Actually, try not to take higher doses, sometimes it takes some experimenting to understand and feel the effect of cannabis 🙌

I feel awkward asking for it and been Binoid Delta 8 online instead.

It works sometimes

I love cannabis. I'm a canna mom and it has helped me for years.

I have Crohn’s disease for more than 10 years.. I believe in the conventional therapy because it helps me a lot but sometimes when the pain is worsen I take cannabis oil. It calms my stomach but I can’t concentrate after using this oil because it contains THC too. There are also oils without THC but they didn’t work on my stomach pain. I always suggest trying controlled stuff that can help with pain 🙏🏼

Definitely start slow and I recommend indica strains or indica dominant hybrid strains :)

I find sativa works best for me just because of my depression but my favorite is hybrid sativa dominant

Absolutely i fully recommend it! Medically as well. I just got my mmj card. I feel 100 times better still ache still nausea but i can function. If you dont want to smoke there is tincture patches creams gummies pills! Theres a lot

I tried vaping CBD because I was told it might help with my insomnia. It helped for a while but it made me too lazy and groggy in the mornings so I decide it's best to stop.

Cannibas Oil from.Amazon. not used lately

I take cannabis oil and it really improves my sleep. For my chronic pain it helps much less than the opioids, but I prefer it over the risk of addiction.

I tried cannabis oil several times for severe abdominal pain attacks .. Although there was significant relief in the abdominal pain, I went into terrible anxiety and depression! I consulted my doctor, and he explained that if someone has a disposition for depressive disorder, using cannabis can aggravate depression.

In the last year, I have started using medical cannabis to relieve the chronic pain I am suffering from. For me, it's a wonder drug! Significant pain relief and far more effective than other painkillers I have tried over the years

I have in several different occasions, I have scoliosis in my back (spine not straight) and arthritis in my knees,hips, jaw joints and right hand, I have tried several different strains between indica and stevia and it worsens my pain 10 fold. My mom and her boyfriend smoke it every day several times a day but I stay away from it.

Edibles, 1:1 indica actually helps me relax a lot at night. You can also just take little bits of it to get use to it.

Inhalation types knock me on my butt but the edibles help me a lot I just have to microdose. Helps me with pain, anxiety, depression, and surprisingly enough my eating disorder.

Be careful with edibles! I had a horrible experience with it just once! Different for everyone but for me nope never ever again

Very calming for me but be aware that it could make anxiety worse

I used it to help my anxiety and ptsd worked wonders! However me being 26 weeks pregnant its not an option and i did go through withdrawl symptoms for three weeks after dropping it. So be careful.

Start slow and find what works for you. If you smoke it, experiment with ways to smoke it. If you want to try edibles make sure to start with low low doses. Only try dabs after experimenting with the others.

It helps me loads! Especially when I'm trying to sleep but can't and wind up staying awake with my thoughts. I would just use it sparingly if I were you, because you don't wanna just do it every time your hands need something to do (in which case cbd cigarettes are a fantastic replacement)

It doesn't help the pain but it does make me not care that I am in pain.

High CBD blends help a lot. Thc is psychoactive. Cbd is mainly the body high experience. Mix them together and they make you feel more comfortable, mentally and physically. Probably 2:1 CBD/THC mixture is good. I started on it. Pain is is usually worse at night for me, so it’s convenient too.

Anyone scared to jump into cannabis? Try the PG-13 version! Its called delta 8 THC, it has less side effects than the real stuff and keeps you high functioning, while still offering pain relief, stress relief, and anxiety help. Not recommend for kids!

I’ve been smoking cannabis since I was very young and it has helped with my insomnia, anxiety, eating disorders, and my appetite issues. I don’t have a dependency but I’m very careful and pay attention to the mgs of thc and cbd

Yes, you can feel the love with each puff. Fighting chronic pain and fatigue 🙂 I ♥️ it, gotten me through some pretty tough times, always dependable

it’s absolutely amazing as long as you’re in a place you feel comfortable in if you’re smoking a lot. it’s easy to get uncomfortable when you’re really high in an unfamiliar place but other than that it always helps me cope. i’d recommend sativa if you’re depressed / unmotivated. it gives me a lot of energy and makes me really happy and giggly

If you dissociate at all DO NOT USE CANANBIS

Cannabis depending what your talking about edibles or smoking... Sometimes both will cause anxiety I smoked 2 bowls and hit a few rips of the bong and I started getting anxiety really bad so my limit is usually 3 hits. Edibles gotta start slow take a little it will hit in a hour or so but don't over due it because you will be messed up lol Smoking start off slow I usually smoke but off 3 hits I'm blown. Also if you wanna feel energetic use sativa and if you just wanna be lazy use indica I love both just depends on what I feel that day.

Cannabis has taken over for my migraine, anxiety and depression meds. I only take thyroid medication. It has helped me in so many ways!

Cannabis, (and Delta 8) has been the only pain reliever that works since I stopped being allowed to take nsaids due to my stomach. I couldn't function without it. It even substitutes for my zofran when my tolerance for the zofran gets too high. My tolerance for cannabis is to a point now where I don't really get high anymore, but it still works as a pain reliever. Just be careful to only use as much as you need because tolerance breaks when it's your pain medication SUCK. Lol

Cannabis helps a lot with my pain. I don't get "high" I simply go into the mode of "pain tolerable" which is helpful.

I have used cannabis for 5 years to manage various conditions. I’d highly recommend indica strains, but everyone is different. In my experience using edibles helps more with pain but vaporizing it helps more with anxiety.

