I have my medical card for anxiety and insomnia. I always "thought" I liked sativas and the "upper" high they give you until I started growing myself. My last grow I grew some 100% sativa and harvested with clear trichomes and it made me want to quit smoking all together. When smoking my anxiety went from mild to extreme and I would sometimes have panic attacks this went on for weeks before I decided to stop smoking and now it's been a month since I last smoked and it's been a sleepless month to say the least. I'm not sure if it's because I was smoking sativa or if weed itself is now causing anxiety. If anyone else smokes for anxiety and insomnia what strains would you recommend? I don't even want to smoke again if I'm going to feel that way again.
I'd suggest harvesting when they are mostly cloudy/Amber if you have anxiety problems. My last sativa was harvested when they were still clear, and the high was extremely heady. Not all sativas are like that, but I think you'd be better with a hybrid that leans towards sativa since you think you like the sativa high. Anxiety attacks are definitely miserable. A pure sativa may generally make your mind/heart race
Sour D its a classic, it helps with my anxiety and sleep. If I read correctly you said you harvest with clear tri's, that's your problem. It's undeveloped THC. You want a head high harvest when they are cloudy, you want a body, "couch" type high harvest when tri's are Amber. You can don50/50 also Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Probably because the trichs were clear but sativa is speedy anyway. what im doing now is very calming to hit you.... You feel it in your whole body....it feels like someone is pushing the top of your head and you forget the last 5 minutes every 5 minutes. Thats a indica dom.
Ya man you want indica to calm you down. I feel you, I also have bad anxiety, and it took me a while to realize that indicas helped and sativas made it worse. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-medical-marijuana-growing/1353929-mopheads-purple-closet-adventures.html
A pure sativa my friend is not "speedy". Have you grown one? It takes on normal 16-20 weeks flower Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Thanks guys. I guess I never really got a sativa Dom strain before growing it. I've always enjoyed a nice joint before bed or before going out for a few drinks and this shit had me going crazy lol. I've smoked daily for almost 7 years and this shit made me quit lmaoo. It's been almost a month since I've smoked. I have 3 sativas growing now and 3 indicas and I think I'll get rid of the sativa to other patients once I harvest them and harvest a little later rather then pulling them when they are clear. Thanks again guys
He means a speedy high I think Like mind racing 100 miles an hour don't know wtf to do with yourself high. Or atleast that's what it did to me lol
If you decide to keep them, run it for ISO hash, or process for edibles, edibles would definitely be less likely to scramble your head.
Sometimes sativas give me anxiety if I'm going to work or something but I just sprinkle a little indica in with it and it actually helps a lot.
Lol I made edibles to last time. Took over 3 oz of dried trim and 2 lbs of butter and ended up with 4 small Tupperware containers of butter. I took 2 of those Tupperware containers and used it in a recipe to make 45 cookies and holy shit did i get fucked up. I ofcourse doubted the potency of them and decided to eat 4 for my first time 30 minutes after they came out the oven. 2 hours later I thought I was dying 😂 never been so high in my life. Also made some other edibles and let my buddies try them and now none of them will eat any edibles I make anymore. Everyone that tried them freaked out. After that I made sure I only ate 1-2 at a time and always spaced them out atleast 45 minutes
can't wait until my grow is dialed in enough so I have the extra to process into edibles and still have enough to vape until the next cure is done.
I just used all my trim. My first grow I made butter the second grow I made about 10 grams of oil with everclear.
I like using everclear because it's edible and I don't want to take any chances. If there is anything left I know it's not gonna kill me lol but It cost 35$ for 1.75 liters and is illegale in some statesI'm sure ISO is cheaper and more accessible
If you have psychological issues please take those up with your doctor first. Let him know what you are doing and listen to him. There are proven medications that help with specific doses for your issues. These guys telling you anything different do not have to worry about the long term affects and are making ignorant recommendations unless they examine you and know exactly what and how much you are being dosed. mental issues are no joke. I would tell you not to smoke until your doctor pin points which anxiety disorder you have. What did your doctor recommend? Maybe I am way off base and he recommended you smoke some miracle weed, but somehow I doubt it. good luck and best wishes.
You are. Just in case you are confused. http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/drug Be responsible and make sure this guy gets the right help, not some stoners voodoo. Maybe he should rub some Rick Simpson Oil on his temples, LOL!
