Looking for Marijuana medicine that doesn't have side effects

Some people, who are prone to have anxiety attacks and such, will have the symptoms you describe when smoking. I believe it's more of a mental issue than anything and obviously, smoking should probably be avoided. Different strains, though, will produce various reactions and sativa's TEND to be more racey/heady while indica's have the opposite effect with more bodily effects. Stick with 100% indica's and there are many around- and you will have fewer unpleasant side effects.

^ I know the theory.

I am looking for practical advice from people who experience the same problem. For example: a guy gets a racing heart every time he smokes weed, no matter if it is a Sativa or an Indica, but wow! all of a sudden he discovers a miracle strain that doesn't cause a racing heart.
Any success stories like that?

I have the same problem with sativas Guerilla, I feel like I'm having a minor heart attack. Try some strong Indica Dominant medicine, can almost guarantee you wont get those side effects. I work at a dispensary and wont even smoke a few strains because of this problem.

The last time I smoked (and got a serious case of the racing heart problem), I was told that the strain was an Indica. But maybe there was a mistake and it was a Sativa, who knows...

Funny thing is that right now I am growing a Sativa. I stole a clone from somebody's guerilla garden and it turned out to be the lankiest Sativa on Earth, with the narrowest leaves known to humanity. The leaves almost look like pine needles, lol. So, if the theory is true, what I am growing would not be a good strain for people who suffer from the racing heart thing... but I am going to finish this grow and give the final product a try anyway.
I am thinking of leaving this Sativa plant into flowering until 80% of its trichomes get amber. I'm hoping that this would produce a less racey and less energetic effect that resembles the effect of an Indica plant.

@quietguy420, what strains do you stay away from, and what strains have you found out to be safe to smoke?

Sativa is an energetic and happy feeling and indica has a sleepy calming effect. Their is alot of 80/20 sativa/indica or 80/20 indica/sativa. Also their are 50/50 sativa/indica. CBD is what most medical strains are all about, most sativas have none of this. If it was me I would try a 80/20 indica/sativa.

Yes. Indicas always gave me that feeling. Sativas are completely the opposite. They even allow for normal day-to-day funcitoning. I am not sure who would have told you that indicas would not cause this but it does not seem right.

P.S. I have tried Grand Daddy Purple once, and recall that it is dominantly indica. It produced some pleasant effects.
