Re: anxiety and mmj

I also use MMJ for anxiety. Here is where I'm at.

I don't think MMJ is going to solve anxiety problems. I know that for me, the feelings of anxiety are symptoms of other problems. I think any long term solution needs to address those underlying problems, if they can be solved. If they can't be solved, well the best we can do then is treat the symptoms. I'm sure the treating of those symptoms is different for everybody -- for some MMJ maybe good, for others it might not be good, for some it might actually make things worse.

MMJ will not cure the problem -- but it can make living with the symptoms a little easier.

For me, I wouldn't use MMJ while I was in the middle of a panic attack -- it would just make my attack worse. But fortunately, since I've been using MMJ I haven't had any attacks. But I have also seriously changed my life: work less, commit to less, exercise a lot, eat pretty healthy, get a lot of sleep, do more fun things ( which MMJ helps to do:smile2: ) among some other things I've changed. I wish I could afford to see a good psychologist, because I think that would also help me.

Both sativas and indicas work for me. Certain sativas and indicas irritate my anxiety, others don't. It sucks when I get meds that don't work well for me. Sometimes the same strain will be good to me one day and than effect me poorly the next.

Bottom line for me, I can't lean completely on MMJ to help me. It is just one of a number of things I do to get better. And I'm always open to the possibility that a time may come when stopping MMJ could be the right choice for me.