I saw where someone said Delta 8 with THC is legal.. I've never heard of it.. My pain management doctor said I would need to get with a neurologist in order to take synthetic pot for the several issues I have. Where could I get Delta 8?

me personally it makes my anxiety worse with even the smallest amount. but everyone is different

Hello! Love this conversation! Got my medical card a little over a year ago and this is what I think. I love it! I started off slow, tried lots of different things. Love my edibles. There are no cons but the pros would be that I sleep better, muscles relax before bed and it just helps me forget that I’m suffering from 3 chronic illnesses. Static’s is great to get chatty, then sleep after a long day. Good for weekends too. Indica is straight to bed for me. Hybrid gives you that perfect. Lotions are amazing.

Use it, it's great medicine and also helps with appetite

it depends on dosage, pre-existing conditions and even your genetics! start w a micro-dose and gradually find what’s best for you. definitely recommend trying it at least once. it does wonders for my joint pain

I've had an autoimmune condition (Rheumatoid Arthritis) for 27 years. For 23 years I was on steroids. Very addictive. Could never cut it off. Until I discovered the strong anti-inflammatory qualities cannabinoids have. I ended up formulating my own oil, and now, I'm celebrating four years without steroids. My success inspired me to found Reclaim Labs. You are welcome to read my story here: https://www.reclaimlabs.com/pages/beating-arthritis

I did back when I was younger and i wish I could again, but my advice is to start slow and do what is more comfortable for you. For me it's edibles because I have asthma.

its an amazing herbal treatment! I don't like to smoke cause of trauma with fire but edibles are even better I've found! it's an easier, better and predictable high too! you know almost exactly how much you're putting in you, not counting homemade ones, I either get zooted, stoned or both. it's kinda like a 30% thing but each time it's usually what I need in the moment. do be careful of what strain and what not you use though, everyone reacts differently, for me I perfer Indica but distrust Sativa cause of how fast my heart goes goes while I'm high. I often found myself unable to sleep after taking it cause my heart would beat so hard I couldn't sleep no matter how hard I tried. it takes time to find what works for you just like any other medicine.

Research how your chronic illness or disorders will respond and all the different methods of consumption of THC and the different forms of CBD. Eat it smoke it apply it whichever works, but one method might not so it may take time to sort it out. Look for risk factors for negative experiences like diagnosis or family history of certain psychotic disorders. Learn how itll affect your body not just mind. It can be soooo useful to a lot of people but not everyone will have a good reaction so go slow and try one thing at a time.

Start small and in a safe environment with no obligations! It’s been incredibly helpful for me, but we have very hard rules in our household about not leaving the house while using it or operating any hot tools, even if we feel capable. There is nothing worse than taking some, assuming it was too low a dose, and then getting slammed with it while out and about

I used it for pain management after top surgery and for nausea day to day. It worked wonderfully, i only took two pain pills out of the 7-14 i was meant to. (Dont remember exactly) During the peak of my depression and abusive relationship, it egged on a psychotic break. I havent had any issued with psychosis since then and i still use it on the same dose, maybe higher. Ive also been reading that it may make nausea worse in the long term, ive been using it for that for about 5 years, and it hasnt made it any worse yet. Although it’s difficult to get high at all, its more for normalcy, which is very detrimental to some people but the culture i live in makes it easy. Best thing it did for me was allowing me to skip opiates after surgery.

I could not recommend it less. It made me feel sick and itchy and it stunk to high hell. To this day I cannot stand being near it and I've cut off some people who use it

it can either heighten or reduce anxiety, so it’s kinda a 50/50. start slow or with CBD or delta-8. stay safe ❤️

I loooove cannabis. It helps me with my anxiety (that is often times fully debilitating). Although earlier this year I did get cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome and that was a truly awful experience. At the time I had been very into dabs and oils and concentrates and was using some sketchy ones, so I blame it on that. I have addiction problems, so it is hard for me with that, and I built my tolerance back up super fast. I end up smoking 6-10 joints a day, and I know that’s probably not helpful.

So far thats the only thing that works for us the only issue with it is that it makes the diabetes go worse so the dr says no

But it fixes our anxiety slows the switching helps the adhd helps with the flashbacks of cptsd helps everything except the diabetes

i use a vape oil, usually of delta 8 because it has less psychotic affects, so i don’t get too high mentally, moreso just get good physical affects. i only do it on my really bad days, once or twice a week, and don’t do too much. it really helps with my chronic pain. only thing is it can cause a little tachycardia if you have any issues with that!

It’s been really helpful towards anxiety attacks for me

It made me super paranoid and increased my anxiety. Unfortunately it does that to some people. It just ain't for me.

The good stuff helps my anxiety. Regular makes it worse and I feel paranoid.

I’ll admit it helps me sleep. I get sciatic pain that can even wake me up!

I smoke weed all day every day and it has helped me a lot with my depression I more happier now then I was before I don’t think of killing my self anymore or cutting my self either

Yes and I’m with that dude that said to try indica first because sometimes sativa strain makes people have anxiety attacks like if I have been smoking indicas for a while now and I switch to a sativa I have to only take 3 hits cause if I do more I know I will have an anxiety attack and also don’t forget to inhale lol

definitely be careful! do research on strains for what you’re using it for and try to use legally if possible! it can cause dependency which can end up causing more problems so i would suggest talking to your doctor or doing research online!!

