 Calling all of you who get negative effects(anxiety,panic attacks etc.) from cannabis.

What strain of weed/hash do you smoke?
Do you even know?
Is it sativa dominant or indica or is it a mixture of both?
As we all know,sativa dominant strains produce a more psychedelic high with a lot more thoughts going on inside in your head.
Indica varieties give you a heavier all round stone,known as the "couchlock" and you tend to not get so many thoughts alike sativa strains.
Since these generally ring true,if you aren't enjoying your smoking anymore or are getting anxious, especially in groups i.e. social anxiety when stoned,you should make it your priority to seek out an indica heavy strain because it will do you wonders.
I've been smoking sativa dominant strains for a good long time and I've got bad anxiety in the past so at the time,I gave up smoking for 4 months. I was fine when I went back on.
However,sometimes I recognise when anxious thoughts are brewing and I just laugh them off because they are only produced by a plant that I smoke and it being a sativa heavy strain. The thoughts go away and I enjoy myself.
Saying all this,I recently got some squidgy black(indica) and there was no potential surfacing of anxiety or anything,it was plain sailing throughout.
This definitely rang through because right now,I've a hybrid strain(a mixture of indica and sativa) and I've the squidgy black and the hybrid has every time been a more hectic stone.
I love both but I can function a lot easier on the squidgy black.
I'm sure most if not all of you know this but there are always threads about people talking about social anxiety from cannabis and this and that.
So all I'm saying to the people who get these negative thoughts,stop smoking sativa strains and get some indica. You might not have access to it and I'm sorry if you don't but if you can,you will thank me.

yeah high power weed melts my head, give me squidgy any day,
its hard to find indica weed though, the only weed being sold these days is those ridiculous sativa strains
. . . the alternative is to just eat a d-10 valium before you smoke, its class

My solution to this is either being drunk when I smoke, or eating a couple of xannies heh.
Really though, the reason I find it uncomfortable is because there is some aspect of my personality that I need to confront.. I mean the whole reason I smoke is to enjoy it, right?
I find that the more I ramp up my psychedelic usage, the less I'm able to tolerate cannabis. In the past few months I've worked my way through a whole alphabet of chemicals =/.

same with me, when i started smoking cannabis seemed like the best thing ever, i enjoyed every second of the high and i could get completely dicked over on smoke and have a great time,
but since i started using psychedelics my tolerance for smoke has gone way down and i dont enjoy it how i used to

i used to get anxiety from weed, because of psychedelic history, but
psychedelics helped with my anxiety, and even though weed is more psychedelic than it used to be, i like it, and it doesn't give me anxiety any more
indicas or sativas, i love em both, but
sativas are more psychedelic, and used to be the main contributor for anxiety, so i was always a dominant indica lover.
but i duno man
neither gave me anxiety, the anxiety was always there, and weed just amplified it.
but now it doesnt, cuz i have no reason to be anxious.
hmmmmmmmmmm
it's like
having fear,
when there is nothing to be afraid of.

The problem is that when you are afraid you don't know there is nothing to be afraid of until after the event that is causing fear has passed and you have seen your fear was unfounded, dig?

Its something about the brainreceptors that cannabinoids target that give you a feeling of anxiety. In some people this feeling is expanded and it becomes a viscous cycle or thought loop. Other people can simply ignore it or take it as part of the buzz.
I do agree that with most types of hash I don't get as much anxiety. The sativas do seem worse.

Drinking and taking downer/anti depressants are good temporary solutions but you can't keep that up forever.
Although I believe there's some underlying issues resulting in the anxiety,it's also a fact that cannabis, historically,has never been as strong/potent as it is right now.
Growers are constantly breeding new species and improving their growing techniques,making the thc content in the smoke sky high.
For a few years as I started smoking,it was soap bar hash and African bush weed and they are really weak varieties. Smoking something nice was a once off treat and I'd get stoned out of my head when I did and I loved it.
Saying this,it's only potent stuff around now and it's not surprising that people are getting anxious when such strong cannabis is around.
If you have the opportunity to get indica stains which is CBD high,you should get it.
Even if your psych usage ha compounded your ability to enjoy smoking cannabis,I assure you a simple change up of varieties should do the trick.

I agree that Sativas definitely can make anxiety worse, but I actually found Indicas made it much worse for me.
Indica dominants make me feel retarded, thus making me more self concious of everything Im saying because Im not speaking as fluently as I would be sober. I also get lazy which makes me more critical of myself.
I prefer Sativas because I feel I have more control over my thoughts and myself. This makes it easier for me to fight those thoughts of anxiety back because I know Im high. Its hard to do that when Im locked to the couch and cant remember what I was thinking about 5 minutes ago. Hahaha
But thats just me.

its impossible for me to know what strain i snoke but it feels 70/30 indica/sativa. gives me a nice solid couchlock with a mellow head high that just makes evrything fun. usually dont feel like doing much other than watching movies or playing ps3/xbox. ive not really experienced anxiety from any weed ive smoked, it always prevents my anxiety. but i can see why if it was a pure sativa why it would give people anxiety, without that nice mellowing "i dont give a fuck" effect of the indica.

smoking a more indica heavy strain helps but if youre stuck with sativa just smoking less works well too,
just a tiny pinch in a pipe, then after a while later a tiny bit more and gradually working yourself up to how wrecked you want to be, it seems to bring on less anxiety than throwing it all in a spliff or just taking one big hit from a pipe

well i used to be afraid even though I knew there was nothing to be afraid of
because if there is nothing to be afraid of, that could lead to an infinite amount of hypothetical's.
It's irony.
There is nothing to be afraid of which is the reason why i was so afraid.
Facing your fears is the only way.

I was waiting for that SWIM.
The only time I get anxious from smoking is when I have real world problems. I honestly couldnt tell what kind of bud I smoke, and Im pretty sure my dealer dosent know either, I just think of weed as weed. Same thing goes for high dollar buds vs swag. I get the same effects from either one. this is good for me because it means I dont have to invest in the expensive stuff to have a good time.
My last thought on this is that, I smoke to enjoy myself. If I feel that smoking is not going to help me do that then I dont smoke. My friends are always asking why Ill go months without smoking and my response is that I had anxiety last time I did so I needed to give it a break. I dont know how some people can be contempt bieng high all day every day. I just start getting too lazy when I do that.

It really does not matter what strain of weed I or others i know that gewt anxiety from smoking weed. its jsut unstoppable. Weed is weed. the effects are similar enough to result in a panic attack no matter what type of weed I'm smoking.
Its not as easy as a fix as changing the strain of weed. It just does not work like that for us. I sort of laughed when I read your post.

i think weed is comparable to psychedelics in the sense that it can make some settings feel like hell .... try going to a police station when you just had your first bong rip of the day

I've noticed this as well. I tend to get anxious from most strains of mary jane (except indica).
Most people I know say that weed makes them sleepy or lethargic, with me it's the opposite. It stimulates my mind to the point of being uncomfortable.
My body may get sleepy but my mind will keep me awake with racing thoughts.
I never noticed a difference until I lived near Cali and was able to choose between different strains.
