first you have to narrow it down to how you get anxious. it is from racing thoughts or paranoia etc. because sometimes sativas are suggested for anxiety because it suppose to be more clear headed and more into the mind but that also causes peeps anxiety because you start to think too much. I prefer 100% indicas because i get a straight body stone with no effect of my mental thoughts to cause anxiety. Personally I have really bad anxiety and the only genetics that has help me are 100% indicas.

It really depends on each person owns cannabis receptors. everyone responds different to any strain of marijuana. even 100% indicas from different breeders may cause anxiety and some dont. we really have to narrow it down to the exact genetics. like for example Bubba Kush from doc greenthumbs is 100% indica and helps with my anxiety.

I think u have them mixed up? Sativas can raise heart rate and energize you, while indicas relax you and slow you down. That is how they (usually) do for me. There are some strains that are not what they claim and might be a sative when sold as an indica.

Nice thing is in Cali we can grow or buy whatever type helps us, some searching for the right strain though.

Indica's seem to be worse for my anxiety/paranoia than sativa, but I only have a sample group of two at the moment.

This is weird that a lot of ppl have anxiety/paranoia from indica strains? I dont know what is really the best, but just based my opinion on my reading, and my personal use. I can get anxiety or paranoid from any strain it seems though, but less often from indica. I might have other problems outside the weed that causes it.....

ill tell you what NOT to get...stay away from big bang from greenhouse. at least in my experience it made my anxiety worse...
for me its not a matter of sativa or indica working for my anxiety...its the TYPE of indica or sativa...i can get anxiety or be cured of it from both types...big bang just isnt one...it made it clearly worse to the point where i didnt want to finish it...but i had a 1/2lb at the time (4 personal use)...so yeah. those months sucked.
i had a great strain that fixed my anxiety...i was TOLD (you can never be too sure) it was Agent orange which i assume is from tga (i heard of some other seedbank making it but you never know)...

It is not as simple as sativa or indica. It comes down to the percentages of each cannabinoid in each strain of each type or of each cross that is predominantly one or the other. There are many sativa or predominantly sativa crosses that are good anti-anxiety strains, especially when it comes to daytime use when many people have to get up, get out and do things rather than just sit and fart into a couch cushion all day and stare blankly at the Weather Channel for hours on end and not even realize how boring it is.
Here are a few examples of some sativa's and sativa dominant crosses that are good anti-anxiety strains.
AK47
traits: ak-47, Ann Arbor Medical Marijuana, berry smell, calming, couchlock, dark green, day time use, Diesel Fuel Smell, Good For Anxiety, Good For Insomnia, Good For Pain Relief, Good For Relaxing, lots of crystals, Michigan Medical Marijuana, musty taste, Night Time Use, pine taste, sativa, skunky smell, strong smell, Very Potent
Strain Name: AK47
Grade: A-
Type: Hybrid – Sativa Dominant
Looks: Dark yellowish green buds completely covered in an avalanche of crystals. Very little hairs, what hairs are present are a dark amber red and are only visible when breaking up the buds. (7/10)
Smell: Strong pungent skunky smell mixed with berry fruit, diesel exhaust and diesel fuel. This strain is a room reaker. (9/10)
Taste: Has a weird distinct taste. It tastes like the way an old crawl space smells – sweet musty taste with a hint of pine. Doesn’t taste as good as it smells. I think the taste could have been a result of too much nutrients or lack of a proper flush during the grow. (7/10)
Effects: Day time use with a thc tolerance, night time use only with a low tolerance. I see why they call it AK47 because this strain is killer! I’m a seasoned vet and this strain had me traveling the world in the clouds. Good strain for relaxing, anti-anxeity, couchlock, pain relief, and insomnia. (9/10)
Potency: Very Strong (9/10)
Diesel
traits: Ann Arbor Medical Marijuana, calming, creative thoughts, day time use, Diesel Fuel Smell, energy, fruity smell, fruity taste, Good For Anxiety, Good For Energy, Good For Relaxing, Grapefruit Smell, Grapefruit Taste, Michigan Medical Marijuana, sativa, strong, sugary rice crispies smell
Strain Name: Diesel
Grade: A-
Type: Hybrid – Sativa 70% / Indica 30%
Looks: Super bright green and bright orange hairs – fairly dense buds. The bright orange hairs look like they are pouring out of bud. Crystal heavily cover the entire bud. (9/10)
Smell: When the jar is cracked it smells like a delicious freshly sliced grapefruit and sugary rice crispies. When it’s ground up it smells like grapefruit and unburnt diesel fuel. Smells yummy! (9/10)
Taste: Fresh grapefruit berry green taste with a touch of sour on the inhale. The exhale was a little rough not as fruity as it should have been. Fruity taste is not as strong as the smell, but it definitely tastes like some chronic. (8/10)
Effects: Day time use. Ever hear of 5 hour energy? Well this is a 2 hour energy punch! Had me bouncing off the walls with new creative ideas. Pretty much getting stuff done on my to do list that has been there since 2009 
Even with the energy burst, I was chillaxed to the max, I could feel my eyelids dropping. Great medical strain for energy, creative thoughts, and anti-anxiety. Perfect balance of sativa and indica. The effects lasted a long time, I was feeling it hours later. (9/10)

