Well this girl I know wants to maybe try weed with me, but she has anxiety. Has anyone here who has anxiety smoked weed? And if so was it still fun?
For me, if the anxiety's going to kick in (and it's not all the time), it kicks in when my high is wearing off, then I just smoke more.
If she's with you and you're in a chill environment she would probably be fine
I've never had this. When my high starts to wear off I just get kinda tired but that's it.
try indica like most kush strains, not sativa.
Just let her hit it a small bit at a time. If you pace yourself smoking, you won't have a high creep up on you, meaning you won't freak out. All should be well, otherwise.
it's weird how everyone "bad trips" and gets paranoid with sativa. i love both but sometimes i'll get indica mids that just make me tired and irritable and shitty feeling about my life for no reason. I'll just feel too groggy and overwhelmed and I can't deal with people.
on sativa I'll get some mild paranoia, hearing noises late at night and shit, but never anything serious.
As zeem said, go for high CBD indica strains, as CBD is an anti-psychotic.
She will be fine. You're going to want to explain to her that getting high for the first time is going to be really intense and that for it to be enjoyable, you just have to go with it. Tell her that it is impossible to OD. Also make it clear that you want to dismiss any bad thoughts immediately because they are 99% of the time delusional and self created.
Admittedly there is a chance she won't be fine and freak out. It is her fault if this happens granted that you did everything you could.
I've never really had an issue with anxiety and weed. Some would say that I am overly cautious, but I don't base anything in delusions.
The second time I smoked weed, I felt like I was gonna die,my chest hurt,I couldn't speak,I felt dizzyy,it was horrible,all this why?because I noticed my heart was beating way too fast and then I believe I had and anxiety attack because of that.I've never been diagnosed has having any anxiety disorder,but all the symptons I normally have match.So,just make her relax,that will work just fine
I have major anxiety issues and still smoke weed, nothing bad should happen.
sweet thanks for the help! good to know it probably won't put her off it for life haha
It wont, it's just marijuana man.

Yea I know, but some people I know don't like doing it at all because they get way too paranoid.
Helps my anxiety problems.
so is the consensus basically that indica is for pain and anxiety, and sativa is for getting high and maybe depression?
Indica works better for depression and anxiety, the higher CBD amounts makes you happier and more relaxed.
Sativa can induce paranoia and anxiety much easier than indica, so I think it would be counter-effective for treating depression. Especially in strains with higher THC and lower CBD concentrations, where panic and anxiety comes pretty easily for those who are inexperienced or prone to it.
Both are for getting high and having fun, but indica is more relaxed and happy, more of a body-high, while sativa is more mindfuck and "hey let's go do something!"-kind of high.
I get worse anxiety when I'm sober than when I'm high.

Well I like the sativa high more, so Sativa makes me euphoric, while I tend to "feelsbadmon" more if I am couch-locked by indica and spend the day doing nothing!
yeah a lot of people use sativa for depression. i definitely prefer picking up sativa. indica makes me feel tired and irritable and shitty for the rest of the day.

if you don't smoke much weed i can definitely understand liking indica more though, I guess. the night's just over for me after a few bowls. i'll get too tired and hungry and interacting with others always feels awkward. I get really self conscious.
I have general anxiety disorder and the first time I tried smoking weed I freaked out. It was pretty much the symptoms of anxiety times 5. Although it may not of helped that I did it during lunch and walked back to school while high. But after I've gotten used to it smoking then going to public places I don't even feel anxiety, I'm actually more sociable then I usually am mostly because I just don't care what people think. So just try to do it in a private place at first so she isn't paranoid about that guy down the street washing his car somehow knows she's high and is going to tell her principal.
slip some ghb in her drink
The last 3 times I have smoked I have had panic problems... I was laying in my bed last night laughing my ass off at a chip then all the sudden my mind switched and I was freaking out. Really strange actually...
What do you guys think about smoking weed with a heart condition, considering that it can affect your heart rate and blood pressure (not trying to hijack the thread)?
My best friend didn't know he had anxiety, smoke a bowl together, and it triggered the anxiety. He had to go to the ER and tell them what happened, andthey said he had anxiety and anything could've triggered it at any point, it was just the weed was the trigger for him, and this was christmas 2010, and he's just getting back to school now after being excused from school because of his anxiety due to the weed for all the months between then and now. Just let her know what COULD happen, because my friend got really fucked up and had to tell his parents hence the ER trip and the following events. Just an experience i've had that might add insight for you.
I have anxiety, but when i smoke, it relieves it.

The exact same thing happened to my friend. He had a panic attack or something, his heart was like a jackhammer.

Haha yeah it was actually on Christmas. It's a funny story so I'll tell it. My friend was at a Christmas party with his family (Christmas is also his birthday) and he told me he'd be at my house around 12ish. My older brother and his friend Brenden were bringing the goods (a tin of dip since my friend wanted to try it, a 30 bag of weed, his bowl piece, and some special cigs to celebrate christms/friends birthday). Wait, let me make it easier, we'll call me (me) my friend (jay) my brother (andy) and my bro's friend (brenden). So jay got to my place and we chilled for about ten minutes and hetold me all about how his family was drinking that night and he snagged a few beers. Then andy and brenden get home so we sneak out through my sunroom and walk down my street to this spot in the trees thats secluded by the beach (the beach is literally a 3 minute walk down my street).
So we pack the bowl and pass it around, smoke our cigs and start to walk back. It's about 3 in the morning by now and we're finishing the cigs, all stoned as it was a fat ass bowl and just laughing and admiring the fucking awesome winter night sky. We get into my driveway and jay grabs me and closes his eyes and stares at the ground. Now he's about 180 pounds and 6ft tall. Im 5ft4 and 110 pounds. He holds my arm and won't let go, and starts yelling at the top of his lungs "help guys help!" outside at 3 in the morning on christmas night. while he screams and holds onto me im punching him in the head becase im high as fuck and freaking out cuz my giant friend is gonna kill me lol. he snaps out of it and says he felt like his body was asleep but he was awake in his head and he couldnt wake up.

Aaaaaaand that's why you don't smoke laced weed.
it wasn't laced because we passed the bowl around the four of us and everyone but jay was perfectly fine, and stoned. jay had anxiety, hence the reaction, and why it's relevant to the thread
