Anxiety Best strains for anxiety?
-
Hello everyone, I'm curious about your suggestions for strains that might help with anxiety. Is it possible that a sativa could increase anxiety compared to an indica? I appreciate all your assistance. I understand this is quite a general query.
-
Sativa and Indica refer to different varieties of plants, and their names bear no relation to the impact of the herb.
-
Sativas are often criticised for causing anxiety or paranoia, but the effect can vary between different types. I recall the first time I tried Silver Haze, a time when I was just starting to smoke. Before that, I predominantly consumed Indica-dominant hybrids, but this strain gave me the most relaxed and enjoyable experience. Ultimately, it's all about personal preference. You need to discover which type suits you best. I don't believe there's a significant difference between Sativa and Indica.

Based on the information, varieties rich in linalool, limonene, and a-pinene could potentially achieve the desired effects. This might be most effective when used with a vaporiser, which can be set at the optimal temperature for these specific terpenes. Given this, you should be able to locate a suitable option on a cannabis information website or similar platform.
-
The best suggestion would be to conduct your own research online and begin cultivating. The effects can vary from person to person, so what works well for one might not work as well for another. Strains that are predominantly Indica are likely to be the most beneficial, although some Sativas can also help, but could cause anxiety if not used sparingly. Many seed suppliers offer the option to filter by treatment type.

IME Terpinolene is something you should get familiar with. Don't hesitate to make its acquaintance.

Generally, sativa strains of cannabis tend to provide a cerebral, energising effect, while most indica strains induce a calming, sedating experience.
Previously, I had to wear a cardiac monitor due to occasional adverse reactions to cannabis that almost led to fainting. The frequency of these episodes varied, from not occurring for a month, to happening monthly, or even each time I used cannabis for a month. I found that sativa strains, known for their rapid effects, triggered these reactions more often. On the other hand, I experienced these episodes less frequently with indica strains like those similar to the relaxing varieties found in Australia.

The question of whether sativa induces more anxiety than indica is subjective, as it can differ from person to person. However, both strains have the potential to provoke anxiety. It might be beneficial to investigate CBD strains with a CBD to THC ratio of 1:1 or 2:1.
-
I've discovered that CBD works more effectively for my anxiety. THC, on the other hand, either makes me anxious or causes me to sleep.
I recently purchased 20 seeds, but now I'm considering giving up on my cultivation and instead start ordering CBD hemp.
Ironically, this consideration comes just as cultivation has been legalized in my region.
-
In terms of managing anxiety, I've personally found that either indica or balanced hybrid strains work best for me. Sativa strains often cause my thoughts to race, which isn't the best scenario when I'm already battling anxiety. Certain strains that lean more heavily towards indica, such as Granddaddy Purple or Northern Lights, have consistently proven effective in promoting relaxation without being too overpowering. Strains with a high concentration of CBD or those with a 1:1 THC-CBD ratio have also been beneficial.
In terms of convenience, there are several commendable delivery services available. I've previously explored the options for cannabis delivery and they typically offer a good variety of strains that are well-suited to managing anxiety.
