Weed is the reason 90% of people here have anxiety 2

Anyone think that the reason everyone has anxiety here, much more than normal, is because of weed? I think weed causes anxiety, especially in social situations, which leads to anxiety disorders.

What makes you think a disproportionate number of people here have anxiety? Are you sure you aren't projecting?

Maybe, I have heard that complaint from some people about weed.
I smoke weed all the time and I don't think I'm a socially anxious person, however.

I've smoked for the last 8 consecutive days. If anything, weed kills my anxiety and helps me relax.

Has anybody here found this: Little Jimmy started out smoking weed. He could handle it in any situation. At work, at schook, around little Jimmies mother and father. Little Jimmy one day had a panic attack, or some trigger, and now every time Jimmy smokes he gets anxiety.

I have something similar to that but with nausea. I think the mary jane is causing me reoccurring nausea.

I didn't start smoking until I was 18 and my anxiety has always been very bad without MJ

I don't know about you but based on where I live and the crowds I hang out with, pot smokers tend to be more talkative and confident. Every time I sesh, being social feels a lot more interesting and fun than usual.

I found out very recently its the low CBD weed that causes those problems. THC without CBD = paranoia and anxiety. CBD weed is the best, like the schwag I got as a kid, never have me anxiety because of the CBD, the high THC zero CBD is bad news bears.

If you smoke pot daily, in considerable amounts, you are way more likely to be anxious, depressed or otherwise befuddled than nonsmokers or infeequent smokers.
Some can smoke a lot of herb and be OK but many can't. And I think its like that with all drugs, if you take em daily it messes you up.

Maybe people with underlying anxiety disorders are just attracted to weed. I personally smoke daily for the most part and im pretty sociable high or not

Yeah, a lot of people blame it on their own personality when it's clearly drug-related. I'm sure most of these "disorders" can be cured with exercise and abstinence.

high THC = a head high and high CBDs= a body high right?

Weed can give you social anxiety trips if you sit alone and smoke :-)
so it is best to smoke not alone
my best way of smoking was doing it every 2 weeks or so at one time, and every 3-4 months at another time (out in pub, not alone smoking)
daily smoking always gave me anxiety, paranoid (check the door, hide the weed etc), always thinking people were talking about me etc.
weed messed up my thoughts, but didnt give me fear really, just quite paranoid when I smoked too much
paranoia is a normal side effect with skunk/strong hash, it is reduced after stopping 2-3 months :-)
the munchies side effect were worse than the paranoia but the change in thoughts were a bit bad too... very hard to be myself if I smoked daily and it took many many months for my thoughts to return to normal/baseline, had weird thoughts for many months after stopping
it all seems dose related, and individual, and set,setting based
I subscribe to The Mckenna Way Once every few months(do it rarely), get the strongest stuff you can get, silent darkness/or pub with friends ;-) if you have to smoke MJ... but I know firsthand MJ can be very good at inducing anxiety know a few people who had to stop due to it, it is very common I had to stop due to bad trips on it, and for personal reasons
it seems my thoughts werent messed up so much if I didnt smoke everyday, only when it was everyday did it really mess up my thoughts
what is more important than being in control of your own thoughts? nothing IMO

100% percent of anxiety is caused because of cops and just bad people in general. go somewhere where there is none of these and you will be cured.