Strain Name: Chocolope
Grade: A+
Looks: Super dense buds that are light green with tons of dark orange and dark red hairs. Buds look real dense like golf balls. (10/10)
Smell: It smells delicious like a strong piece of juicy fruit gum with a slight hint of skunk. (10/10)
Taste: Just like it smells, juicy fruit gum with hints of skunk. Put out a thick smooth vapor from the volcano. (9/10)
Effects: Day and night time use. Excellent medicinal effects. Provided an energetic, creative like effects. Good for pain relief, relaxing, munchies, and for getting stuff done. A few tokes too many and it provides a narcotic like couch lock which is great for sleeping. This is some FIRE! (10/10)
Potency: Very Strong (9/10)
Bubblegum
traits: Ann Arbor Medical Marijuana, bad exhale taste, bad grow, calming, earthy taste, euphoric, Good For Anxiety, Good For Pain Relief, Good For Relaxing, indica effects, Michigan Medical Marijuana, sativa, sweet smell, sweet taste
Strain Name: Bubblegum
Grade: B
Type: Hybrid – Sativa Dominant
Looks: Light green with lots of bright orange hairs. The buds are kind of airy. Has TONS of crystals that looks like snow. (8/10)
Smell: When the jar is cracked it smells similar to a piece of old school bazooka bubblegum. When its ground up it has a strong citus like smell with hints of manufactured plastic and bazooka bubble gum. (9/10)
Taste: Has a decent sweet and wet earthy taste on the inhale, similar to the smell before it’s ground up. The exhale tastes like burnt campfire leaves. The taste on the exhale is from the grow and not the strain, as I’ve had bubblegum before that tasted like bubblegum chewing gum. (6/10)
Effects: Night time use. Provided powerful medicinal effects. Worked great for pain, relaxing and anti-anxiety. I was expecting more of a sativa like effect, but it felt like it was more on the heavy indica side. I was on verge of being couched locked, but still very energetic at the same time. One bowel from the volcano was more than enough to get er’ done. (8/10)
Potency: Strong (8/10)
Bluecheese
traits: anti-depressant, California Medical Marijuana, calming, euphoric, focused, Frosty, good cure, Good For Anxiety, Good For Relaxing, good taste, hits hard, Purple Lotus Patient Center, sativa, skunk smell, skunky smell, smooth
Strain Name: Blue Cheese
From: Purple Lotus Patient Center
Grade: High
Type: Sativa
Looks: Frosty, well cured
Smell:Interesting smell, not like cheese, but skunky
Taste: very tasty, no bad aftertaste.
Effects: Smooth smoke, hits you hard and fast. Very euphoric and uplifting, but doesn’t make your heart beat fast like some sativas do. This is a good choice for a focused and relaxing sativa.
Potency: High
Jack Herer
traits: calming, day time use, Dense Buds, energizing, frosty resin, fruity taste, Good For Anxiety, Good For Relaxing, grape cluster buds, happy, haze smell, Head Buzz, light green, lung expansion, sativa, skunk smell, skunky smell, smooth, Very Potent, visuals
Grade: B
Type: Hybrid (Haze) – Sativa dominant
Looks: This variety’s long-fingered leaves and dense, grape-cluster bud formations appear light green due to the frosty resin coating. The few hairs on the buds turn brick red as the plant matures
Smell: The smell is fresh with a signature Haze accent and a pleasin hint of skunkiness.
Taste: Fairly fruity strain, not harsh

