Intros New user - first session in 20+ years symptom question?

[tomfretwell]

Hey,

Received my first prescription and just finished a session as instructed on prescription. I have not had C or MC in any form for 20+ years. Definitely feel slightly agitated and a little anxious. I know this can be a normal feeling in my situation but coming from someone who is taking it for anxiety and sleep, should I be put off by this initial experience or do you believe this is worth pushing through to reap the rewards once acclimated?

Glad you've received your meds now and some meds may make you feel this way but the chances are it is related to you not using Canna for a long time and hopefully these feelings will pass pretty quickly but personally I'd wait until they do pass before having anymore and it could be strain related as I do get these symptoms sometimes as a result of trying certain strains or strains with certain terpenes in .
Hope this passes quickly and you find it settling when these feelings pass

Welcome to the Forum @tomfretwell and congratulations on becoming an MC Patient.
Sorry to hear you feel a bit agitated and yes this can be down to the cannabis but should settle down for you. If Vapourisering your flower if thats what you've been prescribed the Temperature can play a part in how the Cannabis effects you and type of flower you have been prescribed.
Hopefully you feel a little better now as it usually passes the feeling you described, after all its been a long time since you consumed cannabis. If your bothered by the effects, mention this to your clinic if your not happy with the effects are are uncomfortable with

There's definitely some tolerance building to take into account, and I would say that vaping is stronger effects-wise than smoking

But as @GrownHealth said it could also be an indicator that the strain is not best suited.

I would give similar advice, go slow, maybe even reduce the amount being used in each session to help see if it's a tolerance thing

Temp of vaping can also play a part - lower temps more cerebral, higher more body, you may also want to experiment with higher temp if you had it on lower and vice versa

Going to take a bit of experimenting but definitely go low and slow, and speak to your doctor if you have any ongoing concerns

Add some CBD into the mix, The onset can catch people out and different terpenes will have differences in onset usually after 30 mins it mellows , Its finding the correct profile that suits, I think CBD base can make you tolerate certain terp profiles and THC %. Cinnamon milk from cookies has a very nice onset and mellow duration and perfect for anxiety.

This is probably the best thing to do to / try first to be honest

It's completely normal for your body and mind to overreact the first few times if you have zero tolerance built up. You won't remember it in 2 weeks!
