      …you’re really gonna pull that? Order-of-word semantics? I’m simply pointing out that your statement is not universal. And you’re gonna reply with an “I didn’t say that”?

      My rebuttal is “Getting high does not reveal for everyone how arbitrary the connection is between how you feel and how well things are going…”

      Is that clear enough of a statement for you now?

        Whenever I talk about getting anxiety from weed, someone inevitably hits me with the “try a different strain!” as if I haven’t tried to mango strains, oil, vaping, and edibles lawl

          One thing that did completely take away my anxiety while getting high is CBD. More CBD than THC in a bowl and I have a great high. Give me straight THC and I’m more than likely not going to have a good time

              CBD itself won’t get you high, just get you chill. I enjoy CBD in itself. I use CBD, CBG, and THC everything. I only use a little bit of THC, more of the CBs.

              I guess CBD can get you a bit high but it’s not like you’re baked. You know you’ve consumed something. Although, it’s possible CBD in itself will do nothing for you. CBD is best when mixed with other cannabinoids like a small amount of THC or mixed with CBG.

                A lot of great research is going into CBD and I’m all about it. It shows all the positives without a lot of the negatives. The PTSD and depression research is especially helpful knowing how many of my fellow vets are suffering from such ailments!

              I also want to say that dry herb vaporizers played a big role in my anxiety reduction also. Being able to control the temp to get certain terpenes is great and the high and feeling is a lot smoother. I start off at a low temp and work my way up in one bowl so I slowly get all the effects of it all. Also greatly reduced the amount of bud I was using

          This doesn’t help. Just like some medications can’t be taken by certain types of people, it’s not outside the realm of possibilities that someone’s experience is different than the norm or different than your own. We should be helping, educating, and loving the experience, not denigrating those who have experiences outside of our own or expectations.

          I implore you take time to consider the person’s experience, and how yours may not be the only one, before insulting them for theirs. Nothing but love and kindness your way. Be well!
