Hi Jim,

I tried medical marijuana in CA (before it eventually became legal for all). My Dr. prescribed it for persistent anxiety, and to eventually help get off benzos, specifically clonazepam.

I don't recall the name of the strain of weed I bought. I smoked a joint (an entire joint, like we did in the 60s) and was struck with paranoia and an extreme case of dry mouth. I sat in a recliner for a few hours, drinking a lot of water and waiting for the paranoia/anxiety to pass.

So the weed had the opposite effect of relieving stress. Now to be clear, the last time I smoked weed was in the late 60s, early 70s. I think we were smoking leaves in those days, and not buds as is done today.

I also noticed the weed today has a very unpleasant smell, again, very unlike the pleasant smell of weed from the 60s.

My question for you, and anyone else - is it possible to get the kind of weed we smoked in the 60s and early 70s, with a much lower THC content? I always felt good smoking that, and yes, got very hungry.....

I also tried smoking less weed, taking as low as one hit of the new stuff - but I still got horrible dry mouth and felt very anxious.

Thanks Jim!

Joe
