Does smoking pot help with anxiety?
Question:
Answers:
It's been many years since I've smoked, but I remember having different reactions. Sometimes I felt really mellow and laid-back, and sometimes smoking made me feel really anxious and paranoid.
I know you can become dependent on it to calm anxiety and even to go to sleep. It does work temporarily.
I personally think every1 is different. I believe 4 some yes n 4 others it may cause paranoia ... I believe it helps me personally but ... what do u do when u cant get any u know - so its kinda hard 2 say unless u can always have it
no it will make you more nervous,at least from my experiences.It helps you sleep at night but thats about it.
I recently read an article that they are now finding that smoking pot isn't harmless at all. They are finding links between pot smokers and forms of psychosis. I imagine when you are all stoned you feel pretty much nothing, but once you come down your anxiety is still there with depression on top of it to boot. I would consider stop smoking pot which is harmful whether or not you choose to admit it and seek help from a doctor for your anxiety.
yes but for a moment. once hooked the damage will exceed the benefits. please avoid it like the plague and try warm milk and honey instead.
well, in the long term NO
one of my friends had really bad anxiety and started smokin pot, she said it made things better, at the time
but afterwards, once it wore off it made everything worse
and eveyone else could c it was messin her up as well
There are so many different varieties and there are so many different ways it can be grown that the CHEMICAL MAKEUP of what it is you would be "smoking" would vary depending...
In retrospect many of the people who smoked such in the end of20th-start of21st centuries where actually smoking FERTILIZER.
HOPE IN A CLEANER PRODUCT
and hope in considering the EATEN MODE versus smoke...
For some smoking a clean "stable" variety may be OK and it may suit them well... for others it may cause more problems...
It could help you deal with anxiety for a moment, but it's not going to teach you to learn to cope and solve the problem at hand. In fact it could become a crutch that you lean on and make things worse-- besides, for the amount of money it would cost to get high every time you had a panic attack you could afford the much more effective drugs a shrink would provide.
I have never smoked pot but my husband was addicted terribly to it.I never seen it calm him down at all if anything it was the complete opposite he was always paranoid about everything but everyone is diffrent.I do know that it is very addictive regardless of what people say so i would stay the heck away from it.If you wnt something to help relax you try an over the counter sleep aid first,and if that dosent work go to your dr and im sure he can prescribe you something thats going to work for you and 2 isnt going to be illegal and cause you jail time
For over 20 years i have tried to control anxiety by smoking pot and the answer is no. Cannabis will only give you temporary relief and is a short-term solution to a greater problem. Please don't make the same mistake as me and end up smoking 30 joints a day. If you truly suffer from anxiety then do what i have done and should have done years ago - GO SEE A DOCTOR - Anxiety disorder is a recognised psychiatric disorder and is treatable and curable with prescribed medication and psychological help. Cannabis could cause you paranoia and psychosis as well as your anxiety problems!!
frankly my dear, yes, it hase for me.and on pot making you feal paranoied? the only reason peple get paranoied is because its illeagal. If they were to leaglize it paranoiea would drop to nearly none. as with any herb some may have a weaker tolerancy twards it as others would have a stronger tolerancy. canabis is an herb it can be used as a medicinal treatment same as catnip, dillweed, clove, or green tea. alwase remember, herbs (not meaning spices but it can be that too.) are the same as any medication too much is bad,too much of any thing is bad. as long as it is being used in moderation for medical treatment It wont harm. thats why cancer patents and peple with sight problems are percribed canabis sativa. I hear other countrys have or are in the prosess of leaglizing it for use in mentaly ill patents. The good out weigh the bad.
Depends on the potency and your mind set at the time of getting stoned. Moods can range from agitated, paranoid to laid back but all the feelings are only temporary and after the buzz fades youcan be more anxious than before.
Only in the short term it also causes paranoia so don't do it.
