Sooo do any of you smoke when you're anxious? I just got super anxious all of the sudden, and instead of taking my pain medication, I went to smoke some dope. I'm super relaxed and not anxious anymore, and the pain is lessening a lot. Plus the high is really good, lol. But yeah, just wondering if you guys smoke when you're anxious, or if smoking makes you anxious?!

No, I'd never smoke in general. I believe it worsens anxiety regardless to anyones popular belief, if you take weed to support your anxiety I don't think it's actually working.. Much like the Placebo effect.
You're taken marijuana to cure your anxiety this making you believe it helped and believe you need it when ever you go somewhere, it's like when they give an addict of Paracetamol an empty pill and they still think its working. Take the pain medication, or at least try shorten the pain medication and do some natural meditation, do some yoga, something other than drugs.
But my opinion can't change your life, to answer your question as you probably guessed (lol) i don't smoke when I'm anxious, i used to suffer severe anxiety as a child but joined an acting class. It makes me anxious seeing people my age doing that shit though here in Britain.

To be honest this is basically me, the affect of "curing anxiety" only works when in a small group of friends or on my own.

Really? It might be the strain of weed you're smoking! Sativa helps reduce anxiety I believe. I only smoke Sativa plants, haha.

Ahhhh I see. This was nice to read tbh. Thank you for this.

I agree with this tbh. I'm on anti-anxiety medications and their effects kind of don't work anymore. :/
It's actually proven marijuana helps people with anxiety, the effect might be different in every person but it does help, pain killers obviously helps with the anxiety but the side effects make you feel like ten times worse.Joker said:

You know.. I've heard this for years, my friend used to argue about how healthy marijuana was because its a ''plant'' but you wouldn't go and eat a Rosary Pea now would you.
Rather than smoke a product I believe kills the brain because its 'a plant', I'd rather eat a plant-based diet and look at healthier options. I know Sea-weed helps Anxiety, as does Almond/Soy milk. Maybe treat yourself to some Chocolate Soy Milk from Alpro? Keep hydrated and remember that everyone is human.
I don't take pain-killers either, again natural remedies can come in.. Honestly. There are so many things in this beautiful world that can help, study my friend.. don't jump to what you've been told. A past friend of mine, same said friend.. he took Weed for 7 years and still does to this day. I have dreams, he has nothing.. he honestly seems brain-dead.. like unhuman, his only interest is Weed.. he can't keep a job, no one likes hanging with him, he smells very very bad, his eating habit is terrible, his joints seem majorly fucked, he doesn't dress nice at all.. but who knows thats judging 1 person, although I don't really know 1 person that takes that stuff frequently and is in good health.
Well what you say is true, any natural remedy is better than any drug, I'm just saying that in some cases marijuana can be better than pain-killers.Joker said:
and thanks for the information about the soy milk and sea weed, i might try a diet or something

I've never seen it personally, my sister is a huge addict to weed and suffers worse than anyone else. I understand where you're coming from though, different people for different things.. I just know about the scientific proof that weed causes memory loss and stuff and it always scared me.
