For me as long as I its an indica I'm okay but when my anxiety is high smoking doesn't work very well mostly I just can't hold in the smoke long enough because I tend to hyperventilate when I am anxious so I make cannacaps which has given me my life back.
I guess everyone is different. But i find the really heavy body stones seem to tip my brain into paranoia, as if i associate a heavy body with bad feelings. On the flip side ive had some really racy highs that did the same but not nearly as bad, but only because it made me not feel relaxed, but generally the sativa highs if they arnt to strong im far more comfortable with.. Strong indicas put me into very dark places for a longer time.
Strength is a big thing. In saying that though, ive eaten very very potent hash cookies and the high seems to be different again, very body stone but without as much headfk, there is still some, but its more controllable.
I also agree with waveguide. If you are prepared before getting high you can tame the anxiety feelings. Also take note of things that may start you on the paranoid/anxiety path and try avoid them, or atleast recognise them so you can be sure that you are prepared if bad thoughts start clouding you.
Like for instance i find just watching TV to be a bad thing at times, because it seems to such a brain deadner i start getting introspective, to avoid it, i go find something to do, usually head outside and find some people, or do start removing weeds from the gardens around the house or similar.
Really, if its to hard for you to control these feelings and the come frequently, and its really bothering you, it might be time to hang up the bong and take a big break. Better to be on the safe side of your mental health than constanly stressing yourself out.
Hi Mr. Coco,
I have the exact same problem as you bud. I have very bad anxiety, causes me to have an upset stomach and throw up a lot. I decided to start growing because all the herb I have access to makes my heart race too much and I get paranoid. I'd like to suggest Apollo 11 from Joey Weed. It does a great job with my anxiety, no paranoia whatsoever. A very creative smoke, I can talk forever after toking on an Apollo 11 spliff. I did a lot of research to find the right strain, I really like this one. I have also heard a lot of the Mandala genetics are great for anxiety. I have never grown out Mandala, but if you check out the Vendor-Mandala threads I'm sure you'll find what your looking for. Hope this info helps, take care

