Considering Marijuana for Anxiety: Recommendations?

I think im going to take the marijuana route for my anxiety. Ive smoked before but not heavily. I was mostly a social smoker and never really cared for it. Does anyone have any recommendations on what i should start with?

Download Leafly! Its a great app that can help you research certain strains and even local dispensary, i would start with figuring out which you like more between Sativa, Indica or a Hybrid, then figure out if its smoking or edibles or caping, or concentrate that you wanna use to get the feeling you want to achieve...i use this daily between smoking and edibles if you want to message me for more go right ahead!

Personally, marijuana makesy anxiety worse. I get panic attacks if I have too much THC. On the other hand, I have found some premium hemp online from Funky Farms. My favorite cartridge is the CRD CBD Pineapple Express. It's got 600mg CBD and the rest is all terpenes. Never had a better experience with CBD. My second favorite is the 1500mg CBD "Natural" tincture available from 3chi online.

Also be careful because clinical studies have shown that pot can increase anxiety for severe cases. Just throwing it out there, devil's advocate. Sometimes it does spike my anxiety also- other times it does relieve

Trust me this isnt going to be an everyday thing. Gaming helps me the most but there are days when i just dont have time for it. I dont plan on relying on the marijuana.

I would recommend sticking to indica strains... they have a more calming effect. Sativas can actually raise your heart rate and tend to cause paranoia

👍keep you satavias around 14 to 17 % thc with having anxiety. I would get flipped out till a friend suggested looking at lower thc. I have since moved on to indicia/leaning hybrids higher thc, but quiet my mind, purple punch, was a good intro, white fire og or wedding cake for day to day right now, get my work done, dont get wigged out and can enjoy the high.

try a delta 8, they're a lot less intense and mess with my anxiety less than I guess what would be the standard type which is delta 9
