Hi,
I came accross this forum while seeking informations on medical cannabis. I suffer from anxiety, panick attacks, depression, a bit of social phobia and obssessive thoughts (fear of harming, or loosing control). I don't want to go on antidepressants again, and am seeking for alternative treatment.
I am looking for testimonies, advices, scientific researches, neurobiological infos on the subject.
I hope you can help me. I have to specify I'm not confortable with psychoactive substances, as I have had bad experiences with cannabis smoking whan I was young (bad trip).
I live in France, please excuse my english.. In this country, medical cannabis is a unfortunately a delicate subject.. Thanks for reeding !
Regards

Hey Welcome,
There are many strains that produce many results, one might make you sleepy while the same strain makes me wired. Whats good for you might not be good for me or to my liking.

Best bet would be to try many strains in a safe environment.
$40 Paris to Amsterdam. jmo

Edit: Be sure to have a friend with you should you panic, be safe.

I agree with grandpapy. I do get help with the symptoms you listed. At the same time when I get medical cannabis. I will still want to be on something. Reason. Your bennifits drop off as you sleep at night. Total control is a balance of both.

A big first for you. Find some strain you can handle. All strains have medical bennifits. Some are listed as medical. Still it might not work for you. Once you find a comfortable strain then go for it. I know you don't like psychoactive drugs. You still might want to consider being on a low dose. That way you aren't riding an up down roller coaster. That could make life worse. Best of luck8)

I have 2 friends that struggle with mental illness.one has major depression and the other has borderline personality disorder.cannabis helps both of them but remember that a therapeutic dose is much smaller than a recreational dose unless your dealing with serious persistent pain.I find that high CBD strains work better for treating my arthritis and they are also preferred for seizure disorders but high THC strains seem to work better for depression and anxiety.just start with a very small dose and work your way up.it you have hallucinations and a "bad trip" then you are taking way to much but the same thing can happen with over the counter cold medicines.

I've got the severe pain. High CBD strains I like. Indica DOM. I also found a 50/50 hybrid is also good. Currently growing an indica dom. Next grow I'm going to try a sativa dom. To see if the other half also works. A 50/50 even works well and you are more functional. The high CBD you get a good tollerence for it after a while and can stay awake. The first time you will fall asleep hard. When you wake up you feel so refreshed.

hello ......sorry for my slang terms and grammar ......got yah covered

1 u need a doctor to give u a classification ( i am bi polar adhd and dyslexic )
2 once u know that term on the medical forms ........it is just matter of searching medical research

3 Cannabis,THC.CBD,Cannabinoids,Terpenes..........these are the medical terms for weed these are the terms u look for
for example
Bipolar disorder controlled by cannabinoids
http://www.ukcia.org/research/CannabinoidsInBipolarAffectiveDisorder.pdf

that is done by the english in the UK ........


4 now some places have done the work on this and others have not ......depending where u are u might need to leave the local net search and target info from another country
A ) u can use a ip spoofer and change your ip addy to different country and access the google for that area (google is broken down into regions to find tune searches)
B) u can access a local university that is tied into the educational and scientific network (their library should have access to everything automatically set up just matter of correct keywords)

5 countries for u to target your searching
Israel .....has alot
Spain......they been working few years
UK..........good amount
Netherlands ......alot
Germany.........good amount
Canada ..........just starting but work off others so little more in depth

i do not speak french i just know a good translator program

bonjour ...... désolé pour mes termes d'argot et de la grammaire ...... mais j'ai yah couvert

1 u besoin d'un médecin pour u donner une classification (je suis adhd bi polaire et dyslexique)
2 fois u sais que ce terme sur les formulaires médicaux ........ il est juste question de recherche de la recherche médicale

3 Cannabis, THC.CBD, cannabinoïdes, terpènes .......... ce sont les termes médicaux pour les mauvaises herbes ce sont les termes u look pour
par exemple
Le trouble bipolaire contrôlé par cannabinoïdes
http://www.ukcia.org/research/CannabinoidsInBipolarAffectiveDisorder.pdf

ce qui est fait par l'anglais au Royaume-Uni ........


