. After awhile it caused panic attacks because I need and want to remember

I use CBD for pain and it’s effective, I use a THC/CBD mix for stress, tension. I find it helps me sleep as well. THC works for my brain spinning (ADHD and anxiety) but I limit the amt I take as it can bring me down.... I will take it when I’m going out in the car to go do something I like doing so I have a positive event to keep me upbeat.

I have a prescription but it’s now legal here so prescription not necessary it just costs more at the legal retail store vs. Medicinal store that requires a prescription.

I think it’s all about the person, for me it helps

My friend says I shouldn’t use anything mind altering

Tried it once to see if it helped my anxiety....short answer-it didn't.

smoked it for years then it stopped having the desired effect and that was about the time I quit.one night I met a guy and he gave me some skunk I kept it for weeks and rolled it into one smoked it and it was the most paranoid I had ever been.i knew then I would never go back.