I have the same problems and you have to trust the people you get seeds or herb from they can just say its "Blueberry" when its a "100% Haze".
I find that any pure indica is great and people are saying "FLOWER for 1-2weeks later... dont do that you want a nice mellow high for your heart, Id suggest a Afghani strain flowered for 45-55 days.
Also exercise,diet,and just being healthy in general will help your problem.
Smoking always brings all the shit I tend to hide to the surface. Either smoke more so you're always dealing with the shit head on or just tell yourself you're a grain a sand in the world. Always works for me. Smoking just makes you more self aware and perceptive to EVERYTHING around you. If Orange Bud does you good, maybe try some Cali O? I can vouch for it being a very mellow and pleasant high, I don't get body off it or nothing. But yeah, I feel you man. Sativas tend to noid me the hell out. Gotta agree with you on the Cough though dude, really good shit though isn't it? And yeah, I wouldn't suggest Durban at all...
blueberry pretty good for anxiety. also northern lights.
and a tip - when you get paranoid/anxious after smoking, just lie down for 15 mins and accept the racing heart/panic etc. then it will wear off and you should be nicely stoned.
i think the transition from straight to high can cause anxiety in itself. stay stoned or stay straight!
in the very worst case scenario, it might be best to give the herb a rest. take care.
hey everyone first of all i just wanna give thx for all positive vibes u people bring,this is my first thread ever on a forum .icould never imagine such good response that i recieved,
people in the same situation as me etc,thx alot this totally made my day
the thing is when i smoke i never need much just one puff in a bong thats it,if i smoke more i feel like im about to colaps,it gets way to much,i been using weed for ten years every day and never smoke more than maximum0.1- 0.2 gram a day
i always grow 100% organic and its vry often i harvest in week 7 cus it gets to heavy if i let them flower for 8-9 weeks,,i must be vry sensitive :/
like my last grow i had to cut them in week6, caused by complications still the weed was to strong and gave me paranoia,if someone call me at the phone or knock at my door i freak out,man thats not the way it shall be like,and start thinking of negative things that happen in my youth,i know its totally wrong but my brain cant stop,i know i cant live in the past but i do cant let it go, sad but true
i think i need a strain that is not that strong, for example jack herer frome sensi seeds would probably be way too much for me,
maybe a kush would be great 4 me never tried that before
i was thinking to order frome my local seedshop and saw they got sensiseeds-kindu kush,anyone that have tried that if its good etc?
the strains im thinking to order is
1.mandala-satori
2.DP-durban p
3.sensi seeds -hindu kush
4.sagarmarta-western winds aka kali mist (i think)
5.mandala-white satin
6DP,blueberry -i know dj short is way better but the seedbank only got dps version
i shall pick one of them six,the seedshop that i have in mind dont got so many to choose frome so it have to be one of those six
i know i could order frome some international seedbank but man it gets me paranoid. done it before and im not doing it again,couldnt relax when i grew it
i just wish i could find that strain that helps me ,
ok thats all for me people now i shall try my new strain(hybrid) genetics=whiteshark+orangebud+nlx i breed it for the incredible resin production and the great feel no pain in my back cind a feeling lol
take care averyone and thx once again for u suport
one love to u all
try a clone of purple urkle is you can get one, i can't smoke it because i can only "be" on it, every thought vanishes. impossible to write or talk. it was an interesting few weeks though.
still i'd say medicine might make things more or less apparent, imo letting go of demons is my responsibility, not the weed.
you could try turning off the phone and refusing to answer your door. at first that makes you more paranoid, "what will everyone think if i don't answer," after a while i got used to it, "i'm creating a safe space for me."
then you know that no matter who is on the phone or at the door, they're going to have a hard time getting in of course ymmv.
peace.
*edit* - oh thanks
i'll add another "freaky" thing - i use visualisation on my plants. they take a while to grow, flower and cure, so when i plant the seed i would say "this will help me with this," and get a good amount of time ahead to let my subconscious kick it around.
plus you never know, might be the plant understands and sympathises, peacebringers they can be, so i treat them as best i can
i'm pretty sure all 3 of the kushes that work for me are clone only so you need to get to a club or find someone with clones if you want those. also after reading everyones responses since yesterday i thought i'd add- watching tv used to be ok because the girl i was with drove me fuckin nuts so i would medicate and always watch something funny and we could be in the same room together and nothing negative would usually happen. finally got rid of her and got way more into music- so i'd medicate and sit back sing/yell or play some air guitar and play with my dog, once again all positive. you should find the music that moves you and makes you feel good, then kick back close your eyes, shut out your brain, turn off phone! get headphones if you don't wanna hear the door knock and crank it up, you'll hear so much in songs you've heard a million times. this is the best thing i can do for myself, i took up playing bass and now i spend my time doing that instead of tv- and i've never been happier.
peace
the best strain for anti-anxiety is bubbakush(pre98), great taste, and has some body high to it as well, also have smoked some piff, from nyc that is just pure joy, only real haze i love that doesnt have any paranoia, i would highly suggest getting ahold of some of that smoke if you can...
the thing is that there is impossible to get clones where i live believe me lol
its not everytime i get paranoid when i smoke only with some strains and ofcourse how much i smoke,
when i do my small hobby growing i stay at least 2 hours a day and give the plants a lot of love ,i love to grow and take real good care om my babies
hope the image work
this is my strawberry cough f2 .did not even use guano as nutrition this time only good soil and water,

[/URL][/IMG]

garbage can next
yeah maxwell actually i do play guitar, quite much all the time lol
no more tv for me 2 ,maybe some videogames sometimes
relationship like that sucks,been there to
i had to choose between my girlfriend or growing a pack of strawberry cough
i choosed growing lol and then it turned out that the weed was just as bad as she lol
mrcoco, your best bet would be to chop your plants after maturation. early plants make things more active, racy.
mature plants are .. guessed right, at top of potency.
if you wait till that point and then let them go even longer, the thc degenerates and the turn becomes very calm.
i let some strawberry cough sativa phenos go for 2-3 weeks without light or water as a test, the results were pleasing in terms of anti-anxiety, although i would recommend letting the plant go unter lights till its ready (for you).
i'd very much like to see your article/source for this statement please.
just for my own purposes.
but yeah, small amounts of a good sativa i have helps me (take a hit, chill, take a hit, chill, etc.) or a good indica. i've found that getting a high, not getting super blazed, while havin an anxiety attack helps as well.
peace