4 maintenant certains endroits ont fait le travail sur ce sujet et d'autres pas ...... selon l'endroit où u sont u pourrait avoir besoin de quitter la recherche réseau local et de cibler informations d'un autre pays
A) u peut utiliser un spoofer ip et changer votre ip Addy à différents pays et accéder à la google pour cette zone (google est divisé en régions pour trouver des recherches tune)
B) u peut accéder à une université locale qui est liée dans le réseau éducatif et scientifique (leur bibliothèque doit avoir accès à tout configurer automatiquement des mots-clés seulement question de corriger)

5 pays pour u pour cibler votre recherche
Israël ..... a beaucoup
Espagne ...... ils travaillé quelques années
UK .......... bonne quantité
Pays-Bas ...... beaucoup
Allemagne ......... bonne quantité
Canada .......... juste de commencer, mais travailler à l'extérieur d'autres si peu plus en profondeur

je ne parle pas français, je sais juste un bon programme de traduction

sorry i got to do this for ........bi polar is one of the worst things u can get labeled with as they do not make meds for it they give use anti sezure meds that seems to controll the effect

i was found out at 13 ......u seem older so i am guessing it hit u in 30 35
the pills they give u are bad .....they have side effects to them .....before u let the doctor gve u anything ......make them give u a print out of all the side effects and have them sign it

they put me on a pill called depakote ......odds are they will try it with u as it is the standard fall back
on it long enough and high enough dose u will lose your hair and gain a premit spare tire


so before u start taken anything .......look up the side effects.......no one told me otherwise i would never have taken it

i wish i had known about this site .....i pulled up the bi ploar sections
https://www.crazymeds.us/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/MedClass/MSMeds

those are the pills they use on us .......click on what they are talking about and read the page u will get everything u need to know before u take it ......rem once they find something that works for u they keep upping the doses so it keeps working .....sooner or later it gets to side effect range

Ha ha good guess close I'm 37. The doctor offered me medication but I refused,I am a big believer in foods and healthy lifestyle to help with illness especially mental illness,unfortunately a lot of people aren't as mentally strong or far worse like my wife,man it's tough watching it at times,I have been trying to get her to medicate through weed buts hates smoke, I did have a vap but it broke (guess I should buy one) my wife loves Amsterdam and feels on top of the world after eating muffins etc I am looking at recipes etc myself but it's very hard with two kids around
My wife takes quetipine.

food and all that stuff is not going to help ..........it is a chemical imbalance in the head it takes something to control it
your just in the starting part u never had a full break ........it is not pretty ......u need something to help keep u lvl

as for not liking smoke .......oil u can make food and candies from it ......u just need a fatty oil for the thc/cdbs to attach too
CBDs is what we need .......that is the lvler keeps from u going into the dark depressed mode ......the THC is just for calming on me (lets me sit in one place for more then 45 mins )

if your wife is one of those that does not like anything like they there is a canook biz that is making oils ......but they are doing it right they are controlling the CBD and THC mix in it so u can get something that all cbd with just little thc in it to help it work better
looked for the link for yah could not find it was a news piece i read a few months back


get your wife CBDs ......oil the drink in food or lotions (yes lotions and creams)
what she is taken i take to sleep at night i do 100 mig pill every night i want to get to bed with out fun 36 hours
https://www.crazymeds.us/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Meds/Seroquel

that is the side effects .......watch out for the twitches and ticks ....first one stop taken it before u make permit

CBDs have no high effect infact they countering that high feeling u get from THC


they are 100% legal here in usa ........THC is illegal but CBDs are legal ( if your wire has a piss test job the CBDs will make it come up dirty .....tell them u are taken CBDs and they need to do a THC9 test )

In my experience, the benefits for anxiety and depression are cumulative. On day one, for anxiety, it makes a big difference but not as much as you would get taking Valium. It works better, the longer you use it. You don't develop a tolerance and you don't get addicted. After about a week, it actually works better than prescription drugs and there is no tolerance issue. I don't know about depression because I don't have the issue. Also, I use infused oil. I don't know how well smoking it will work.
A lot of people worry that it hurts memory. It does at first, but over a little time, it is not unusual for memory to improve.
