I wouldn't use anything psychoactive to "treat" anxiety. So skip out on th THC would be my advice
Tbh I just want to minimize the affects for right and get it back under control. I can’t be having anxiety attacks as frequently as I have been recently

I understand.

Like I said, just try to avoid the psychoactive component if you can, CBD should do fine.

These are good points @WestCoastBearsFan . CBD/THC may help alleviate some anxiety, but won't address the root causes of it. And as I said, it can exacerbate those feelings. Do some reading for the things dennehy posted, and read up on recognizing the thought patterns that trigger your anxiety, and work to change those thought patterns, or shut them off, and replace with better ones.

Is the root cause possibility due to an insufficient volume of jacking off?

I just use a possible addictive thing called Valium 3 times day. I need to jack up the MG because it isnt doing shit anymore.

As others had warned, get the wrong bud and you may trigger some shit.

Just get a 1000 mg tincture.

Put like four drops under your tongue morning and evening if that doesn't help you can up the amount, but that's where I'd start.

As some of you may or may not know I’ve had anxiety / depression for quite some time and after seeing how CBD oil really reduced my brother’s joint pain (he has an auto immune disease that causes him some pretty bad joint pain) I did some research and noticed it is supposed to help with anxiety as well. I am heading over to the local hemp shop either tomorrow or Friday and was wondering if anybody here knew of any specific products they would recommend to help with anxiety. Thanks in advance guys.

The trick is not to over use it, and to be mindful of your sleep schedule. I even recommend a cap at 3-4 nights per week to prevent melatonin depletion.

Blue Dream and a few others have been proven effective for depression. If you can treat it like a medication that is taken on your schedule its best. (if you start at 6 p.m., bump a couple times, you'll likely be out at 9 or 10 and have a full nights rest. Also helping anxiety. No hangover or light.

Prepare yourself for the munchies by stockpiling healthy snacks. Your mind will be experiencing foods for the first time in this mind state so have a little fun with it. Lime popscicles, greek yogurt, berries, dark chocolate...

Practicing mindful meditation a few minutes before use will help treat the problem, and ensure you are taking it seriously, and working on another avenue without drugs to get at root of problem. Something to add to your toolbox.

Basically CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy is reshaping your thought patterns into the patterns of a healthy happy mind and severing the bad ones we are prone to in this modern lifestyle and media/ad/social attack. This is the most proven way by peer tested science to address anxiety/depression spectrum issues.

Mindfulness, or mindful meditation is just a variation of CBT...and you want them in your toolbox to face this life.

It’s sad because a bunch of dumb ass boomers like yourself actually think that anxiety / depression makes somebody a psycho. I can relate to Trey Burton more daily.


Unfortunately, that mindset is not restricted to dumb ass boomers. There are Xers, millennials, and zoomers who are idiots also. And still a few from the so-called "Greatest Generation." But none, absolutely none, reach the level of dumbf*** like Omeletponce.

you know...for beginners, its almost best to have an elder...like a spirit guide to deal with the way MMJ/THC effects you initially. Be prepared to go on some mental journeys, and just remember the number one thing is not to freak out.

1. You don't need to go to the hospital. The chance you die is like getting hit by lightning and bit by a shark in the same minute. Your fine. Remember to breathe. Take deep breathes. 5 seconds in, 5 seconds out. You will be ok.
2. Be prepared to face panic attacks while high. Time can stretch on you, and you might find a place where its unbearable and 2 minutes feels like eons, do not panic. Remember to breathe, stay calm, your fine. Everyone goes through this.
3. Don't give up just because you had a bad experience. It happens, but try to learn from them. Face what it brings up, and sometimes you can gain new perspective on things and focus very deeply. If you are a writer write. If you are a reader read. Try things you have expertise at and work through your impairment. Overcoming these challenges in a new way is valuable and will serve you when you are sober.

I’ll throw another option into the ring. I’m sure it’s not for everyone but it has been shown to be very effective in limited trials
