I recently found that Sleeslack x Skunk#1 works very well for me. It has a slight body tingle that actually relieves pain, short term, and at the same time it greatly reduces my anxiety. It's similar the weak diazapam. I grew 2 freebie seeds as backup plants and both were female. I didn't pay alot of attention to them, never transplanted and didn't feed much. Now after they have had a 2 month cure I started sampling. I didn't expect much at all, was thinking about turning it all into wax, but after smoking on it for a couple days I'm very impressed. Definitely my go to medical strain now. Funny how things work out sometimes, I almost pulled those plants a couple times.

I have a cut of Gods Gift that seems like an OG dom ,, nothing but relaxing anti-anxiety med.

The Blueberry x GDP I have is the same, just a comforting relaxing smoke.

Hi I also suffer from sever anxiety, panic attacks and depression. If a strain doesn't say specifically that it treats anxiety I won't touch it. Anyhow do you happen to know anything about the strain Sirius? It's a chemdawg stardawg crossed Indica I got from Tilray. I can't seem to find any info on it :( Please help?

Try asking your strain question in the Seed and Strain forum.
Someone there may know something about it.

I am mostly a trial and error guy with little technical knowledge. I don't think you are ever going to get the results you want from smoking the stuff. For anxiety, I use any of the white strains. Right now I am using something called Snow White that I got originally from Nirvana. Now I make my own seeds.
It works well to make infused coconut oil and take micro doses throughout the day. For anxiety, avoid actually getting high from the oil but just keep enough in your system to level out the anxiety. I am not saying to stop smoking the stuff but to just expect smoking it to do a lot for anxiety.
I doubt that the actual strain will make less difference than how you take it. IMO either type in its pure form might cause a problem. I would look for a balance that leans toward indica.

This is a combination re-post of a question and a follow up post I posted in my introduction.


(Original):

I am a 23 year old male. I have suffered from a depressive disorder since I was 16. I have also had periodic anxiety attacks. Sometimes I get so depressed I literally can't get a single thing done all day. The panic attacks I have had in the past have made my heart rate increase to 170 - 180 beats per minute.​

The last few panic attacks I had happened after smoking marijuana. I haven't smoked since then, and it's been about 6 months now. I miss smoking, and the relaxed feeling I used to get when I first started smoking.​

Which strain or strains would be best for me?​

I'm looking for a strain that can uplift my mood to help with my depression, and at the same time relax me in a way that would prevent an anxiety attack from following use. It must also allow me to be clear headed as I am aiming to be more productive with my days.​

Let me know what you think would work the best in my case. Thanks.​

(Follow Up):​

I read that smoking pure indica strains or hybrid 70(Indica)/30(Sativa) or 50/50 can help reduce or even eliminate panic and anxiety. I have also seen cases of people claiming that the indica strain they smoked helped regulate their heart rate after the onset of an anxiety attack. I read a testimony of one person claiming to have had a panic attack, saying their heart was nearly pounding out of their chest, and after smoking a strain called "Blue Dream" their heart rate returned to normal.​

I'm not sure how true this is. After all I have only seen one person say something like this. I am just curious to find out if there really are specific strains that can manage the effects of panic attacks or if all strains simply make the anxiety worse.​

I would love to hear what you think on the subject.​

You will have to try some different strains. Every person is different one may do good for one person bit not another. Indica dominant strains is what i like 9lbs hammer is my favorite. I get anxiety from sativa dominant strains not all but more so than most indica dominant ones. One sativa that i like is golden goat. You may want to try those strains as for my wife and myself deal with many of the same issues and those two strains i mentioned helped

I like this guide very much. Thank you for sharing it with everyone. Best one I've seen so far. After taking a look at the different strains, I believe the best strain for daytime anxiety relief would be strawberry kush, and night time relief would be master kush for a good night sleep. Just my opinion, but they seem like they would work the best for me.

I honestly get more anxiety from indica dominate strains as my body twitches and jerks from them often.
Weird I know, but sativas rapid hearbeat etc... doesnt give me the anxiety as bad

Exactly my point everyone body chemistry is different and all the Google searches in the world are going to be minimal help at best. There is not enough research on this yet. The studies I'm assuming yes assuming are just averages of what people said each strain helped them with. There really is not much research on the matter. You have many cannabinoids and many other compounds in cannabis. Also different phenos of the same plant. Along with at what point it was harvested early or late. Just a week or two will change the effect of the high. Harvest early more head high harvest late more couch lock effect. So many variables at play. These sites and the ones people are talking about will help you get a start but trial and error is what is going to show you the strain that is best for you.
