Anti-Anxiety Strain?

I have been battling bad anxiety for the last couple years now and when I smoke I get bad anxiety and sometimes panic attacks but sometimes i have no anxiety. Just wondering if there are any particular strains that have any anti-anxiety properties?
 
Strawberry Cough and Ultimate Indica work great for me.

thats what i was ganna say STRAWBERRY COUGH would be my choice..and sativas are what u need for anxiety, indicas can actually make anxiety worse..anxiety comes from your brain and sativas are straight head highs, uplifting, mind numming.
 
Another vote for Strawberry Cough, definitely a soothing up buzz. Its my favorite strain that I have going at the moment.

Characteristics : Bred for its euphoric, anti-anxiety high, this mostly sativa (approx. 75% Sativa 25% Indica) produces a comfortable and enjoyable, yet powerful, experience.
 
guess hands down strawberry strains win. I've never tried cough but have grown out a strawberry hybrid. World of Seeds-Strawberry Blue a sativa dom. I too have panic attacks and anxiety. This strain by far was the most clear headed all around tolerable strain I've tried.
Indicas are always recommended but it depends on your condition. Indicas are great for laying you down, but they do come with some side effects that are unpleasant somtimes IMO. some sativas are anxiety inducing also. just research alot and try different strains.
 
quite a few threads on this issue, lot of different suggestions
it's tough to make sense of it, because of how differently people get affected by some strains
i have moderate anxiety, from what i've experienced is that the more powerful strains seem to have more potential to create a bad situation
if i'm overwhelmed by the effect, i don't feel good

anxiety comes not from the indica plant, but from the nasty cbn that some growers allow the THC to degrade to...food for thought

Is this a fact or theory? This is the first time i've heard of cbn being the culprit in anxiety.

wish i knew cause i've tried so many even those listed here and its all the same to me. pure indica, pure sativa they all gave me anxiety. i've also suffered from anxiety as a young child all my life and didnt smoke then. chronic anxiety is usually caused by a chemical imbalance like in myself. its not the weed, its your brain. the weed just brings it out. i went to a highly reputable doctor in my town whom i actually know pretty good. this was before medical laws in MI. i told him i smoked and he was totally cool with it. he gave me some xanax and zoloft. the xanax is just temporary and taken as needed. the zoloft you take everyday. its used for more than depression. very low side effects for myself and i never get panic attacks anymore. i cant believe how great it works. at first you feel different, but after your body adjusts to it you dont get that zombie like feeling like when you first start taking it. its not for everyone, i know a lot of ppl here dont like pills, but i think more ppl with chronic anxiety should give it a try. its like a miracle drug. also makes you feel happier too. i didnt need that in the first place cause i was always a happy person for the most part. but the little boost makes everything even better! sorry i didnt really answer you question but i know anxiety is a bitch! lot of ppl dont know how disabling it can actually be.

i didn't say it came from indica's i said smoking indica dominant strains are known to make anxiety worse or just stay the same..it could be the cbn cuz indica's have higher amounts of cbn to begin with right?? common sense..if you got any pain at all indicas are what u need..and mental issues like anxiety, depression, head aches then sativas are what u want.

It has of course been proven that THC will cause anxiety but CBN causes confusion and disorientation and in someone who has anxiety problems, that can set off their anxiety big time.

Anxiety is normally associated with fast speedy sativas but I have known people who would totally freak after smoking a heavy indica that should have left them very relaxed. They always waited for a fair to large percentage of amber trichomes, and amber is a sign of degraded THC, THC that has oxidized and become CBN. They started harvesting earlier, at the very first sign of amber showing up, and they stopped suffering from anxiety from their heavy indicas they picked for calming relaxing affects, but caused the opposite when grown until there was much to a lot of amber.

i have done 1 test of this, a nl#5(from hgs) that could be edgy when picked early
at 12 weeks, pretty nice, not edgy anyways
now i took some buds way into amber during a reveg, i'm talking 16-18 weeks, it was all amber
anxiety producing? not a hint - tell you the truth, wasn't stoney at all
but was sleepy, i'd call it 'pure sleepy' - i have seen other accounts of this, it's not just me
 
Thanks for all the replies. I take zoloft and it helps alot but I would rather treat my anxiety naturally. Im not a big fan of our current health care system nor am I a big fan of corporate pharmaceutical companies profiting billions off of our illnesses. I have a Strawberry Cough and Kali Mist I will throw in on my next grow. I am currently growing Lemon Berry, Chronic, Autoflowering Diavolo and Blueberry.
