Medical marijuana for anxiety

Posted by iamunwell @iamunwell, Sep 3, 2023

Has anyone tried medical Marijuana for anxiety? I know THC can make it worse, but I've read that higher amounts of the CBD can maybe help. I'm at the end of my rope.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Depression & Anxiety Support Group.

I do not have a prescription I live in Illinois in purchasing marijuana is legal I have found benefits. The employees of Dispensarys are knowledgeable. Speak with them about your issues, and they likely will be able to help you. It has worked for me anyway everyone is different.

My experience has been that while THC can calm anxiety quickly, it can lead to more anxiety and paranoia later. I like RSO far more for just relieving anxiety. RSO, short for "Rick Simpson Oil" is a cannibals derivative that most dispensaries should stock and be familiar with.

Following! I had a stroke over 10 years ago. My muscles and bone health have struggled. I take D3 and muscle relaxers, but I am so stiff. It can be painful at times.

I have Parkinson’s, I was diagnosed five years ago. I use medical marijuana THC gummy’s for sleep. I started using CBD and THC in one gummy. I am now taking 30 minutes before bedtime 1/2 THC gummy, Wild Cherry High Dose Indica gummy.(Missouri’s Own Edibles) I use one 1/2 gummy. I cannot believe how they help with sleep. I use Missouri’s Own Concorde grape 10 to 1 CBD/THC Sativa four anxiety when needed. I have a movement neurologist at Mayo clinic that told me he couldn’t prescribe Medical Marijuana but had patients that really liked it. He is well aware that I am using medical marijuana for sleep. Please let me know if you have more questions.

I should add that CBD has helped me greatly as well. It lowers anxiety and helps lower my blood pressure too. I use the RSO only for extreme anxiety and in the evening if I want to really relax. I can work while taking CBD, but not when taking RSO, which really dulls performance.

I thought sativa was activating and could rev up anxiety. No?

How do I find out how to get medical marijuana?

Google "medical marijuana legal in what states" to find out if your state or a neighboring state has legalized medical MJ". In Maryland, you would then have to get your physician to approve you, and then register with the state - a bit of a process, but worth it! Other states will differ.
