i think you'll find all of those issues are reasons. funny enough with anxiety some cannabis will work and some wont. the terpenes involved can swing the high in many different ways.

So why didn't you just ask for help with your issues?

Don't you think it significant that when you asked the question that you had specific issues in MIND, but didn't want to mention them? People can observe behaviour over time and make their own judgements. 

Repeated behaviour of calling people obese for instance... The compulsion to label and denigrate others in order to feel better about oneself. 

Why not just ask if anyone is using cannabis for ADHD or anxiety etc? Then you may have received the replies that you were seeking.

Just a suggestion. Don't launch into a frenzy of name calling over it.

Dont take out your posting frustrations on me George. I have worked most everyday of my life since I was 30. Thank goodness I did not have to resort to being a janitor. Now get back to your mop, or get your arm into that toilet bowl.

It's interesting to read here about the reasons to consume cannabis. And nobody cares about killing the last cells in one's brain. Maybe thinking is not possible anymore?😂😂😂

We know you use it because of being highly strung and on the spectrum, does it keep you calm?

Codiphen...Only use it once or twice a month, but it works a treat.

25MG of Doxylamine Succinate, an OTC antihistamine works really well. Non-addictive or habit forming and no narcotic effect.

Codiphen (Diphenhydramine hydrochloride) is what I use and it's also a non-addictive antihistamine. 👍

Unhealthy practice, smoking. Why exactly are you posting/lurking on a Cannabis related forum?

Severe ADHD, as a Stimulant Cannabis actually has the affect of calming my brain down. I have Insomnia, so it helps my head to wind down enough to sleep.

 

I also use it for pain management. I don't eat it, it processes differently in the Liver and I'm not looking for that "high". I don't use vaping either.

 

I prefer Indica strains with higher amounts of CBD, the newer strains have way too much THC for me, it makes me paranoid 9 times out of 10. I like the cheap ditch weed, it does what I need it to do and is generally cheaper than the "party strains".

 

I'm hoping to get a medical card when I move back to UT and the wife can grow it for me in our Garden.😁

In my opinion, the feeling of paranoia is really just a sensory trigger related to the slightly elevated heart rate that typically occurs during the first half hour from any of the higher level THC strains. 

 

Since, in everyday life, a sudden elevated heart rate often occurs from being frightened, startled or worried about something, the subconscious mind will often associate that sudden increase in heart rate from the cannabis as something worrying that then triggers a mild feeling of paranoia. 

 

I think if you acknowledge this then it becomes easier to manage it and normally, after half an hour, the anxiety dissipates and moves into a more relaxed and happy feeling.
 

I also noticed that if I consume more cannabis two hours later, after the initial dose, then that elevated heart rate doesn't occur again and I just get that nice smooth sailing feeling. 

 

I do prefer the stronger THC strains though because I find it more difficult to get a solid relaxed and euphoric lock in place from the weaker stuff. 

 

Also, by ingesting a cannabis infused oil, the onset of the THC effect is progressive, rather than hitting all at once (like when you smoke it) and, thus with the oil you end up avoiding that initial burst of elevated heart rate and paranoia all together.

I've been dealing with tinnitus, and it's definitely not easy, especially when anxiety and stress kick in because of it. To help with this, I've started using CBD.

I use CBD from Releaf, a cannabis clinic here in the UK (currently residing here) that I've found through Cannabis Access Clinics. And it's been part of my routine to help calm my nerves when the ringing gets overwhelming.

   I smoke cannabis – Sativa – in mindfully measured micro-doses in order to encourage Exercise and thus restore my health. 

 

   I am 74 years old, and aging tends to make one chronically achy, fatigued, and lazy.  I  have long suffered from Fibromyalgia and, more recently, from crippling Sciatica pain from lumbar disc herniations.  (I refuse to take narcotic pain-killers, since they tend to be addictive and dumbing.) 

 

   But a micro-dose of two tokes of good, strong THC Sativa, and it makes me Move, to get off my lazy butt and work out.  The Tai Chi sessions immediately after are unparalleled for mindfully exploring all my aged muscles-joints' sore spots, working them out carefully and comprehensively.  The follow-up stretching, yoga and mild calisthenics get me ready to move out – primarily long marches and stair climbing, often with hand weights.  Excelsior! 

 

   Thank you, Thailand, for allowing me to use this fine Medicine.

   I have written previously on this matter on this forum over a year ago: 

 

 

 

Where did you learn your tai chi? Sounds very much what I'm looking for.
