Good strain for anxiety?

[Anabolic1979]

I have anxiety problems myself and can't smoke certain strains. I've had good results with OG#18. I've personally tried straw cough a few times and had some paranoia so I never smoked it since. It's all very personal.. Everyone is different.

It varies from person to person although there is a general idea of certain strains being good or specific to anxiety sufferers . For myself i try to keep around a CBD rich strain especially if you find a variety of strains making your paranoid ... smoked alone or mixed in with another strain . The CBD will help balance and protect you in a sense from the psychoactive effects of the THC . I find that potent THC strains can overwhelm me quickly , especially being a new strain i may have never had . I stick with more indica breeds but some sativa's work for anxiety if you work well with sativas . I would see what strains your dispensary has for the issue ( should be indicated or at least suggested at any good shop ) and then hit up leafly to see the reviews on that strain .. testimonies of anxiety prone people will be in there if it works well for it .

I've found edibles never give me a feeling of anxiety if they are balanced well with cbd*. Though I haven't had anxiety from smoke now for years. Who knows you might find your reaction changes overtime?

Strains that work for me and the whole anxiety thing.

L.A Confidential
Green Crack - More for high tolerance smokers I would think
Hawaiian Haze
Girl scout cookies
Headband - If your used to the headband feeling, sometimes that trips ppl out alone.
Thai Lights


Lots of em, just preference, and taste if you're like me.

Green Crack is a pretty potent sativa . I never knew it helped with anxiety i was always anxious just thinking of trying it ... i used to mess around with sativas when i first started medicating but i had a wild trip off them . I do in general but sativa overwhelm me quickly i suppose , lot's of distorted perception and reality for me .. its really trippy and feels horrible . I am however interested in trying head band to see what it's all about but i will be cautious with it ... i wonder if it would trip me out xD great advice though .

Honestly, I always thought it was Indica. The effects for me anyways felt Indica.
Now I'm a tad confused

You can find both ! the sativa green crack will really add fire works to your day though . I would suggest trying it first on a day off or something if you are more like me . If you have a high tolerance though and / or work very well with sativa's ... it will be a dream for you i am sure even the indica hybrids i had were pretty powerful ... i was heavily medicated , more so than i enjoy .. started to trip some off it . I get this rushing pins and needles sensation i suppose it is running through my face and tingling down into my body , like a wave of it that repeats and feel out of touch with myself and reality when i am too fucked up . I can't handle sativa's or high doses like a lot of people but if you are good to go..... green cracks a good choice or even sour diesel for that matter . Enjoy! i am an indica guy though , helps a lot with my pain! a short and sweet dose of pink kush or happy kush and i am golden . I had some nice Chemo a few weeks back which works wonders but for me i had to cut the dose short since it was a power flower ( in my opinion anyways )

Interesting. I will keep an eye out for a more sativa green crack.
I'm big on the Indicas also. I don't mind some of the sativas though, which is why I suggest Thai haze and hawaiian haze. Pretty uplifting and happy high, not really any anxiety or paranoia I found.

I tried this new strain called Dillinger that was exclusive to its dispensary members, and my gosh! I swear all I taste is caramel and butterscotch... yet it kicks you in the ass so hard. I hope they breed it/sell seeds someday. Really unique.

I use kushes to feel less stress and anxiety! Usually puts me on lean and I'm able to watch a tv show without thinking of other shii while watching it!

if they ever do , now because you told me that ... i want to have it ! if it's really that potent i will have to ease into it slow but it sounds delicious and i like good meds with top notch and unique flavor profiles . I am sure we all do though xD

A nice rich old school hashish for me. Mellow. I have Lebanese I have been waiting to grow for straight press bricks of personal. I'm not big on bud.

Any new ideas on this old post? I have not smoked for a couple years now because of the anxiety issue. I haven't really found any strain i liked when i had my medical card 3 or 4 years ago and i tried a lot! I still have probably a lb or more vacuumed sealed and separated. Honestly i smoked a lot 20 years ago when i was younger and it doesn't seem to have the effect it once did. Now that Massachusetts is legal i could really try to find something i like. I feel like im wasting all that medical stuff i've put away but maybe i could make edibles out of some of that only problem is my wife is afraid that will stink the house up real bad or ruin pans or bowls? I really dot know anything about making edibles. Any ideas on strains that have more of a opiate effect? Also where should i look for instructions about making edibles from flower for beginners? Thanks
