Panic attacks paranoia and deperssing thoughts

[trailanimal]

No it does not have to be pure indica, thank goodness because pure is hard to find. I like to stay with the 70-80% indica strains, a lot available. I think the key is to just get away from the sativa dominant. I use cannabis to try to slow my brain down, I don't need a damn stimulant. Already too freaked out most of the time anyway, get my head going any faster and shit goes down hill fast.

hear that, I even need breaks from coffee, gas on the fire

Another thing not mentioned yet (or maybe I just missed it cause I'm stoned) is dosage.

One of my best for me strains works wonders after 2 or 3 hits max and it lasts and lasts.

But by 2 hits I am nice and toasted and if the pipe is sitting next to me I might hit it another 3 or 4 or 5 times over the course of the next 30 minutes or so without thinking.....

Then it will cause a real paranoid / head rush kind of trip for an hour before settling down to its normal effect.

Maybe only a puff or two is all you need of yours ?

I know how it feels to have a panic attack and it sucks sooo bad. A little over 20 years ago when I was 18 I got some super stinky roadkill skunk smelling weed, so strong it made your nose burn a little just smelling the bag . Anyway I hit it just like I had always smoked and about 5 min later I was in a full blown panic attack, thought I couldn't breath, that my heart was going to stop, pretty much thought I was going to die. If I remember right that went on for about 30 mins to an hour before I finally started hyperventilating and passed out lol. Needless to say I quit smoking after that for a long long time, really just started back up about 4 years ago. I was always afraid that it was going to happen again.
So long story short is just to find the strains that work for you, and always be careful with new ones if your still worried about anxiety/panic attacks, and as the song goes "Take it Easy"

Well wasn't expecting a response like this guess where all fucked up in our own special way
thanks for all the input you have all give me a lot to think about and research
Never thought about trying different strains
I have always went for the higher the THC the better but MJ is a hell of a healer and she has so much to offer
Mabey it's my tolerance level and I am over dosing I do hit it hard when smoking alone or mabey it's the strain or my fucked up head but like You guys have said there is a lot of different qualities to look into for self med
It's gonna fun finding a strain that's right for me I have tried to repond to everyone individually but if I haven't sorry
I Appreciate all the honesty, input and effort form everyone

I even would recommend to NOT SMOKE but VAPE! had an experience which was unpleasent, not passing out but really hard chest pain and heart racing to the fullest- felt like a piece of sorry shit- (think the weed back than wasnt clean and my overall living conditions not the healthiest) and then i quit smoking - didnt touch weed for more than 6months and then started vaping. Only use medical stash and no burning stuff anymore -tobacco can benefit heart problems also and doesnt let u feel the real high of a strain- speaking of a strain i would recommend you to tray wappa/paradise seeds or nycd/soma seeds, lemon diesel/emerald triangle seeds or some kush- made me all feel comfortable all the way, but its all photos. the wappa do stay the smallest i think.

Have you seen/tried this site?

It's an interesting resource.
I use it just to research what strains might be good to grow.
