What kinda weed should I get?
    #23574636 - 08/25/16 12:07 AM (7 years, 5 months ago)

I've been smoking on and off for a long time now but it started really negatively impacting me about 2 years ago. Anyway, I almost completely quit cannabis about 2-3 months ago. I've had a couple binges since then where I'll smoke for three days straight with buddies, but it really exacerbates my social anxiety for whatever reason so smoking on the regular is just not healthy for me. But, I plan on taking a trip out to CO in the coming months and while I plan on abstaining until then, I'd like to smoke a bit while I'm there. Does anyone have suggestions as to what kind of strains I should try? I know my tolerance will be incredibly low by that point, and I'd rather not get my face blown off dabbing. I was thinking of asking for a really powerful indica. I've also heard there are some low thc, high cbd strains that are worth trying. Just looking for some suggestions and info for those more experienced

Any of the cheese strains. They're always quite sedating

Id recommend a hybrid. Might help with your social anxiety a bit.

Also, get one at around 20% potency. I find ideal for low tolerance.

Get a sativa dominant strain will feel like a stimulant rather then the regular cloudy couch lock lazy junk food eating sleepy buzz.    With a sativa like green crack you get uplifted energized head high .

Yea, don't let anyone talk you into taking a dab :lol: ....for one with no tolerance and prone to some anxiety from the herb, that'd be a panic/anxiety attack in an instant (and/or very deep sleep). I say the same in regards to edibles, stay away from em' .



Some strains that I personally find to melt away anxious feels, I mean almost every strain of the herb will relax me to a certain extent but there are just a few strains that I've had over the years that have a distinct anti-anxiety aspect to them...


I smoked some "Sunset Sherbet" recently and fell in love with it, it's the first thing that comes to mind that I'd recommend. It has a pronounced mood lift and anxiety melting buzz to it. I also found it to be rather clear headed and functional. It was all around a superb clear, calm, and cozy high. Made me feel giggly and up-lifted just like my early days of smoking.


If I remember correctly, LA confidential was another strain that eased anxiety for me (though it was a rather potent smoke, not so clear and mellow as the sunset sherbet).


Grand Daddy Purple is the epitome of mellow....though it usually lacks a certain something in the buzz for me, it's a great sleepy mellow strain. Usually damn tasty too.


Bubba Kush can be mellow and easy going.


Look into some CBD rich strains such as AC/DC , there's a lot more out there these days . A CBD rich strain sounds like exactly what you're looking for, but don't turn down the chance to smoke on some other varieties.



And when having a low tolerance, any strain, even the most mellow, could very well annihilate you...

yea man, I've been there before where someone kinda pressured me into dabbing and it FUCKED ME UP. No joke, I probably would have been more functional had I eaten 3.5g of mushrooms lol. For whatever reason I handle traditional psychedelics much better than I handle weed, go figure

But cool, thanks for all the info. I'll definitely look into trying a high CBD strain but that sunset sherbert sounds fantastic. Last time I was in CO I tried something called Blue Gum, a powerful indica, enjoyed that very much. I've still yet to try a powerful sativa but I'll keep on the look out. I think in the end, I'm gonna just have to moderate how much I smoke regardless of the strain. I'll buy a cheap bowl and just take a few puffs every few minutes till I get to where I wanna be

Yea, moderation is key :smirk:....I think that's where some people with low tolerance/prone to anxiety from the herb go wrong, they start off with a few tokes too many and before they know it they're out of their gourd. Happend to some chick I know, some folks/friends of hers suggested she give cannabis a try for sleep and other issues she has, well she ended up smoking a bowl and that was way too much for her with no tolerance (long story short, she ended up going to the hospital because of severe anxiety)...I ended up telling her she should have started off with just a single toke, a piece of bud literally no bigger then the size of a pea, then wait some 20 to 30 minute or so before deciding to take another.

I've been smoking daily for a decade or so now and I still only take one to three small rips off my pipe every hour or so in the evening/night and that's plenty for me (that's not to say I don't ever toke up larger amounts or dab out).

But one single good toke, with no tolerance, would be plenty enough for me to get really stoned.


You mentioning "Blue Gum" reminded me, Blue Dream is another well rounded & mellow strain I'd suggest.


