Weed and Anxiety

[briangumble]

I think I have social anxiety, and I heard weed helps you with anxiety, but I also heard it causes anxiety/paranoia. I ussually only get anxiety at certain situations like at school, and I was thinking about eating some weed before I go to school to reduce my anxiety. But I don't know if this would be a good idea or not. I've never been high in situations where I had anxiety, so I don't know how it would effect me, and I don't want it to worsen my anxiety. I feel like it would help, but I don't know. I tried taking a few shots before I went to school once, and it helped with my anxiety but it made me all slow and shit, and I don't know if weed will make me slow too because I never notice when I get high. If I take weed before I go to school I'm gonna eat it, and I haven't smoked in a month so I don't have any tolerance, and I have some kush. I never ate weed before so I don't know how much to take, and I don't want to be all fucked up as high as I can be. I just wanna be between buzzed and high. So should I take some weed before I go to school? And what would be the pros/cons?

yea man it'll fully relax you out if you eat it, if you have anxiety, i highly suggest eating it, you'll feel coooool, caaaalm and collective....

Recommended dose for eating it is about 1 gram on a firecracker. Check out Cannibiscool's firecracker thread to see how to make it. They're so easy to make and get you fully baked, but baked enough so youre still in total control and no anxiety.

highly HIGHLY recommend it!

i have alot of social anxiety problems too, and i'm kinda naturally parnoid from the way i grew up, and depending on where i'm at and what type of strain i take, weed can help or it can make it worse. personally i cant go wrong with strong indica's because it numbs me, like it makes me feel so good physically that i feel good mentally also, but still with a clear mind so that helps me when i have to be around people, but if i smoke a sativa and i'm around people or in public...that shit is like torture for me, the feeling i get makes me want to never touch weed again.

i havn't ate weed yet but i'm going to try and do it really soon because i've heard its a very good body high.

I just don't want anything negative to happen if I do this. I don't want to take too much weed to the point where I laugh and say stupid shit every 5 minutes and look like a pothead, and I don't want it to worsen my anxiety either. I really want to be sure that doing this will have a positive outcome, so if anyone has any success stories with weed and anxiety that will help a lot.

The number one reason I smoke herb is because of my high anxiety/stress.
It really helps me out,and after trying herb to cure this,I'll never look back.
Try smoking it or eating it,both ways are surefire ways of helping you.

if your that worried try it at home first, i mean you wont really determine the anxiety part because your gonna be in a comfortable surrounding at home, but you'll see how well you can function and handle things.
