I thought smoking weed gave me anxiety but now that I don't have any weed the anxiety really has truly shown itself

Dude it’s the weed. Try more Indica dominate. One trick I use is to keep a heavy pure indica that I mix with Sativa to make a mixture that is good for me. If you grow something that gives you anxiety that doesn’t mean you have to just give it away. Do like I said and mix it with a heavy indica

I used to get anxiety when I would smoke joints but when I switched to vaping it became much better. Each strain will give different effects. I would look for an indica dominant strain to chill out with.

I'm an old time smoker that used to be able to smoke as much weed as I wanted, if I got too high, I got too high comfortably. But after a few years, I found that smoking large amounts of weed caused anxiety, racing thoughts, etc... Basically, getting really high isnt pleasant for me, which is very easy to do with todays strong herbs.
So, for me getting "stoned" has come to an end. I micro dose now, just a hit or two until I feel good---then I STOP ! Works for me.
Side note: I'm not alone, I know a lot of long time users with similar stories. I've also heard Cheech (or Chong not sure) mention that this happened to him as well, almost like developing an allergy to weed after long time use.

Blackstrap from Gnome automatics(formerly mandalorian) is great for anxiety. Purple as hell too.

I'm exactly the same way. I've noticed for quite some time that if I over-medicate, I get a negative net gain. I have the racing thoughts, persistent thoughts about some shit I really don't want to "see" in my mind, or think about, and because of that, I can't go to sleep.

Yeah man, exactly how I feel for the first 20 mins or so, jittery and nervous and I cant stop thinking about all the wrong things. On the plus side, a few ounces of good weed lasts me forever now. I'm growing one plant at a time and I always have leftovers from previous grows...

That is exactly how it is for me without weed.
My thoughts can be overwhelming and disturbing while straight up sober. After a joint everything calms down to what I call "normal"

Yep, that too!! I'm dry right now because I didn't start another grow after my last one, and JFK snagged my beans from Herbies. Still haven't gotten a refund from them. Man, it sucks being without weed!!!

yes and no. some strains will guide you in that way but unless you have something to be anxious about it will just make you want to do things you might jump from one thing to another or stay on that thing. but if you are scared of something or you have some problems in the background it will come a huge pain and panic...
example you smoke its illegal where you are and you hear a sound your fear of getting caught will develop a paranoia and you will be in a bad trip.

I went 21 years mostly dry working my ass off trying to "live right". Don't remember most of it now. Seems backasswards to alot of people i know, but since I have been able to use medicinally for the last few years, life have progressively gotten better.

This could be very true, its legal to smoke at home were I live (Virginia) but I'm rushing my smoke sessions trying to hide the odor. So, I'm starting my high off slighty nervous.
Now here is the interesting thing, If I get too high there is only one fix that works for me. Sex. Sex takes my mind off being too high quickly ! So, I'm having a lot of sex these days....(And weed is GREAT for this)
"Honey" I got too high again, can you help me out" ! Life is good!......

When I first started smoking weed, I could get as high as I wanted and smoked large quanitities often. After a few years, I started to notice that my body was reacting to weed almost as if I was allergic to it. Anything more than a few hits caused racing thoughts, anxiety and nervousness.
There was a magazine article many years ago where one of the members of cheech and chong discussed this "allergy" or reaction to weed. Apparently many long time users have this problem...Its pretty common, I know many people that dont like smoking weed because of this...
So, although I smoke, I cant smoke a lot and prefer strains that are on the mild side. Going to a Indica or Kush strain helps a little but not as much as everyone makes it out to be. I can get very nervous and edgy if I over do Indica's, Sativa's are slightly worse but not that much.
So I'm older than most here and have friends from the 80s that were huge smokers back in the day. I bump into them from time to time and guess what... NONE of them smoke at all because it makes them nervous..!!!
The trick? Smoke less ! Vaping is good too because the high comes on greadually and you can stop before you over do it....I pull out my bong from time to time, but its almost guarateed to make me a nervous wreck if I take more than two hits.....
Oops, I guess I already posted to this thread, sorry ! It did feel like DeJaVu for some reason...