Pure or sativa dominant strains can be really clear headed and uplifting, but I say there's also a lot more potential for one to have anxiety/racing thoughts from a sativa.. Some folks get more anxiety from sativas, while some folks get more of that from indicas...Green crack in particular makes my mind race and think A LOT! I had this strain for a while recently and smoking it before bed was terrible, I just laid around thinking non-stop, it was very difficult to turn off my mind/thoughts. But during the day time, I found green crack to be a terrific motivating & social day time smoke.



And I can kinda relate to what you said about handling psychedelics better then cannabis...even though I've been smoking daily for many years now (only small amounts, about 0.1g to 0.3g a day), generally speaking I've had more anxiety/paranoia and uneasy feels from cannabis then I have from classic psychedelics....5 or 6 years ago I was hanging with friends that smoked a lot more than I prefer to, but I would still take a toke off any joint/pipe/bong passed my way back then, around that time is when I had a lot of anxious feels and feeling of edge because of the herb.

These days, I have no problem "just saying no" :lol: ....I've learned what amounts I like to smoke and stick to it, there's only a few occasions/situations where I'm down to and like to smoke a lot (coming down from a trip or mdma, when I'm sick, when I can't sleep, when I'm out camping, etc...)

I actually like having the tolerance that I do, I like being able to smoke and remain pretty functional & not couch-locked or out of my gourd/tripping . But it's low enough that I can still get really high pretty easily.

I wouldn't necessarily say this. Edibles can be a really chill and fun high and has great antidepressant and anti anxiety effects. That is if you're keeping the dosage tolerable.

I hear ya on that and I actually agree to a certain extent...

...I was just saying that mostly because the dude mentions he has low/no tolerance and is kinda prone to anxiety from the herb, and dialing in the right dosage or getting to that "ideal level" of being high with edibles can be tricky sometimes if one has no tolerace, along with the relatively slow on set & what not.


But yea, edibles can certainly bring about a tranquil & relaxing stone at the right amounts....I also find edibles to generally be more psychedelic/dissociating then smoked cannabis is, at least in regards to larger amounts.



A low dose edible could be a proper chill time though :yesnod: .

Purple Kush is always a good sedating strain also Afghan Kush can give you a nice couch lock too :smile:

yep dosing it or finding the dosage that works for you can be tricky but when you get it locked in it's pretty sweet.


I would say eating is more on the psychedelic side and smoking is more on the dissociative side honestly. I tend to get derealization and depersonalization more with smoked cannabis. Generally more anxiety too.

OP, maybe discuss it with the folks at the dispensary?  Someone there can probably help you get something suitable for you.

I may be overlapping some of what's been said but:

Folks at the dispensary will be good guides (hopefully)

I'd stray away from Indica dominant strains, I prefer those kinds of strains for sleep if anything.

I agree that dabs give me a more functional high, I think it's due to having less of the cannabinoid spectrum present but don't quote me on that.

Stativa's would be my go-to.

Some of the tastiest strains I've tried have had lower THC counts, <14-16%, maybe something to keep in mind.

Stray away from edibles unless you're trying to get zonked. lol

It's too bad how I only know the names the growers call shit.  Before the strain name becomes so fucking bomb.

I would enjoy the less speedy and ultra high potency stuff.  Heady indica is my fav.
A hybrid that has mostly indica traits is my thing which is opposite of so many people.

"stay away from indicas" - so you get a clearer and fruitier high and less stoned?

Fuck that shit.  The best weed is a hybrid.  Indicas are gods medicine.  Mix them with tropical weed you got the best of the best.

g-13 bitches.  Get you some of that high potency indica dominant.

Makes me think of how the weed in west mexico was.  It was like speed.  I prefer to not have an anxiety attack from only a few joints, getting lost in the jungle.  Wishing my weed was less potent and heavily indica.  Good for hiking and not freaking out on acid, kind of thing.

hybrids are my personal favorite too. Not sure the growers term but Headband is a personal favorite of mine.

Yes they're medicine but if you're a normal human being you shouldn't need "medicine" regularly and you shouldn't need to "medicate" yourself over and over again, some of us like to get HIGH and so we look to sativas for more of a recreational fun/drug experience rather than an herbal remedy or medicine.
I'm not sitting at home medicating with a broken leg I'm out hiking trying to feel up and high while enjoying the mild novelty enhancement from the THCV.

Also G13s a tricky one because I almost don't even consider that one indica because it has such a unique and crazy head high. That is if it's the real G-13.
