High anxiety strains? Is it me or the weed?

I get soul crushing anxiety from sativas. People have told me that if you keep smoking it eventually “goes away” or “you get used to it”

Im not trying to get used to that. It’s absolutely horrid. I’ve never had any of those issues with indicas.

That peppercorn trick is new to me too. I’ll have to try that the next time I feel like I’m spiraling out of control.

I don't know what it is man I'm the same way which is funny cuz all I have is statito right now and it's straight kief and I'm about to go smoke it so you know I'm about to f****** go crazy for the next 4 hours but it's all good haven't smoked in a couple days so but yeah it does seem like the more I do smoke it you kind of expect it you know what I mean but it doesn't necessarily make it better

Im sorry and I wish you luck. I always find myself trying to figure out how I’m going to escape the universe when it starts to collapse on itself and the hopelessness of the situation. Lol. It feels so ridiculous to type out but in the moment it’s the most terrifying thing ever.

I feel you, i hate the whole "you'll get used to it" mentality. Yeah with coffee, or onions in your food. Not with psychotropic substances, I prefer to immediately and fully enjoy those.

Ok so I'm high now and anxiety is there but not like it normally is I do think the anxiety I have now is from me EXPECTING their to be anxiety....my minds racy BUT I think its just things I needed to think about anyway...the problem is sometimes I do get delusionals thoughts (which arnt true) me thinkin I'm the sent messiah or something I take the idea and run with it...not saying we arnt connected to God (or what have you) but we're human...

Now the body effect I'm kinda shaky but I realize i always am when I smoke this strain so that's normal I also get this shaky feeling In my chest

Legs shaky slightly increased energy edgey

I lowered the dose so keep that in mind
So goin into I was determined to overcome this problem which I think helped me

never heard of the pepper under tongue

but have tried and can recommend lemon or citrus peel or essential oil. something about the lemon terpenes helps calm u down.

on that note everyones chemistry is different and can have different responses to the same plant. I tend to prefer sativas and sativa dom hybrids. indicas tend to make me just want to sleep, I usually just save those for night time. but anything with Tangie in it for instance cuts right thru my anxiety in the am, charges me up energy wise and makes me super productive. on other hand most Haze crosses will send me on a anxiety roller coaster I just want off of. so really just gotta find what works for you.

Is this a real thing some varieties give me anxiety and I feel others don't....is it me or the weed? Please any inputs are greatly appreciated...
I was asking myself the same question. I recently finished curing some Orange Sherbet. Now, I haven't smoked weed for many years so when I rolled my first joint I only smoked quarter, ya know to take it easy... 10 mins later I went insane?! I have to now limit my hits to 2 max or the high starts getting unpleasant and my anxeity flares up, I wouldn't even entertain a bowl or pipe. In truth I'm not sure what I was thinking, THC for this strain has a potential for upto 25%. Now back in the day I'd be lucky for a fraction of that.

Personally I think there are many factors in play. Certainly the strength of the weed plays its part. State of mind at the time of smoking. I get anxiety attacks where I've had them before so getting one as I got high means probably manifest again. Experiance is also a factor. I used to be able to handle freaking out but now, this shit feels unmanageable.

I think I may go for an Indica dominat next time as I love to smoke a joint, being off my mash after a few hits aint my thing. Just got to get through an oz of this mental shit 1st.

Hope you find what you're looking for
