Stay away from anything Sativa Please

It's true a lot of strong sativas might not be what you're looking for, but I'd recommend Mandala Seed Co's Mandala #1.

A local shop has it, and it has a very nice, comfortable high without nervousness, paranoia or disorientation some strong sat's can produce. The Mandala isn't the last word in potency, but it's very pleasant smoke and could help the right person with anxiety I'm sure...

I use only upbeat, energetic sativas for the OP's issues. Granted, you'll want to avoid the psychedelic variants.... at least for regular all-day medicating.

I can't touch indicas for anxiety. *shrug*

Stay Safe! :tree:

If you have schizophrenia I would advise you to stay away from pot completely.

If you must use cannabis why are you wanting a Greenhouse strain? Sorry I've no experience with their strains.

Some of the suggestions in this thread may help.

thanks for the link man it was helpful! if you read my bio in my profile or my introduction in the introduce yourself forum, you will see i don't smoke weed anymore (but for good reason) but it's my girlfriend i love dearly that has these problems, she's not like full blown schitzo but she just has these little voices telling her she's ugly and no good and ive seen what it does to her when they decide to poke there head out. so not so much schitzophrenia, just more she's really depressed and anxious all the time. do you know any seed banks in cananda i can order mandala seeds from? thank you!

and i want greenhouse cause ive followed there company since i first started growing when i was 13. fraco is my idol i love that guy! he's as much of a enthusiast as i am! anyway, i like there strains ive heard ALOT of good things about them, and they just stand out to me, i also know a few people who have grown them and loved them. so im goin for greenhouse, or if you can find me a few strains from the vancouver seed bank or the hemp depot (the only ones ill order form as of now) or if theres any other seed banks in canada, that will meet the need of the anxiety and depresson that would be mucho appreciated. ive searched lots and theres not really any good descriptions on and strains besides greenhoue, some, and sensi. that give good descritions on there strains effects :/ im a outdoor grower so i need somethin thats gonna finish by the middle of october, anyway sorry to ramble on with nonsence, hope to hear back from you seasoned experts! have a good day guys!! and again thanks for the link hard rain ;) and to you dorej113 and hydro-soil for the suggestions!!

If your girlfriend has little voices in her head telling her how "ugly and no good" she is, I would address that first, WAAAY before giving her any herb.

Personally, I know of no strain that is guaranteed not to make those little voices really loud and numerous. Herb can show you things, but if these are things you don't want to see, it can get - shall we say - a tad uncomfortable.

There is no drug, even herb, that will raise your self-esteem.
That's a matter for the individual, thankgawd.

i have adressed that, and it's goin pretty good, but when she smokes weed and get a up happy giggly high she's happy! she's more depressed then anything and weed helps her out alot! but im tired of trying to find her weed that gonna give her that happy giggly high. i wanna order seeds and grow it for her. im not sure there actual voices just her tellin herself that, but sativas make her happy for 3 or 4 hours and indica make her lazy and depressed.....i don't blame her i never liked smoking indica when i did either. anyway she's depressed and anxious the voice that she hears is her own theres nothin in her head. just help me out please people.

Ah, OK, so you already know that some weed helps. That's a start.
Do you not know what varieties they were? That's a shame.

Unfortunately the current market focus seems to be on heavy hitters, so many of the good chill-weed strains are overlooked.

I would suggest you try:
Green Devil from Tiki (not very strong, but like herbal vitamin... uplifting, mood fixing)
Satori from Mandala or any good Nepalese genetics (though they may be a bit too psychedelic)
Flo from DJ. Everyone seems to agree on the superior qualities of this one. Quick too, even if a bit pricey.
Royal Flush (aka Nirvana Spaecial) - got a v. good recent report
Maybe jack Herer might fit the bill, too.
Any good, up 'sativa' strain, try a few and see how it goes.

I would also strongly recommend you keep clones while searching for a mother plant - this is really a game of pheno hunting, and if you find something good in one seed there is NO guarantee that similar seeds will have it.

Incidentally, I have no experience of GH or the seeds you mentioned, but an acquantance battled with AUH for months and ended up with a bunch of hay. So I suggest that if you go with the GH stuff, you try some of the quick flowerers first, you never know, you may get lucky.

OTOH, if you are, as you say, a GH fan, why not ask them directly? They might even know, though I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. :D

You want a happy giggly high with no mindfucking? Two words: Sweet Tooth
Kootenay (Spice of Life Seeds) will have seeds available late this year, but you might find it around on seedbay from time to time or be able to get clones or something. The best mental meds you can grow imo. :canabis:

i agree absolutely... if weed provide her relief than use it!gwsgrower...maybe some hash can be better i dunno...

maybe you should ask about greenhouse strains in ghs vendor forum...franco could help you...

but i think that also sleep is good relief for this problems... so some happy relaxing indica buzz with soft sleepy end...
hell yes sweet tooth:artist:

p.s. i dont think greenhouse seeds try to breed good medical seeds for purposes you need, more of cashcroppers strains...

i don't want to start a GHS bash but don't purchase from them if you are going with medical purposes...reports are about as varied for GHS as they are for Nirvana...if u have to go GHS then go with GWS but honestly Nirvana has better choices for the same price tag...anyhow i suffer with depression and anxiety. Sativa's help me but they require some selection (some can have an opposite effect for me) and also sativa's should be used in moderation with as low a dose as possible because too much can create anxiety, racy heart, etc. I've found hybrids to be the best formula for day meds, find something with a good Afghan base and you should be on the right track...Afghani's have always been the most comforting for me, i'd recommend Nirvana Aurora Indica and their Afghan...also MNS has AfxSk, ASH and AfghanxHaze which all have been good for medical purposes, i just love the MNS ASH and use it daily for my medical needs..also speaking os SWT i've found Legends Ultimate Indica very comforting

No offence, but I have noticed that stoners' punctuation does not always conform to the accepted standards of the English language ;).

Personally, I would have thought that anything skunky wouldn't be all that suitable, dunno why it's got 5 times as many votes, maybe there's an explanation above which I didn't read.

If I had to pick one for the purpose I'd probably go for the Shark, but that's just by reputation and hearsay. I'd tend to agree with those who suggested that GH genetics are not the best for the task at hand, but it's the OP's call.