Smell: Very sweet,hazey aroma.
Taste: Like Candy. Smooth smoke.
Effects: Very clear head buzz. Quit long as well. Good for anxiety.
Potency: Moderately high. Not the most potent, but damn satisfying and does the job. Overall this is a fun smoke because it helps with bad vibes and taste and smells awesome when smoking, so it’s almost like an aroma therapy session as well. Can’t wait to use this in my breeding program.
Amnesia
traits: California Medical Marijuana, calming, floaty head, Frosty, Good For Anxiety, Good For Energy, Heady, jack herer, memory loss, no after taste, Purple Lotus Patient Center, sativa, Very Potent

Looks: Frosty, hairy
Smell: Dank
Taste: No aftertaste, heavy

Potency: High
Snowcap
traits: calming effects, colorado medical marijuana, Dense Buds, diesel taste, Good For Anxiety, Good For Energy, light green, lots of crystals, sativa, skunk taste, strong smell, sweet smell
Strain Name: Snowcap
Grade: B-
Type: Sativa
Looks: The bud is extremely light green at least from what i can tell from under the vast amount of crystals that take up the entire outer coating. Unlike some extremely crystally strains it has a lot of very light peach colored hairs that bulge out of the nug. All the nugs are extremely dense so much so the 1/8th looked like a gram and i had to ask the people at the dispensary if they had calibrated there scale lol.
Smell: The smell is very sweet and strong. It also has a bit of a wet dog smell that is very interesting. This is a room reaker and it will radiate out of any container.
Taste: The taste is quite mild but lingers. It is skunk like with a hint of high octane gasoline. It doesn’t overpower at all and doesn’t last the entire life of the bowl. once a couple of hits are taken the grunt of the taste is gone and it more and more begins to just taste cashed.
Effects: The high is light and in my opinion short lived. Its very up but and cerebral in the beginning but it VERY soon calms way down and it is just a buzz from there on out. I suppose it would be a great strain for anti- anxiety because of its calm light quality. This bud is not great for my knee pain or insomnia so it is not the greatest medicine for myself but it is a good calm smoke.
Doyon Bud
traits: anti-depressant, euphoric, Good For Anxiety, increased appetite, lime green, munchies, pine taste, purple, skunk, strong smell, Top Shelf
Strain Name: Doyon Bud
Grade: A+
Type: Sativa
Looks: Massive lime-green fluffy nugs with very noticeable crystals. Small patches of purple throughout the bud.
Smell: Very strong skunk smell that stings the nostrils in the best way.
Taste: Strong pine taste that continues to get better as you smoke.
Effects: This bud is guaranteed to brighten anyone’s day. Helps with anxiety and puts very euphoric thoughts in your mind. This bud will give you the munchies and definitelywill help with eating disorders.
Potency: Lasts from 2.5-3 hours
Cinderella 99 (C99)
traits: clear head, fruit, Good For Anxiety, Michigan Medical Marijuana, mood enhancer, piney, sativa
Strain Name: Cinderella 99 (C99)
Grade: A-
Type: Hybrid – Sativa Dominant
Looks: Light green with dark orange / red hairs. Lots of crystals cover each part of the dense bud.
Smell: Does not have a real strong smell until it’s broken up. Smells like a watermelon or that mystery white flavor airhead candy when it’s broken up.
Taste: Piney with hints of chemically engineered fruit flavor, similar to the candy airhead’s smell. Skunky overtones with slight hints of burnt campfire leaves tasteon exhale. Had a different kind of a piney taste, tasted the way the fake christmas tree’s in the 80′s smelled.
Effects: Day time use! Provided an energetic, clear head type of medicinal effect. Also enhanced my mood and produced anti-anxiety feelings. Standard sativa medicinal effects.
Potency: Medium
Lamb’s Breath
traits: colorado medical marijuana, Good For Anxiety, Good For Headache, Good For Pain Relief, lemon smell, mellow, warm
Strain Name: Lamb’s Breath
Grade: B-
Type: Sativa
Looks: Very dense and dark green, but a bit less crystalline than average for this price range.
Smell: Dank and spicy, with lemon undertones.
Taste: The flavor sticks very closely to the dank scent. The first thing that came to mind when I tasted this was the idea of some dank sort of sweet cigarette.
Effects: This is a very warm headed high, almost like that typical feeling you get with good Headband. That warm feeling typically makes strains very good for migraines/headaches. The body buzz was negligible. I was surprised at the lack of mood enhancement in such a pure sativa. Also, as far as sativas go, this one is very mellow.
Potency: Effects lasted 1-1.5 Hours
