Hi, it me.

I struggle with anxiety and I've never understood the appeal of weed because it's always made me feel so much worse.

@Sparrow As someone who also struggles with anxiety, I use weed to help me relax and take the edge off said anxiety.

Different strains work differently on different folks, though; your milage may vary. ^^;

@mawr I've been told indica strains might be better for what I'm looking for. That being said, taking more than 10g thc puts me in panic attack mode. I feel like I can't breathe, my body's twitching, I overthink everything, and can't complete simple tasks. :V

@mawr er 10 mg I think I meant
Show threadAwooest MawrMay 16, 2017
@Sparrow Yeah, more than 10 grams would make you super dizzy and then put you straight to sleep. ^^; 10mg is an average dosing for a regular user, as a note. I would usually recommend starting at a 1-2mg dose and see how that settles before trying more. Some strains are just plain more potent than others, though.

@mawr that's a good idea. I still have a /bunch/ of the chocolate I got from a friend; 15 mg per piece, and there's about 12 remaining pieces. I'm not entirely sure how I would measure it out, since the chocolate tends to crack or shatter instead of cut evenly.

@Sparrow When it's chocolate edibles I'll usually just break it into chunks and guestimate dosage as a fraction of a piece. ^^

What brand is the chocolate? CA has some of the highest quality edibles I've ever had. Kiva bars are my favorite. ♥️

@mawr I think I had a bit of a kiva bar at a partner's house once! But no mine is tcho... Which is incredible quality chocolate. :3

@Sparrow I haven't done it in a few years. But it really varied a lot depending on specific strain of weed for me. Like some I felt placid and stoned I guess, and others I felt super mentally active but also a bit more prone to anxiety?

Also if I took a break or just got caught off guard I could get way too high and uncomfortable.

It seemed really variable but I guess that's the "mileage may vary" tag.

@Sparrow weed relieves my anxiety initially, but dehydrates me which triggers my anxiety later

@paulcbetts yeah the dehydration is a big problem for me too. I have type 1 diabetes and usually "I'm thirsty" mean "my blood is super high" so it causes me worry.