Yes it really does help cope and get you out of your head finally

Ya i definitely agree with them^ I know i get more anxious when i use too much so just start slow. Also cbd is a great alternative since it doesn’t actually get u high

My use of cannabis differs greatly depending on the day I have planned, if I have things planned for morning/ early afternoon, I’ll usually have a hit or two from my pen (I use mainly indices and indica leaning hybrids) and go about my day. Maybe having a couple of hits every 1/1.5ish hours to keep my pain, anxiety, tic levels down. If I’m off of work I’ll do a heavy smoke and make a nice breakfast (my meds make me not hungry so weed helps with that). Lightly using my pen throughout the day, or taking a lower dose edible for when I just am at home doing chores. The pain relief helps me take longer walks with my doggo 🥺

Every day

Yes 3 puffs in the morning and 3 puffs before bedtime

I use. Thc-o distillate helps with everything take tiny amount it kicks in in about 2 hours fully. I will provide a link below https://cannaclear.com/product/thc-o-distillate/

Love it! Been an active smoker for decades but have medical issues and pharmacy drugs have given me neuropathy, which is no fun. Don't do sativa often as I'm hyper but indica...oh yea. Helps with appetite, nausea, anxiety, sleeping, relaxing and to some extent pain. Edibles don't work on me and thankfully so as they're terrible on your liver.

DONT TAKE EDIBLES WITHOUT AN EXISTING TOLERANCE. The one time I did ruined my life up till now. The difference is that with smoking you can control the amount gradually, whereas with edibles it hits all at once and it’s delayed so you’re tempted to take more- or the dose was too much and you won’t know until you zonk out. However- if it does happen- no matter how bad the panic attack is- don’t let yourself get too caught up in it. You CANNOT die. Have confidence in that knowledge and yourself. Sleep it off. The next day, let yourself heal. If I had just let the experience go I would probably have avoided multiple issues stemming from it.

Start with low does. Actually start with something that is 2:1 cbd to thc ratio if you are in a place where it is legal. Marijuana can make some people more anxious. It does to me sometimes. I have found if I stick to low does ( 13 to 16% thc) and use indica and stay away from sativa I'm mostly good. I use that when I can be high and for sleep ( and yes it is very fun). I only take a hit or 2 at a time. Pay attention to the strains you like and if a strain makes you anxious just dont use that one anymore. The verity of effects from strain to strains is huge. The 2:1 cbd to thc stuff you can use wherever you want cbd counteracts the effects of thc it will not get you high or make you anxious. I had quit smoking marijuana for 10 years and now it is what works the best for my anxiety besides meditation and yoga.

I am a regular user of flower, dab and edibles. DO NOT START WITH DAB OR EDIBLES. Start slow with flower and go from there, the first time I ever took a dab I felt like I was dying.🥴 It took my breath away and I felt like I couldn't breathe/catch my breath. I have started to ease up because I have been extremely anxious, here lately it has really caused me to have panic attacks which is very unusual. I think it has to do with the type of weed we got this time. Sometimes that happens though. Something that I found that helps me way more than weed is micro dosing shrooms, I literally have never been so happy and carefree in my life than while micro dosing.🥰 There are these one up mushroom chocolate bars and they are absolutely heavenly tasting.😋 My guy hasn't had them in a while! I wish he'd get more but told me it would take a while😕 It is worth looking into, they're amazing, but again take it slow! You're not really looking to trip so you want to be careful.💕

It has helped with a lot of my mental health issues. And my pains. But its negatively affecting my weightloss journey. Because the munchies are real and when high I cant control myself. So im stuck in the middle

I smoke everyday, it keeps me from overusing my brain with intrusive thoughts and emotions. I would recommend mixing your weed with lavender and mullein or other calming herbs. adds and extra level of peace. also start off smoking only once daily and do it in increments so you know where your body can handle, your tolerance will grow as you use it more, but you can take a 1 day break for a small reset.

We have medical marijuana pharmacies here in Louisiana.. I just do a low-dose edible gummy .. works great!

The state of Idaho says no. If it becomes legal I would like to use it to calm down my night time anxiety and sleep.

I take it with my prescribed propranolol to keep my heart rate from increasing too much and making my anxiety worse

🤗lol...this post got 10 times the comments of any other post on this entire site!!🤣

Sadly I have to smoke a high strain to feel the body high(pain relief level) and it makes you very head high also so be somewhere where you can enjoy it you'll need a strong indica

I smoke an indica flower at night. I work with the elderly inhome so being stoned during the day isn't an option. But if the pain gets 2 bad I did purchase a Ratio cart for the vape. It has CBD and THC. CBD when taken w THC cancels out that high feeling. The despensory told me if u still feel 2 high take more CBD. It has helped me so much in my life.

I've been smoking for 30 yrs now and have a pretty high tolerance. I used to smoke to achieve a "high", but now it's for medical reasons. I smoke for pain, nausea, depression, anxiety, agitation and calming mania. Cannabis is just like any other med, we all have different chemistry and will get different effects. You have to find out what works for you. Thankfully for some people, there are lots of options out there. For those without those legal options in there state, be careful.

I feel no exaggeration in saying cannabis saved my life. More than once. The first time was during an intense low (the ‘threshold’) and I remember thinking I didn’t know anyone who killed themselves when they were high on weed, so I gave it a try and it brought me back from the edge. Again, more than once. Few years ago I developed functional neurological problems from too much stress, so I also started using it to keep my stress levels down, which cut down on the neuro problems but I also realized it could stop my anxiety attacks! Seriously cannabis helps bring me back to myself so I have the energy and mental perspective to work on my treatment.

