Smoked from 1995 to 2024, when I switched to dry herb vape because of consistent headaches. I’ve had a few bake-overs from puffing a lot right before bed, but otherwise, nothing like whiskey. I know people who get anxiety from it, but I never seem to. :fingerscrossed:
Thx. I’m not scared, but I’ll drop it the second it starts to give me problems, if it ever does.
My pdoc is also a medical marijuana card… giver? I don’t know the term. I don’t go that route as recreational is legal in my state anyway, but it’s nice to have him onboard with my own version of ADHD treatment. He just advises against using it when we change treatment, but even then says that night-time use to help me sleep is fine with him.
I’m not sure you have had extensive experience with both substances. THC does not do the same thing as alcohol… That’s like comparing tylenol to fentanyl, imo. With that said, moderation is key with all things, both good and bad.
Different effects for different people. THC has been magic for my anxiety, keeping the overly self-critical voices and memories of embarrassing mistakes away, letting me actually enjoy moments instead of worrying all the time. I know some people who’ve developed paranoia when high, but thankfully that doesn’t seem to be a universal experience.

I have to be super careful about what I dwell on when high, or I spiral into just that. On the other hand, I find it nearly impossible to get angry about politics while high. I really wish I could carry that with me when it wears off.
Out with it.
THC eventually does the same thing plus a hefty charge of anxiety.

Most of the people I know that left with anxiety, came in with it.
Self medication.
Here’s hoping you don’t.

I’ll admit as much.

I found the right ratio of THC and CBD to be much better for anxiety with less short term (and likely long term) health effects than alcohol.
If I do THC alone then I get pretty anxious but everyone is different.
I’ve found that delta 8 makes me super anxious.
