There is now emerging high CBD cannabis see projectCBD.org. Lots of information here. Cannabis with high CBD percentages reduces the stoney effects of THC and gives you the benefits, antianxiety and pain reduction.

My former partner would get more anxious and more agitated and definitely thought he was going to have something really bad happen (aka the death, impending doom thing) but so many others I know have not had this problem and find it relaxing. Just my thoughts on the topic...

She figured out some details, which included what it's like to have an awesome giving mood to have a number of people without problems have an understanding of selected hard to do subject areas. You actually did more than our desires. I appreciate you for delivering those precious, dependable, explanatory and easy guidance on the topic to Emily.

I smoked it in high school with no issues, a little paranoia, but no real anxiety. I always have blamed a combo of Wellbutrin (an anti-smoking drug), nicotine gum, and caffeine pills which I took all at once in order to get some work done (I was in my mid-20's). This caused my first anxiety attack and I continue to have them now 5 years later after completely giving up caffeine, niccotine, and all other medication. I think we (anxiety sufferers) are all programmed to start getting anxiety in our later lives, and some stressful event will inevitably set it off- be that cannabis, large doses of caffeine, or a stressful life event. I don't care if people blame cannabis or not, but I firmly believe if not the cannabis, something else would have set it off in you. A new baby. Or a mean boss. Or a triple espresso.

Usually high levels of exercise and fitness decrease anxiety levels. I hope you can find a non pharma solution to your anxiety. Did the anxiety stop after the cannabis was out of your system? I agree Gwenno.

Pot has 2 distinct strains, sativa and indica. It makes a big difference in your "high" Sativa will give you a psychological high, with indica giving you more of a couch lock high. Quite different results. My son who suffers from anxiety, smokes a mostly indica strain and it totally soothes and relaxes him. Marijuana has many different properties according to the strain. Educate yourselves and it will make a big difference in your experiences. I found this forum just surfing the internet about cannabis and anxiety. Pot has 2 distinct strains, sativa and indica.

I actually just trained for my first marathon and had just stopped running for the first time when this all happened. Interesting that you ask that Tony.

Are you generally fit and active? Could a combination of things be causing your panic attacks? DG, do you use any other substances like alcohol? Are you generally fit and active?

One night in November, after YEARS of heavy pot smoking, I had my first panic attack and it's been horrible since. I don't know if pot unlocked these issues, since i've been anxious since I was a kid, but it's definitely made it harder for me to control my thoughts, which can spiral out of control now. I've had about 5 full blown panic attacks since that night and have been dealing with DAILY anxiety (higher than normal). i strongly suggest not smoking pot if you have major anxiety issues. I do miss the release pot gave me, but it's not worth it for me to possibly go back to that horrible place again. I just stumbled across this after 4 months of dealing with panic and anxiety.

I react very badly to SSRIs (extreme nausea) and Xanax also makes me extremely ill. Perhaps it made your anxiety worse, but it has helped me immensely. The main thing that it helps me with is calming my stomach and IBS, which are related to my nervousness. I don't use it to get "high." I just have enough to calm my stomach and nerves.