My success with cannabis led me to spend the last couple years doing more study on it as medical treatment and I’m happy to talk more with anyone about it. When using cannabis medicinally it is very important to know a) what type of cannabis you need for your symptoms, and b) what is the best way to for you to administer it (topical, edible, sublingual, or smoking). For example, during an anxiety attack, I need an indica heavy strain because indica types are more calming, and I need to administer it through smoking because that is the fastest relief. But my depressive episodes affect my concentration so sometimes I need a sativa heavy strain because they can be more mentally stimulating. It’s incredibly easy to miss out in the benefits of cannabis cuz people don’t often know what they need

Yes....NO SHAME! 8yrs! For me edibles are easier. But in doses...hard candy lozenges are great. I once are a whole Rice Krispy bar and got sick! Smoking I don't really feel it. For me it's just a old smoker habit(if that makes sense)I don't get the euphoric high most get. It has helped my stomach pain and nausea. It's also helped my lower back/spine & joint pain.

I take medical marijuana in gummy form. I've never smoked anything and tried to smoke or vape weed, but just can't do it. So I use the gummies for pain and sleep. It's frustrating sometimes because it doesn't always work. Even when labeled as same milligrams, some work better than others. My daughter also has FM, but is able to take opiates, which I am allergic to.

Never will cause it's a drug.

I’ve been Smoking since 2016. I prefer a bong or blunt hit. I dislike my pipe which is harsh tbh.

Start off small! It can take up like 3 hours to take effect in someone people. Trying to rush the high or the chill can cause discomfort, paranoia, and an overall feeling of being unwell. I have no studies just personal experience!

Cannabis gives me at least some pain relief and also helps with my daily nausea and barf issue. I take Letrozole and I feel nauseous so much that I micro dose cannabis to help with that. The chronic pain makes it tough to just do daily life . So I swear by it. And wish I had done it much sooner than I did. I have a pen that I carry for when I suddenly get barf and edibles are great for pain. But go east in edibles cause they are much different than smoking cannabis. Too much renders the day useless. You got find what works best for you. I prefer sativa or hybrid over indica. Which usually knocks me out.

Right now I only take a gummy cannabis to help with insomnia. I don't like to smoke it. I think I could use more during the day for pain, but it mostly just makes me wanna sleep.

I used to be a stoner in my mid teens. I did best on sour diesel, and loved it. Now that I'm a little older, anytime I've tried it, I get really bad paranoia and panic attacks. I will cry and loose memory. I stay away from it now.

I love smoking! I just smoke for the buzz, not to get high most of the time. I have a card so I go to the dispensary and talk to the workers there (they’ll tell you all about the likelihood one strain will effect you this way or not). I smoke like my grandma drinks wine :) just a little bit to wind down for the night. I haven’t gained much of a tolerance at all since I go super easy, plus I’m not losing the hella-highs cuz I don’t like to smoke that much ❤️

Yes be VERY CAREFUL! Avoid the marijuana cigarettes, that’s a problem. Try CBD there’s less THC which is what gets people high. The only time you may want to try that is if you’re not working. Always consult your physician before doing it as well. Also stick to the recommended dose.

I love cannabis. It's one of the only things that has helped me cope. But lately I have developed a high tolerance. Not fun at all. And not cheap at all. Start slow and don't do stuff with super high THC percentages. That was my mistake. I wouldn't do anything under 30% (for no real reason) and am now paying for it... It can be a life saver though...

Yeah start small because I know I didn't and I was puking because I smoked way to much

I recommend having a sober, experienced, "buddy" your first time or two.

Def start small. Ask the budtenders at dispensarys for advice. They'll hopefully help you figure out what strains to try. I've been on it 3 years and it's made a world of difference.

It helps me see myself from another perspective. You gotta open your mind and let it take you through yourself, it can open your eyes if you respect it

I would start with CBD first before going the THC route. My son got highly addicted to cannabis, even though many say its not addictive, and it ruined his life. Now I am watching him slowly trying to rebuild his life again. I did try it once to see what all the hype was about and it not only made my pain and anxiety worse, it made me feel horrible for days. Just take it slow and be careful, taking into consideration all your doctor's recommendations on doseage.

To give you tips i wish id been told when i first got high (what a doozy it was) im also assuming youre talking about smoking 1. Take one or two hits at first and wait a few seconds. If you dont feel anything, you didnt inhale right. Keep your lips almost and breath through them regularly, dont suck like it's a straw and dont hold the smoke in your mouth/swallow it. 2. GO SLOW WITH THE HITS. have a hit, savor it, let it out, have a few breaths of oxygen and then have another hit. You'll be able to stop before you get too high, it lets the joint last longer, and you'll feel the effects more evenly. 3. Lay down and have some water nearby. First seven times i got high it felt like the world was pulling me down. When i laid down my legs spasmed pretty intensely for the duration of the high while i was completely blissed out. It sounds scary but it really wasnt, i could still move and walk. If youre gonna be having an edible id say make sure you get from a reputable dispensery. Every edible ive had has been very bad, doesnt do anything despite me having more than the recommended amount. If youre using oils and butters for your skin dont be afraid to use a little more than recommended.

