Paranoia and panic attacks

[arne564]

i suffer from severe panic attacks when im not high, and im looking for something to treat them, i dont necessarily get panic attacks because of mary.
i was most recently using cerebus sativa as my medication,but couldnt handle the racey paranoia feelings,so i stopped using it,but two days later i experienced a very severe panic attack ,and i tried to use the cerebus sativa to treat, but it only made things 10x worse. im now experiencing some of my worst panic attacks daily and really need something to help treat them but im not willing to risk the medication making it so much worse and more horrifying.i need something to treat them,not make them worse.
im looking for a very specific high.and i guess hybrids would be okay but the only indica influence i want in it would be to take out ANY speedy,racey,skittish,shakey paranoia from the sativa. definitely absolutely no drowsy,chill relax and watch tv for a few hours,sleepy, downer affects from the indica. i just want a very inspiring,mouth closed smile,everything is okay,sunny ass day, i just want to go outside and feel the sunshine high,with no downwards pressure on your head.
i tried dj shorts blueberry and true blueberry and tried bubblegum.i found true blueberry to be too racey,blueberry to be too sleepy, and bubblegum made me more of cant stop laughing,whichi cant handle because it tends to enduce panic attacks during the uncontrollable laughter.
i really appreciate all the help


I've been suggested Indian Haze from Seedsman and I'm going to try it out. Has anyone ever smoked it?
edited for clarification

hmm thats a tough one I think.

Why are you so intent on Sativa only. If you have panic attacks/anxiety problems then I wouldn't recommend any Sativa strain. I'd recommend indica's.


Good luck finding something that works. I have problems with anxiety as well and I've never found a sativa strain that works for me. I go with pure indica strains or sometimes a strain thats like 70/30

DJ short apparently breeds with that specific characteristic in mind, maybe look into his stuff (F13, Flo, etc). Me & Dr B grew some F13 last round and we've got a Flo in flower right now in the grow diary linked in my sig.

Strawberry Cough is also a mostly sativa medicinal plant, good for that purpose. It brings on a relaxing and euphoric high, friends with the same problem said that it was a really good smoke for them. The cough that I grew was from Dutch Passion.

I got several different phenos out of the four plants that I grew and only one of them was a winner. The winner plant didn't smell like strawberries at all, more like sweet black currant and had the effect that I described above. The rest were not as good so you might have to look for that winner pheno.

i dont agree mate.the thing is that its causing terrible racy high,paranoia etc, the high feels also like its missing something in the high,the only positive with st cough is the smell nam nam
strawberry cough is just another hype strain
thats my experience with that strain

So I've been on a sativa search for awhile and I want to get some more input.

Basically, weed that is high on the paranoia/is racy/speedy/sketchy can cause a panic attack for me. That makes it much harder for me to find a main strain to make into a mother... especially because I am a sativa lover and it's hard to find a pure sativa strain without a paranoia/speedy feeling. The type of high that would be perfect for me would be a pure sativa with a euphoric/warm/HAPPY feeling and everything just makes you want to smile... with NO paranoia/speedy/sketchy feeling(VERY IMPORTANT). Yield, difficulty to grow, flowering time etc doesn't make a difference to me.

I've been looking for something similar.
I haven't tried this but it sounds promising.

Ace Seeds Tikal

75% Guatemelan sativa 25% kush/haze

Warm experience of body and mind, without agitation or anxiety.

 

[Kinderfeld]

Look into DJ short, White Rhino, Bubblegum.

I don't think you find that high, at least easily if you just wanted a sativa. The above strains won't know you down and will make you feel warm and smile.

 

[CannaExists]

I have had weed (schwag) that gave me negative sensations and in higher doses led to uncontrollable jitters. It helps to stand tall, stick your chest out, think positive, and remember weed has never harmed anybody in its history of use. You have to dominate the high and not let it dominate you.

 

[Oxirous]

Never smoked that strain, but I have heard that Destroyer by CannaBiogen is a 100% Sativa and has none of the side effects you speak of.

Thats weird i am recomended cannabis for anti-anxiety and for treating panic attack.

