Smoking weed in amsterdam

[Digydoda]

Hi, I need some advice.. will my anxiety go worse if I smoke weed in Amsterdam?

[Sillysausage234]

If your not used to smoking it ,maybe end up worse .

Thank you for your reply, I decided it's best I don't touch it

The answer is.....possibly. You also need to be sure what it is that you're exactly smoking. Skunk is often indistinguishable from normal buds and contains much higher THC levels. Not something I would recommend to anyone, let alone someone suffering from anxiety. High THC can cause myriad problems, such as hallucinations and even psychosis (I counsel young people on drugs, so have some experience). Sometimes resin can also be cut with other substances - it really is a minefield.

if your going to have a smoke just be careful the names are appealing but the affects might not be.ive been twice and the first time was ok but the second I went on my own and I was really paranoid the whole time.just be mindful of what your taking and don't get carried away.

If you smoke it in the US and are caught, could be a great deal worse legal wise; if you have no idea the actual type and not used to smoking, anything that is a drug can change your body chemistry. Why are you asking about Amsterdam?

[Jeff1943 in reply to HearYou]

It's because the Dutch have made cannabis legal and many people go to Amsterdam to smoke dope. The Dutch are beginning to regret legalising it due to its impact on mental health.

Jeff,

Thought it was probably because a trip was planned for Amsterdam....well, then I thought, hold off, maybe there is actually something else going on....

[Jeff1943]

There have been several people on this forum who claim their anxiety disorder was triggered by smoking cannabis. A couple have claimed they only smoked it once for this to happen.

If you go to Amsterdam and smoke some dope and experience high anxiety for an extended period afterwards it means that your tolerance to cannabis is low.

Do not do it!!!

[Crystal81]

Yes definitely

[carolyn982]

I strongly recommend that you do not do it!!!

[Hidden]

Yes, don't go into the deep end without the right frame of mind.

[Cibolagirl]

I wouldn't. Anxiety is usually not one of the qualifying disorders or diseases to get your med marijuana card because it CAN exacerbate it. I can smoke if Im also drinking champagne or wine but then I go right to sleep. I have great results with a 50% THC 50% CBD chocolate for sleep. AND I only "do" weed at home and KNOW what I'm getting!
