So I've been considering whether or not I should take up smoking the weeds for my anxieties. I know weed has different effects on different people, but has anybody heard of people using weed to ease their anxieties?
I've smoked weed before and I'm just not as huge of a fan of it as many other people are, and hardcore stoners that worship weed irritate me, but do you think it could possibly help with my anxieties? I refuse to take any pills that are prescribed by a doctor because I personally don't trust them. I also hate the idea of having to take a pill to function properly. I don't like the idea of having to smoke weed to function properly either but my anxieties have become a real nuisance and I trust weed over prescription pills.
What are your thoughts?
PS, I'd rather not listen to ultra biased stoner opinions who praise weed like a miracle drug. (though I have yet to see stoners on here that praise the weed like a god)

It all depends man. Just like u said it effects people different. It makes some people’s anxiety worse actually. Paranoia is common effect for some. But alot would prolly say it can help. I smoke high quality weed on a daily basis. I hate pills too. Can’t stand them. I don’t exactly do it for anxiety tho… I just love gettin stoned lol. I don’t do other drugs. I mean, I drink, and occasionally eat some shrooms. But that’s it. To put it simply… It’s worth a try. Can’t hurt right?

I just need to get into a place where I'd feel comfortable smoking it. I do know that I'm less paranoid on weed though.

You just might have to find your strand man. Sativa is best suited for people who generally like uppers. It can energize you and is more of a body high than a head high. Indica will make you feel a lethargic, sleepy, heavy headed buzz. For anxiety….Me personally, I think a 50/50 mixture of sativa/indica works the best for me. Like iLL said though it be best to see a doctor about it. It's hard if it isn't legal in your state to differentiate between strands. People will take a strand and give it a different name, or give it a name because they don't know what it is. If you get it from a sanctioned place then the different strands are reliable…There really is a difference between them, much like the difference in various apples. Just keep experimenting, do research. It just may no be for you at all…..
It can't be any worse than zoloft, xanax, or prozac man…Hope it works out for ya

See a doctor about it, if your state has legalised medicinal marijuana for anxiety find out.
I don't have the money or insurance to see a doctor and my state hasn't legalized marijuana. I don't trust prescriptions doctors give me because they have always given me weird mood swings and usually have fucked up side effects. I've been miss prescribed too many times as well.

I smoke hella good weed, but every time I go to reup my dealer is always like “we got white raspberry widow and chocolate thunder thia” just all kinds of crazy names. I always feel like the dude from Grandmas Boy like “look man I just want a bag of good pot” Outta curiosity, how much is it for a QP of high quality shit for y’all in your home state?

When I get a steady income and have a place where I can smoke it comfortably I will try it.

I have anxiety, I suffer from panic attacks, I've had depression for over a decade now. I've taken plenty of medications that the doctor or therapist prescribed me, they all didn't really do it for me. Side effects, mood swings and anger. I've been smoking for a few years now, it helps me out. I don't get angry, I just get content and alright and groovy. Just do it somewhere safe when you're alone or something. Weed is the miracle drug but like my cousin, marijuana doesn't work for everybody. Hopefully one day it'll be legal here in PA. But I guess you don't wanna hear it from me. Give it a try, maybe it'll help.

I read in a high times about six months ago that it may have cured cancer. There was a young boy, can't remember his age or name, who was ridden with it. The chemo and other methods didn't work and they had no hope left. Well they start giving him hash oil…The purest of the pure. He went into remission and survived. Don't know if there is any truth to it

Well I just googled it, and there are quite a few articles about it. There are actually quite a few cases of it now. Problem is no proper long term studies have been done on it. Who knows.
