I tried sativa for the first time last night and now I feel super anxious and my ocd thoughts are kicking in. I never smoke. I feel so uneasy and my head feels weird.

I hadn't really suffered with OCD for years. I still bad the odd thought or compulsions but it didn't steal whole days or weeks anymore. I suffered with an OCD surrounding insomnia last year, but I didn't really realise that the insomnia had actually become the result of OCD and excessive worry. As a result I went to a private cannabis clinic in the UK. I got prescribed a day and night Strain. Indica worked wonders for my sleep but the Sativa made me really paranoid, didn't like it. When I ran out of the Indica I started using the Sativa as it was all I had - that's what's caused my HOCD to kick off again bit time. I will never touch the stuff again. I was in such a good place a month ago and I feel like I'm rebuilding the pieces once again.

I don't like them cause they will generally raise heart rate temporarily. Anxiety typically fades as the high does but yea the lingering effects can suck. Once I've had an anxious moment I feel like I need to reset myself no matter the trigger. I stay with hybrids or indica but generally lower % is better tolerated until your tolerance is built up. Also I super recommend cbd/thc mixes. They are great for relaxing and staying functional and generally stay in the body.

I can’t even walk past someone in the street who is smoking it.
