Hi...

I have my medical marijuana license and in the process of trying different strains. I will say the mornings and evenings are when my anxiety and racings thoughts are at it's worst so I'm giving this option a try. So far, I'm calmer have less affect by the symptoms that are associated (sweaty palms, flushed face and excessive perspiration).

Feel free to keep in touch as I'm curious if you find some relief from medical marijuana.

It has helped me immensely! It lowers my anxiety and keeps my mind in the here and now instead of ruminating on destructive thoughts.

It helps me so much with PTSD too. Have you used marijuana before? Or would this be your first experience with it?

It might be helpful to start with CBD and work your way up to THC and see which one you like better.

From what I’ve heard from a few friends, it seems that when they are actively “high” they feel great and anxiety fears are gone but when they are “sober” yet still having the drug in their system, it heightened their anxiety more than if they didn’t partake at all. I also heard from another friend that they saw on the news an interview with a dr in a Colorado ER that mentioned that the number of people admitted with panic attacks and mental illness skyrocketed since they legalized but again, these are things I heard from people who are not health care professionals and I didn’t research further so take it with a grain of salt.. but it’s something to consider

I started taking cbd oil at bedtime to help fall asleep as anxiety was keeping me up and causing body twitches. It has definitely helped me relax so I can fall asleep much quicker 😊 my therapist actually suggested this as an alternative to medications
