Does Anyone Get Anxiety From Smoking Weed?

Started happening about a year ago. Since then I've drastically reduced my intake. I still love everything about weed though.

I thought I'd see if anyone has my dilemma and if anyone knows of a strain that would work for me.

some i find edgy, which i don't like, still a work in progress for me
i'm actually trying to use mj for anxiety, which is funny
so far, i've found a few WW crosses that seem helpful, but i know there are better medicines out there

Yeah, same for me. Most of my weed-related anxiety comes from locating the stuff. In all seriousness, though... subbing this thread because this is EXACTLY why I smoke. I'm looking forward to seeing more suggestions.

Sure, I'll get a strain that is racy from time to time. I'm trying to find the right one still too. Some make me feel like I'm about to lose my mind.

Durban Poison seemed to have me incredibly anxious/paranoid for the while I had it, but then again I tend to smoke too much in one sitting... I'm working on a happy medium.

Most strains have the potential for paranoia, this is caused by high thc potency and little to no cbd compounds, thc effects the part of your brain that is responsible for memory and cognitive reasoning, by fitting into receptors we already have in our synapses that control those effects. Cbds on the other hand are another grp of compounds found in trichromes that dont mature until the end of the trichrome life cycle. Plants that are harvested early contain only thc, the effect can lead to mild hallucination and paranoia, when a plants is left until a good portion of the trichromes have turned a milky/amber color, cbds are now present, they are responsible for the euphoric and narcotic feeling, helping to cancel out some of the thc's hallucinogenic properties.
This only really helps when growing your own but i find when purchasing marijuana it doesn't hurt to bring a 10x hand held microscope and make sure what u are getting has that trichome color you are looking for, otherwise look forward to a short, cerebral high with plenty of panic attacks.

Mostly when I get too high, it's like from up in smoke, "I can't breathe man!, I can't breathe" but some strains do make me more paranoid until I build up a tolerance.

try using a vaporizer next time and it will dramatically decrease the anxiety. Personally i stopped burning weed long time ago..

of course! I environment, environment, environment!!!!! I have severe panic disorder, i still smoke, i still get paranoid. But my anxiety responds to my environment, mindset, mood, level of anxiousness. It may cause anxiety for ya. But smoke when you feel the need not just because Johnny Blaze wants to get high as hell with you before work.
The anxiety will go away no matter ... ALWAYS remember that.

Alot of sativas also tend to contain terpenes that promote mental activity, worsening anxiety conditions. Strains high in cannabidiol, or CBD, will mitigate most anxiety symptoms or side-effects. Strains containing linalool will also help greatly with these conditions.

i tried zoloft a while back, it sort of worked..but made me rage hard AT THE SMALLEST THING..

id blame it on extensive mdma use, the anxiety i get anyway..

pot might magnify it at times tho..
