If you are going to try it, start with small doses first. For me, it makes my anxiety worse. I only ever smoke when I know I am in a good mood and happy. When I am in a bad mood, it makes me feel SUPER anxious.

I took indica edibles for a few months to help me fall asleep. Never really had a bad experience with the indica edibles, but I did with hybrid ones. One day I went out and took too many and had a really bad experience. My anxiety shot up and I had very vivid intrusive thoughts. I ended up in the emergency room. I think only the CBD is what really helps with anxiety. THC may cause the opposite effect if you take too much.

And it also depends how it works if you're on medication!

I agree! I’m sorry you had to go through that. I took a hybrid 5 mg gummy once and that was definitely a lot (also it was my first time).. some mild hallucinations, time distortion, shivers, talking loudly, and breaking out into a cold sweat.

It depends on the person. Just don’t use it as a crutch.

I would say it has never helped my anxiety long term. I will say sometimes it’s good to use to let loose for a bit. I will say though be extremely careful with the dose. I am an experienced user and I can’t do more than 5mg at a time. I would say try finding edibles of 3mg or less if you can, and try to get them from a reliable source like a dispensary. Take the small dose the first time you try it and don’t do any more than that. If you feel very little or nothing. On a different day try a little more but still keep it under 5mg. Also have what you are going to do planned out. I like to listen to music in a pitch black room or watch an indie movie. Edibles kick in in about 45 minutes and last about 4 hours, peaking after 2 hours after eating it. A low dose with chill vibes will allow anxiety to wash away for those 4 hours.

Thanks so much! I appreciate it and yes 5 mg is a lot for me too.

gummy incident
So something that kinda pops up with my anxiety is about a year or so ago i ate an edible gummy after not doing anything for a while and i tripped out really bad… for example i thought i was gonna overdose and die, and that i was already dead.. that is the most fear i have felt in my entire life, and even though its over and has been over i have this constant fear in my mind “what if your still high and this is all a dream” or “your gonna wake up and it will still be that night” i never wanna feel that way again. i can’t even go around the smell of weed with out freaking out. i can’t take pills, or vitamin gummies because “what if it will make me high” when it comes to sleeping i wanna try this dr teals sleep blend but i struggle so much with it because of my mind saying “it will make you feel high”.. even when i feel tired i feel scared cause it reminds me of feeling high.. its just i feel so stuck with the same reaccrujng thought “this could be the time you wake up and it was all just a dream” “you could wake up from coma and this was all imagined” i don’t know what else to do, its my own mind no one can help me and that sucks i don’t know how to win the battle when it’s such a deep rooted fear. i feel like im pushing my family away. i feel so numb.

Sleepless in Sleep Anxiety
Hi everyone! I’m not sure if anyone has had any issues with sleep and anxiety but these past couple of weeks I’ve been suffering with anxiety when trying to sleep. My mind will latch on to the idea that I won’t sleep and I’ll continuously try to fall asleep and end up psychoanalyzing everything im doing . Usually I end up freaking out and not sleeping and waking up with maybe >2 hrs a sleep a night and have an awful day the next day. I’m lowkey hopeless in this situation, I’ve tried melatonin, sleeping early, limited screen time and nothing will work.. does anyone have any tips and tricks on what to do?