I have recently started with the delta 8 gummies. I love the suckers. I usually have a 25 mg during the day and a 50 mg at night. Really helps my sleep and does wonders for my anxiety. I also enjoy the 60 mg gummies. It's best to start with low ones because the first one I had was 100 mg and it knocked me out. From what I understand Delta 8 is legal in ga because it is made from hemp. That's where you get the THC from

Do not go in without a good nights rest, I trip the fuck out every time that I dont sleep for 6+ hours before getting high.

Do it alittle bit after eating an drinking plenty of water, make sure your in a comfy environment, and if you aren't use to taking cannabis start real small. Dark chocolate can help mellow out the high if need be, and just relax 😌

The first few times have an experienced user with you to help. Also, the people behind the counter at pot shops can provide a wealth of information and guidance.

Definitely play around with small doses and different kinds. Smoking flower, using concentrate, and taking edibles all work differently so you will realize that doses are not universal between forms

Its also good to have a talk with a dispensary if there is one around because they have people that you can talk to and ask for advice for your problem

Have you tried CBD? Works great for anxiety, pain and sleep.

Best medicine I've ever had. Definitely start small and work your way up. There's tons of strains that can help a multitude of diagnosis.

I am not anti cannabis but it's not for me. I loved it as a teen, but I've found as an adult with multiple health issues and chronic pain, though it does calm me & help me relax, it also intensifies my pain. I feel every ache separately & intensely which causes me to focus on it even more. I do want to stress, if you're going to try it, only get it from a dispensary. Marijuana isn't as safe as it was when I smoked in the 90's. Even if you know the person you're getting it from, unless they harvest their own, you don't know their supplier or what it may contain. Many street suppliers are lacing it with fentynal and many ppl are dying. Idk how many times I've said I'm glad I don't still use drugs cuz it's getting scary these days. I wish you good luck and hope you find it works for you!

Cannabis is AMAZING, ❤️❤️❤️❤️, I smoke it, all my worries go away, story of mine: I had a "therapy" session with my Kitty (I talked she listened) and I feel SO much better.

Also, if you know your buddy is getting it from a dispensary, or is medical grade, it is 9 times out if 10 good stuff.

If you have to work, use a higher concentration of CBD and a lower one of THC. For me, I can't think if I take too much THC, and what works best is nothing higher than 5 to 1 (5 parts CBD to 1 part THC). You need some THC for the CBD to work well. When you are off work, you can change to a higher concentration of THC to fight the pain.

I found what works for me and it is amazing! But it's all about finding what strain and dosage works for you! But when you do ughh it's been weeks since an episode

Yes all it did was make me sleep and get trapped in my head. It sucks in my opinion

About 7 years Pro Green, It's great but expensive and addictive. It helps with my mood pill to give me a sense of calm when my anxiety is flaring. Appetite and anxiety normally go hand in hand for me. I'm less reactive when I'm smoking and can focus better. We do burn through bags kinda fast though.

I have never tried it, but my best friend has tried it.

Yes. Thc. Rick Simpson oil and other alternative medicine only way I get functional quality of life. From personal experience start slow and find what strains work best. I find for me ingesting thc/cbd together best. Also adding cbd cuts down on the anxiety for me when I rso

I was doing a CBD pen , flower, and dabs to keep my mood stable from a meltdown or crying spell on my birthday. It's more of a situational thing.

It has helped me with chronic pain, sleep, and anxiety. The best tip I have is to start with a small amount, especially if you are trying edibles. You can always take more but if you take too much you just have to ride it out.

Start with a one hitter to see how you react to different strains. It has seriously helped with my pelvic pain and muscle spasms.

So I find it helpful to practice my coping skills and self-confidence while using cannabis but I've learned from my own experience that's important to practice those skills also sober still and tolerance breaks are really important

Trying it now, try it every day, wake up, pack the bowl, try it again

It works amazing!! Just take it easy.

Yes, start with micro dosing. Which essentially means start small, then work your way up. I eat edibles which usually I always start small, like Alice in wonderland. I take a nibble then wait then take another nibble till I'm feeling good. Also remember there is Cbd which contains no Thc( that part of weed that gets you high) cbd just is there for the pain and to help relax you. 🦄

I need to smoke a whole tree at this point 🙏

I have tried it twice. Once for depression and once for anxiety. Both times it helped for a while then flipped and wound up making it worse. The last time it triggered a panic attack that landed me in the ER. Not to say it doesn’t work my brother uses it for his anxiety and depression and it seems to work great. So I guess what I’m saying is take it slow listen to your body, and it helps to have a buddy to keep an eye on you the first couple times 🌻

Yes! I have found it helps with relaxing muscles and sleep. :)

Gives me anxiety and it cost to much money for some cannabis. Rather take my 15$ anxiety meds. :)

Also I say it's a gateway drug . Lots of people who smoke weed I know for a fact has thought about doing other drugs too. Its common so again why I don't recommend it but that's my opinion.

It helps a lot, i suggest edibles. One alone should do if you never had it before. Indica will make you tired and Sativa will make you more awake and needy for somethin to do. Cbd is good for anxiety and physical pain, THC is good for recreational or just a break from your head :))

Several times! But I can't hang. I even had a Marijuana card and rarely used it Just not for me. But not against anyone who enjoys it for pain depression or pleasure 🙂

Thx😥😥😥😥🙏🙏🙏

❤️❤️❤️

I'd say the same thing. Super helpful but not a real big hype after. Start off small, if ur taking an eatable so not take on an empty stomach and wait for hr or 2 before part taking more.

