i don't agree with this article- i use cannabis stem tea and it does wonders for anxiety and sleep- maybe the cannabis they use has a different ratio of cannabinoids- or maybe it's full of pesticide- i don't think there are enough regulations on it to know-

@stickybud what type/strain of cannabis would be helpful for anxiety, without making it worse? thanks

Topic is anxiety/cannabis, Unless you know the strain/farmer, MOST good organic weed will not help with anxiety. Try one puff, wait 15 minutes, you will know. Better than combustion is using organic bud in Volcano. Or organic edibles, but it takes hours to know if it helped with overall anxiety when eating.

Marijuana, TWO kinds of strains, one amps you up, one down. MOST are blends, and I would not recommend for Anxiety, it makes me a little anxious, but also industrious and there is so much work to be done everyday. Also, don't recommend for any jobs/chores that might be hazardous. Anxious : 1. Eliminate Caffeine or reduce by 50%+ 2. EXCERSIZE, ANY, but walk, yoga/stretching, HYDRATE, no processed foods, no artificial sweeteners, raw diet as much as possible, limit meat, never eat out. 3. Some foods are inherently inflammatory, and some foods are inflammatory to certain blood types and ethnicity. If you have a "dis-ease", or rash or other condition, try to eliminate what is causing it, rather then take a medication to counteract it. " Elimination-diets " take MORE time than going to Doctor, but WELL worth the effort. Educate yourself. Dr. Mercola taught me many moons ago to take care of my own health.

The side effects of marijuana use is heightened consciousness, revulsion of participation in war and violence, and a renewed appreciation of nature and the possibility of a utopian world. Marijuana use has long threatened the militaristic status quo.

Any clinically/severely/chronically (pick your adjective) anxious person can absolutely be prone to various degrees of exacerbating their baseline anxiety when consuming cannabis—smoking, edibles, suppositories (lol).

I've been using the stuff regularly for 45 years. Abused it a bit as a teenager and younger 20 something, but for years have used it at night to relax and unwind. Not getting stoned, but one or two hits eases the mind and body. I'm 64, healthy and strong, feel good most days, hardly ever any aches and pains. No psychosis, delusions or any ill effects. I only use flower, don't trust the vape.

Study from AHA 2022 says cannabis smoke and vapour impairs endothelial function. Indulged a lot as a teen. Damage? Stopped usage for university. Microdoser occasionally now. Low THC preferred. Not into anxiety and paranoia. Sublingual may be best. Have a great day!

As soon as i read marijuana ,use rather than hemp,[cannabis] ,i think another ! who don`t know the history of IT,or don`t care.Like-the gov. and jim crow , calling Black And Mexicans the users of[ bad drugs] to scare the White people.And "Stop growing hemp" awile the tree cutters and nylon makers force feed America. Before 1930 time era,PHARMo...people used[cannabis] for many healing and pain relief,but of course a certain amt. used it to get [high] like opium and other natural herbs...The real reason for it all,is MONEY,,sAME AS IT EVER WAS !!!

When "Health Canada" - TURDeau gooberment announced that it would be legalizing marijuana, I knew what the true intent was. I knew that they would take total control of the industry; which is exactly what happened. They began shutting down all of the cannabis stores, throughout Canada, stating that they were illegal and probably weren't "safe". I had a number of stores in the past, where I bought my oils from. They were always of high quality and although expensive - not overly so.

I've had trouble sleeping since I began to suffer with two herniated discs in my lower back, over 50 years ago and this is the only medication that helped me get a decent night's sleep. I only took it before going to bed. Well; now that "Health Canada" has totally taken it over; products are adulterated, of lower quality (if any!), higher priced and of course, most likely all sprayed liberally with the usual pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and insecticides (for our health and safety, of course).

My go-to, for a few years when the real stores were still open, was "Phoenix Tears" (RSO - Rick Simpson Oil). After all the stores closed, I was getting THC oil through an acquaintance; then the guy started to charge more and the supply (availability) wasn't reliable. Anyway; I never had any ill effects from the THC oil. Now that Big Pharma has taken over the industry; it's total and utter garbage - just like every other drug they push! Here is some info on oils and where you can get them in "Canada".

There are some other places; but make sure that the product isn't "approved" by "Health Canada"...in other words - it's their product. The government, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Agri etc., are out to control every aspect of this society - and our lives. This will become very clear within the next couple of years...if humanity even makes it that far! --- kootenaybotanicals.zone -- you can tell if a store is run by H.C..

THC totally makes me paranoid and triggers severe anxiety attacks. Someone once told me, "You shouldn't use it if it gives you anxiety attacks".

I have been smoking MJ sense 1969 with no problems other than a little parinoya out in public which I don't do any more. I quit for about 10 years while raising my girls. After BIG PHARMA pumped their drugs into me, (Zoloft, Trazidone, and Tamasipan, I can no longer sleep or fall asleep. I take valarien, hops, scullcap, gaba, anihystamine and mariuana every night to get to sleep. I used to get 6 hour sleep this way, but it has dropped to only 4 hours sleep. I was put on leneststa and it did not work. I am now on gabapentin and it does not work but does help with mympain and energy. Big Pharma just wants to control our population!!!! I have no problems from smoking MJ, but am concerned about my lungs, have no information on lungs.

Cannabis with higher than very low levels of THC really does lead to psychosis, delusions and even schizophrenia. It is particularly bad for young men and boys who often suffer terribly. Be very moderate with the THC in cannabis. We often ask ourselves, what is wrong with people, has anyone thought that it is the drugs and drug combos which they are taking? I refer to recreational and prescribed drugs. The brain is altered and there is brain damage. LOW THC organic cannabis is the healer.

Yeah, let's believe a classically trained psychiatrist who has "probably" never tried it or studied the nuances of how cannabinoids, terpenes, etc, can help modulate every system and organ in the body through our God-given endocannabinoid system. It's probably one of the safest and most non-toxic therapies that people can use (or abuse). I dont understand the rush to parrot this "reefer madness" psyop piece from the WSJ, lol

Rather Big pHarma feeling the effect of people not wanting to take their dangerous, mind-warping drugs, and going for a safer, more effective alternative.
