Welcome to the Community @LPCFX. An Indica Hybrid strain is usually the way to go regarding Anxiety. You can get balanced strains but I've not tried any of these as I know they wouldn't work for me as i have a lot of issues on top of this condition, but they may for you. There are plenty of balanced oils if they are any good to you.

Welcome @LPCFX and sorry to hear of your previous bad experience but the positives with MC is you can be more measured as your post alludes to ,there are a number of balanced strains new to us just recently and I have one being delivered tomorrow so I will know more personally then but I will be using it to help keep anxiety at bay and honestly it could pay to be guided by your clinicians on this regards approach starting again on Cannabis .

A terpene that helps a lot us with anxiety is Linalool and it may be worth considering strains containing this to see if it helps like it does others .

That's the trouble with BM as you don't know what Terpeniods are in the buds so that can cause unwanted anxiety. Strong Sativa's can cause anxiety or bring it on if your head is a bit delicate. Have you always had an adverse effect to cannabis, Or did you have a one off melt down trying to get relief with cannabis?

Thanks for replying so quick and i appreciate the help basically during covid i ended up having some sort of anxiety breakdown it was so bad i was going into panic from pretty much anything and everything like a loud car exhaust would go off and it would put me in fight or flight mode. I used to smoke a lot before then probably 3.5 G every two or 3 days and for around 10 years.

Since that anxiety spurt ive never been right since this wasnt triggered by weed itself, but after this experience weed and even tobacco triggered instant panic attacks which caused me to stop smoking. During the times i was smoking I used to be able to source weed off the DW and i managed to get girl sout cookies and a few different strains at that point i was ok with it. but i was combusting it and with tobacco . One day i ended up having a bad panic attack from a joint im pretty sure it was some random street stardog i picked up off a guy at the time and then pretty much every joint i had after triggered it .

Post quitting smoking i managed to get these gummies which were distillate based and they were really calming and amazing they were 30 mg and i used to have half and that did the trick perfect but the guy i used disapeared and i was never able to get them again. Its since been around 3 hears since ive touched any type of weed product but u have a constant baseline anxiety like it never goes away and i want that chilled feeling from weed again so im trying to look for some low THC stuff to vape which i never tried and oils and edibles etc its annoying these pharmacies dont let you order in small quantities because i will be able to tell instantly if something isnt for me but ill be stuck with 10 g of it or a full cart or 14 gummies that are useless or 30ml of oil that is pointless me having.

Surely the idea of medical is you find what works for you condition and you stick with it . Anyways this is probably proper oversharing and no grammar at all but thats everything. Any tips tricks anyones found with the same kinda problem as me would be much appreciated i dont wanna get blasted i just wanna take the edge off and dont want just CBD

Also sorry i dont get the abbreviation BM ? What does that mean ?

Black Market and it's just non legally supplied like say of a mate etc

Black Market mate, i should have put that in brackets lol . Thanks for sharing your journey with us, it helps us all to try and understand and help you. My Anxiety isn't as bad as yours but I do have triggers. There will be some nice people here in the community who could point you in the right direction. There are Medical Cannabis Gummies available if they've helped in the past. Definitely stay away from Sativa's though mate they will definitely trigger/worsen your condition, I do know that for a fact. Hopefully your Consultant will help you lots too, let them know about how covid effected you, there were a lot of people like yourself and me where covid worsened our condition/s. You've made it this far so well done mate

thanks very much for the help guys . So just out of curiosity would you say i would be much safer trying a lower THC bud with a major terp Linalool and balanced CBD i did find one strain on Montu the Curaleaf lunar circus . 7% THC and 7 % CBD Hybrid ever had experience with that strain? i think i may try that ontop of the oil the doc recommended theres also the curaleaf jack gerer carts id be interested in but im just cautious dont wanna get ahead of myself ordering a dry herb vape , battery and getting oil then finding i can no longer have anything plant based . Ive kind of got it in my head that when my brain is in anxiety state it takes a snapshot of my current situation and i think i was probably high so my theory is with very low THC i can get the edge taken off whilst almost giving myself exposure therapy . I also think because im now fully in the clear in terms of the legal side it takes that anxiety away from it but its a step in the right direction . It may be that med bud isnt for me and im ok with that too i can still appreciate weed to the fullest extent its an amazing plant and ive met loads of cool ppl through just having a chill. You can tell i havent been a stoner in a while i probably wouldnt be bothered to write huge paragraphs like this

Yes mate huge paragraphs , you seem to know what's safest for you, that's a great start, I would carry on from there as good base to start your MC (medical cannabis) journey and take it from there. Your doctor will be cautious with you too as to what he will prescribe you. If you feel your first prescription isn't quite hitting the spot, let your Clinic/Consultant know as he will just your medication accordingly. Take notes, don't try to remember everything if your meds aren't hitting the spot, we or most of us have all been there where our meds aren't quite hitting the spot

On the Lunar Circus we've had mixed reports with the bud quality being called into question but some have got on well with it and a strain a few use or have used in the past that is mild in overall effect but good for a few in helping keep anxiety at bay is T20 Lavender Cake and some really take to this strain as it's calming but not overpowering at the same time and could be well suited taking the edge of whilst you build a tolerance and get accustomed to a new way of controlling your symptoms .

Curaleaf® T20 Lavender Cake

Lavender (aka. Kush or Cake) is an Indica Hybrid Hybrid strain (70% Indica/30% Sativa) created through crossing the potent Big Skunk Korean x Afghani Hawaiian x Super Skunk strains.

Hi @LPCFX,

Welcome to MedBud!

Ive seen the chaps recommend some good options but I just wanted to throw my 2 cents on something aside from strains and that's temps.

If you're super prone to anxiety I would really recommend starting your vaping sessions at 140c and going up to a max of 175c until you're comfortable with how you feel.

A lot of different terpenes can make your anxiety worse and a lot can make it easier to manage but sometimes the THC is the issue (hence why you're getting some recs for balanced flower).

THC starts to vaporise at 157c, so keeping it below 155c is probably a wise starting point especially if you're using THC dominant strains without much CBD.

The 157c is not binary though, it's just a point where THC starts to vaporise and the hotter you get the more THC you will extract and the faster you will do it. Some studies suggest 155c-175c releases minimal differences of THC compared to 175+ whilst also providing the benefit of other terpene boiling points like Myrcene (anti anxiety) start at around 172c.

My advice to anyone prone to anxiety and unable to get CBD/Balanced strains is to vape within the range I've listed above until you're completely comfortable with your experience.

 

[LPCFX]

can’t thank you guys enough for the advice ! I’ve never known about the temps thing that is super useful and I will definitely look at the strains suggested I’m sure something will work I just wish there was a cheaper way to try different things it see,s mental you have to buy 10 g of flower that might not agree with you . My next step is actually getting a dry herb vape I’ll probably go with a q Max v3 but I’m just trying things out so I don’t want to spend too much on a vape just yet even if someone had a second hand one I could obtain and get new tips for it would be useful . Also just waiting for the script to land with Montu so I can order hopefully be tomorrow / Tuesday . Regardless you’ve all been so helpful thank you so much !

Hey LPCFX and welcome to the community ! From what I've read so far and from what my experience is so far I would recommend the Lunar Circus as I found it worked well however it wasn't quite strong enough for me but from what you have described it might for you !? Balanced strains is what might be worth looking into first of all, however, they're like rocking horse shite !
I wish you all the very best on your MC journey and you're in the right place for sure !