I use it for pain management with great success. Definitely start slow. If you can get a medical card then try the tinctures and tablets first.

Research all methods of consumption, onset times, strengths, %, and make sure you get it from someone/somewhere reliable. I work for a corporate medical cannabis company if you have any questions that come up.

Edibles always hit you way harder than smoking it, plus they take 40ish minutes to kick in where smoking it is 10-15mins. So be aware that a 20% THC edible is not equal to a 20% THC flower.

It’s saving my life!!!!!!!

I just recently started using cannabis in a medical sense and I have a couple different ones. I have for pain management and for sleep and anxiety. And it's really different on what you take. Edibles have a different feel that smoking does and edibles once it kicks in its already going strong so I like smoking because I can control how much I take and I feel like it wears off a bit quicker so I can still do everyday functioning without feeling too high. But then I also have once that makes me sleepy (also helps with anxiety) and it kind of makes your brain feel like soft and quiet and gives you a calm tired feeling. While the other one I have for pain and anxiety/depression give me more of a head high it feels a little stuffy and fuzzy (but in a good way?) And I can still be active and paying attention to things and I also feel lighter and happier like my body feels relaxed.

While there can be a mental addiction component to cannabis Or any drug or anything for that matter. In my personal experience I found it to be extremely helpful for PTSD ,anxiety, depression, Inflammation. The withdrawal from it will not kill you like alcohol will. However it can be expensive I no longer use the Flower but the concentrated oil since I have been using since I was 13 years old and I'm 39 now. It's not for everyone. The state that I live in just made it legal we're waiting now for stores to open up that will be providing the services. I look forward to this as I know they will have many different kinds and there will be a standard to the quality As well as packaging rules and Regulations.

Know your strain...Indica will give you more of a body buzz and is good for pain and sleep. Sativa is more of a head buzz and is good for creativity, depression and anxiety. Hybrids are a cross strain. Today, you can really target your needs by choosing specific strain crosses. Start slow, remember smoking and edibles have different absorption methods and length of time until you feel effects. Keep an eye on dosage when eating edibles because a tiny thing can pack a punch. Combine with yoga breathing and mindfulness to pay attention to how you feel physically and mentally before, during, and after. Enjoy!

👍it helps me with pain alot.

I am convinced that part of the emergence of depression sometimes comes from the realization that you are not mentally or emotionally stable and may need to be "one of those people who need to be medicated". That's depressing;P

And so after all this discussion I realize it's time for my mid-day dose. 3bats of sativa>indica hybrid. 🌳👍

have a good mindset

It definitely knocks the edge off

tip from a hippie: "You can always do more but you can never do less"

I have used cannabis/Marijuana now for a few yrs now...it helps with most of my health problems...thou I still use pharmaceutical drugs too

I smoked 6 joints my first time smoking and I have yet to be able to get that high again

definitely as others have said take it slow, and know that over time, your tolerance will change. i don't get "high" anymore, it really just medicates me, no matter how much i ingest

I smoke all the time to help with my aches. I use the pen and my favorite atm is called unicorn p*ss. It doesn't give me personally an extreme high. Just a light little bump up. I also have a high tolerance though so take it small at a time and everyone reacts different, but being new to it most likely you are just gonna pass out after smoking.

I take edibles but I've used cannabis bud before. Start of with a few hits. Depending on how strong the weed is you can end up geeking out but it feels amazing. It helps with withdrawal symptoms as well as pain, anxiety.

I work at a dispensery please feel free to reach out if you have any questions

Everyday cannabis smoker it helps me relax and helps me with my back and knee pain

I do edibles

I started smoking weed for insomnia then developed chronic pain. I am dependent on it now, my biggest advise is to NEVER wake and bake (smoke first thing in the morning) While it’s nice, it was what caused me to start smoking more and more. I use cartridges because it doesnt involve any set up and it is effective

I take half of a weed gummy a day and it helps with my mental health so much. I’ve never felt relief before even on tons of meds before until a few days ago. Also gummy doesn’t give you munchies or any bad affects like smoking does.

Dont take too much at a time you'll get a headache and feel sick. Just go easy until your high and the pains and headaches go away personally I use weed to go to sleep and to study. It relaxes my mind and it helps with anxiety too.

It has been the best thing to help me. I love it

I felt like I was floating and I’m a dream but when I took too much I panicked like crazy

Yes, medicinally. Tips?

Get a doctor's advice before u do that

Start with very low amounts. I'd recommend starting with edibles especially if you have any mental health conditions because smoking can cause anxiety (it won't always though) just be safe and make sure to have someone with you while you're starting out

i take low dose edibles with high amounts of CBD, it’s helped with sleep, adhd, and my anxiety

Take very low doses if you are new or if you don’t necessarily want to get high

Start small

My advice is be careful thc overdose is a real thing and it can cause heightened anxiety and depression as well as paranoia, headaches and neasua

On the chronic back pain, make sure that it isn’t a kidney problem.

There’s a lot of cannabis products, but don’t just grab them from the drugstore. Look around for people who made sure that they had a decent product. Make sure you get something with low THC unless you want that. THC is a chemical that can cause intoxicating affects. Make sure you get a pure product as well.

Definitely don't go into using any drug, prescription or otherwise, with an expectation of what it will do for you. Cannabis can cause psychosis in some people, so being mindful and aware of how you're feeling is the most important. If you start to feel numb in a way that inhibits processing your emotions, then I personally recommend reducing our even quitting use of it.