 

[willostat]

apollo is pretty good, no paranoia, blasted but lucid and clean. so are blueberry and crosses but they tend to be a bit more sedate. found haze x skunk wasnt noid at all but had a great take off, and killer.

ive seen plenty of people have panic attacks induced by cannabis myself included. Whenever I get panic attacks immediately after smoking weed I take it as a clue from the spirit of cannabis(if you will) to chill on the chemical escape and to face whats going on for a bit in reality land. I am being abusive. Then return to her when stuff gets straightened out, not as an escape mechanism.

focusing on breathing and muscle tension helps. observe 2 seconds in 2 seconds out. slow deep breaths. the rest of the body ie, pounding heart, and adrenals will follow suit. There are a lot of meditation sites you can check out, but it helps to view the breathing as a current and to note the slow rise and fall of your stomach....its also distraction from freaking out. you are reducing sensory input.

dont know if i would recommend alcohol to simmer down as ethyl skyrockets blood pressure. also, it has nearly twice the calories (7 cal/gr vs 4 cal/gr) of carbohydrates so there is an initial surge of energy that tapers into a depressant over time.

randude is pretty spot on about it being just you, succumb dont fight (just like good psychedelics, fighting it is a recipe for a bad trip). Weed heightens the senses, makes sex feel better, food taste better, music sound better and playing it more fluid, sunny days brighter and colors more vivid, you can be content with what otherwise bores the hell out of you. If you are a bit on edge to begin with, it can compound/trigger sensory overload at times.

Yah Apollo 11 is great. no paranoia, but stay away from c99 it has paranoia i think.

 

[b8man]

Satori from Mandala fits. Apollo 11 too.

Avoid Nep Jam though - can be great, but very paranoid in my 3 grow experience.

 

[boroboro]

I used to get the weed paranoia also, but not much anymore.

I found that using tinctures instead of smoking made a huge improvement.

The effects you're after.......

Basically, weed that is high on the paranoia/is racy/speedy/sketchy can cause a panic attack for me. I am a sativa lover and it's hard to find a pure sativa strain without a paranoia/speedy feeling. The type of high that would be perfect for me would be a pure sativa with a euphoric/warm/HAPPY feeling and everything just makes you want to smile... with NO paranoia/speedy/sketchy feeling(VERY IMPORTANT).

......aren't necessarily the exclusive property of sativas. And almost certainly not pure sativas. Since it sounds like noid-avoidance is your #1 priority, you ought to think more in terms of an indy/sat hybrid, or even a mellow mostly-indica with a euphoric/meditative (rather than sedative/couchlock) hit.

You know what you'd probably like? A nice, tasty Cali Orange Bud (30-40% sat) - or maybe a Serious Bubblegum pulled at 8 weeks (Simon's BG is a bit headier than the others on the market). Neither is mega-potent, but if what you seek is that sailing on a cloud, no worries, Bob's your uncle sense of well-being and calm.....there you go.

 

[THC•20]

Lol it might sound crazy but I'm actually looking for some stuff that sorta makes you a bit more "alert". Honestly either I don't smoke much Sativa or the hybrids are too much crossed with Indica because I rarely ever experience panic attacks. I had this bomb brick looking stuff one time that made me extremely paranoid but it was really fun. I'd trade all of my narcotic knock-out, depressing strains right now for just one psychedelic, long-lasting, mood lifting alert Sativa :smile:

 

[highsteppa]

I think GDP would be a good one to try, even though it is more of an indica type it is calming and happy without being narcotic...

 

[NoddaPuppet]

Pre98 Bubba Kush = Herbal Valium

 

[arne564]

I appreciate all of the replies.

The reason that I'm not interested in indicas is because even if it has the smallest amount of indica in it I'll get lazy/sleepy even though other people say that they are not. It's just not something that I'm interested in. For example, a lot of people say that blueberry has a very euphoric effect but for me, it just made me sleepy.im not interested in building up my tolerance on indicas.

Having NO paranoia,racey,speedy,shaky or skittish feeling is a very big deal. Just a very uplifting,inspiring,motivational, high that just makes you feel like everything is good and beautiful and makes you want to smile about everything,but not necessarily cant stop smiling, and definitely not one that makes it so you cant stop laughing because for me when i cant stop laughing i tend to start having a panic attack as im laughing.just a real warm high that just makes you feel like verythings okay. it doesnt have to be super entergetic but definitely something that has absolutely no laziness or downer affect.