Take small doses first like cut half of a edible and let it set for 30 minutes. Don’t take too much where your body can’t handle it and don’t drink alcohol with cannabis. I got sick from doing that and learned my lesson

It's helped me a lot with my anxiety. Take it super easy, and slowly get yourself into it.

I use it with CBD for my anxiety. I live in Massachusetts and it is legal. The dispenser can help you choose the right strain for your particular need.

I use it for depression, anxiety and sensory issues. My main tip is to start with a very low dose, 1-2 hits if you’re smoking, one 3 second hit if you’re vaping. You do NOT want to green out your first time, it’s not fun at all.

There are different kinds. I personally prefer edibles or tinctures bc of my lungs. Also I cannot take sativa as it escalates my anxiety and wires me out where I can't sleep. Indica (indacouch is how I remember it) is much better for pain and anxiety. Edibles takes a little longer to start working. First time users definitely don't eat a whole gummy. I would suggest starting at a 1/4 to 1/2 and waiting 30-45 minutes for it to work. There are some hybrids (indica and sativa mix) that I can take but has to be indica dominant. Need to treat it as medication (that's what it is and intended for) try these at home do not drive and if you have children make sure there is someone with you. As far as addiction goes, it is possible as you can become addicted to anything aka drugs, social media, shopping, the list goes on. Everything in moderation. But I feel cannabis has the least side effects then anything else I've taken for pain, nausea, and anxiety.

I use it when I can't sleep.

it helps sm with my panic attacks! try 5 mg at first if ur new, a little goes a long way haha

Don’t do drugs😂

Medical marijuana definitely helps a lot.

Definitely start with a small dose, especially if you take medications! And go slow, don’t try to take a big dose to look cool or because you don’t think it’s working. The high might creep up on you, so be prepared to change your mental state. And don’t worry, no one’s ever died of a cannabis overdose and the side effects are very minimal. Also, keep snacks/food around because the munchies are so real. Are you gonna be smoking, vaping, taking edibles, using tincture? What method of consumption will you be using, because that will make a big difference on how you should dose.

It helps. If I wanna sleep I get a decent indica. I prefer low dose edibles, the effects last longer than smoking

I had to quit because my daughter had a baby and I am caring for him 24/7. Can’t be high. Any advice for the pain?

Make sure that the dispensary you choose has knowledgeable employees. They should be able to recommend the proper strain for what you need. Being proactive is also a plus. Know your bud.

Yes it helps with pain and panic attack just do a little at a time so you don’t over do it

I used to… but I had to stop sue getting fired from my job after being hospitalized 😥 it is so hard to get it out of your system if you do it consistently. I honestly don’t understand why we still get drug tested for thc when it’s pretty much legal in any state.

I do, not consistently but semi-frequently (a few times a month). I think it's great, and it helps me feel distant from a lot of the pain I feel from my autoimmune disease, but I have also noticed that it can sometimes make the pain feel more acute; the pain is worse, I just don't feel like it's my pain. It's weird. I see that you have anxiety under your diagnoses: be cautious with weed. Too much or too frequently can cause psychosis, and if you are in a poor headspace I'd advise against it. I have schizoaffective disorder and have to be extremely careful.

I’ve been doing it consistently for about three years now

I use edibles when I'm needing a break. They help.

Yes I use Delta 8 and cbd it helps me so much

I did but Bc I have adhd it made me dissociate a lot more. I micro dosed for chronic pain through high school, and i didn’t like they way it made me feel. And didn’t help with pain. I tried a Lot of dif strains

Personally I’ve been smoking since I was 17 and I’m now 25. A little at a time when you first start, and also everyone is different with how they want to consume it, edibles, smoking, pill form. I prefer smoking it because I can control how much I take. Just smoked a cbd joint and it helped the pain I was having in my back.

It works better for me than most things, and i did take an 8 year break lol

Literally allergic to it and I hate when someone drives passed the car and theirs reeks of weed. I have to stop because they decide to bring that on the damn road.

Try using dart pods it like a weed vape basically but you can set the dose yourself so you know how little you want to start with and they come in flavors too so it can taste good and they last at least 3 months if you use it daily and it has 0 smell it will smell on the moment as you puff it out but that it the smell just goes away and it doesn't linger on clothes either it has a lock system too for safety

Start slow, and pay attention to the strains. They do make a difference. There's 3 catagories. Indica, Hybrid, and Sativa.

Cannabis does incredible things for a lot of people BUT it isn't some magical miracle drug and it doesn't work for everyone and that needs to be talked about more. If you want to consider it medicinal you must accept that with medications what works amazing for one person might not work well for another and that's okay. Its worth trying for everyone imo but don't let people make you feel bad if you decide its not for you.

Start small especially if you’re taking edibles. The standard gummy will be a dose of 10 mg but I suggest actually starting with 5mg. Not everyone reacts the way they would expect it too. Some people do get paranoia and anxiety. If you do try being somewhere that you feel safe in. Public smoking and paranoia just don’t mix. If that doesn’t work cannabis may not be for you.

Since cannabis is illegal in many states, I figured I would share my advice. I would recommend CBD products, there's a lot of CBD stores!

I love weed

Go slow

Not too much, and listen to your body, you can't unsmoke so be careful and don't start out alone, Incase you start panicking

I take a 10mg edible about an hour before I want to go to bed because it makes me so sleepy. Taking one is the only time I don’t feel in pain. If I could function on it I would use instead of the plethora of meds I’ve been on in the past.

I do delta-8/thc gummies. It honestly is the one thing that keeps my anxiety in check.

it can very much calm you down but you gotta be careful on doses - too much and you'll be out cold sleeping for hours.

For me, it worsened my pain and anxiety (bc it made my anxiety worse). It made me even less motivated and destroyed any executive function I did have. It also worsened my psychosis or brought it back when it had gone away. It's not like that for everyone I know, and I used it for years with out problems. But tbh even when it didn't cause all those problems, it never helped with my pain.

I am someone who is a regular cannabis consumer so I would love to give you my insight! I have a medical card and I struggle with depression, anxiety, cptsd, insomnia, ocd traits and bipolar. I find that smoking especially at night before bed is helpful. CBD is also great if you do not want the psychoactive effects THC has. CBD is great for pain, anxiety and depression. It gives you more of that relaxed feeling in your body but it does not get you to the point where you are glued to your chair or bed lol. If you have asthma maybe tinctures or edibles would be best! Tinctures are better for medicinal use as the effects hit quicker and it’s a bit stronger, they offer them for both THC and CBD.

It makes me very weirdly paranoid. I have a substance use disorder so I continued to do it anyways 24/7. I think it played a part in me going to mania induced psychosis. It speeds me up.

Yes! Especially Rick Simpson oil seems to calm my tremors and intractable pain, nausea ect ect. Dystonia tremors are hard to calm

Yes indeed everyday but does nothing for my pain just feel more relaxed

hey! i’ve tried it for anxiety and i had a terrible experience. i hated feeling out of control of my body, so rather than helping, using it would trigger some of the most horrible panic attacks and delusions i’ve ever experienced. CBD might be better but i’m terrified to get near it because of my past experiences

It's somewhat helpful but only in the way all my other meds are; I can't feel anxious/depressed/etc if I'm asleep

One gummy a night. :)

Yes and yes!! Depends what you want it for. In the states I love sativas for mind relaxing. You can go to a shop and ask for something giggly or uplifting, or a strain that specifically will not make you paranoid or anxious. Leafly.com is a great resource. I recommend gummies if you don’t want to smoke but there’s a million options. Cbd oil is great for sleep! Everyone does respond differently though- for example a lot of people who smoke for medicinal reasons do it to stop muscle aches, but a few strains I’ve smoked have left my whole body aching while I was high, it’s pretty weird. PBut whatever feels right for you is valid!

I would start with the smallest dosage possible and do research on a good strain. Ideally try it with someone you can trust but if not it’s okay on your own too :)

It really helps me with my ptsd and chronic pain if I take it medicinally. I result to it as my last choice. The strain you smoke matters as well as the edible you consume. I find that a high thc:cbd helps me a lot… but the THC is what really helps me. However, I really try to limit my consumption to once or twice a week on a weekend.

1) anxiety is normal 2) you will become a master of your emotional state if you smoke long term. Was extremely helpful to me as an autistic person

I enjoy it! It's helped me a lot with my mental health journey. It helps me sleep and stay relaxed, especially during terrible nights.

Helps me a lot with sleep, though if you have low blood pressure issues, be careful because it can dilate your blood vessels! But very good for sleep and helping with anxiety and in some cases with tourettes!

I started off with Delta 8 because it's a milder high. Don't smoke too much right away since it can make anxiety worse. Don't smoke and ride a vehicle or be in tons of motion while high

Make sure you are around people you trust and don't take to much make sure to start small also if you take edibles do not take to many because they aren't working fast enough I made that mistake the first time I tried them

I have a medical cannabis prescription from uk. Psychosis is extremely rare amongst cannabis user and the papers will tell you it’s an excel gateway drug. I can tell you after many years of self medicating and now over two years having a legal prescription, I’ve only experienced slight anxiety if my disease when up to quick. I currently prescribed 40g 25% THC Flos, 20% THC Flos, 19% THC Flos, 50mg CBD and 100mg/1ml THC oil for nighttime pain and insomnia.

I use medicinal THC gummies to help me sleep, and some topical creams to help with pains or scars. I support the usage of cannabis, and I especially support small/craft growers. I also respect those who don't use cannabis, regardless of their reasoning, though I may try to educate.

Find an experienced stoner to help you figure stuff out depending on where you are it is harder or difficult, my boyfriend is a stoner and cannabis has been my medication for pain since we started dating now it is literally a miracle drug for me

I love weed

I'm allergic to the flower so I can't smoke it but I do have edibles to help me sleep. I find it helpful but I try not to do it on work nights since I'm a bit sluggish in the morning.

I find it helps me in a variety of ways--from daily energy and depression help to sleep.

CBD and THC have helped me with fibromyalgia and anxiety more than anything else I’ve tried. I used to live in constant fear because I didn’t have access to it legally, but now thanks to the farm bill I can order what I need online (I’m in GA and I order from Extract Labs) and I am so grateful. My main concern now is that I want to have children in the next few years and I’m not sure what can be used during pregnancy 😔

Cartridges are what helps me sleep. A good hybrid will let me enjoy the high for a bit and then pass out but still wear off and wake up on time the next morning.

My partner has a disability called Charcot Maire Tooth. He uses it to slow his head down and to help with the pain. The best thing I can say is to make sure you're in the right mindset. If you're not, it can cause anxiety or paranoia. Xx

I've heard a lot of people say they didn't feel it their first time. Didn't happen to me, but I do hear this from many people.

It helps me get sleepy as fuck, but also h**ny lol
