Best strain for anxiety in seed form?

Maple Leaf Indica never fails me. Have not tried most of the other indicas yet, but GDP and Bubba Kush are well liked for anxiety so I am growing them.

Mostly, the sativas are not good for anxiety, but there are exceptions in strains and people are different too.




I have to agree with yesum here. This strain is freekin undercover greatness. I havent grown the maple in years, but I am going through phenos of Angel's Breath by Mr Nice. Its a cross of Afghan Haze and Mango Haze. Ive popped 7 seeds so far and there are 5 females 2 males. First one not a hint of haze for a 50%er smells of cinnimon and green apples. This one finished in 52days. hardley a stretcher. The high wasnt a keeper for me though. Second one, I think these genetics are definitley a combination in the making of skunk because she is a very stinky plant. Smells strongly of skunk and mango in veg and thoughout flower. Again quicker than the haze hybrids I have grown. Tried pushing her to 63 days but she is done in 56. Hell of a stretch and yield. High is very clear and everyone Ive give that to says its an aphrodisiac. The high while not overpowering has a very clear aspect, a touch of giggles, and I repeat again its a pussy wetter. Very supprising to me bc it works every time and isnt placebo. 3rd pheno I wasnt really that impressed while growing. She stretched like a haze and is the heaviest yielder of the bunch. This pheno didnt shine untill the done drying. She is unmistakably Maple Leaf in smell and high, with a haze aspect in the background of the high. She starts in the head uplifting the mood then then you feel her vibrating through your body like great massage. Taste was strongest in this pheno also. Like brown sugar and syrup. Twas very unique and very great. she was done in 63. All have superb bag appeal also. Then there is the 4th which has the most compact resinated buds ive ever seen. didnt look like it wasnt going to yield or do anything well until 6 weeks in. i definitely pulled this one early at 63 so no report but it smells like pure incense with a touch of maple syrup no fruits from this one. I think she neeeds 77-84 Ill do that one again. 5th had just start building buds, at 8wks, she looked like 4. Eliminated. I saved the two males because one is pure incense but not in a hazey way. I'd like to see what that brings. The other smells of maple syrup but stronger with a skunky background similar to the 3rd pheno but stronger in sccent. Two of very very few males I save in my garden. Not the strongest by a long shot but strong enough and has a great experience in the highs. so 3 impressives keepers out of 7 seeds is very unique for me. I know that I havent even found the gold nugget yet.

Very easy to find great phenos unlike DJ's strains. And Although indica does not put you to sleep. All the keepers can go into flower as soon as they bust roots. No veg time, with heavy internoding all the way down to the soil.


Not one pheno gave me anxiety. Very unique flavors and very unique highs also leaning towards the maple leaf AfghanT used in creating this cross. Im really enjoying going through phenos of this cross and not one gave me anxiety. Not what I was expecting for 50%er of haze but Very awsome and I feel very blessed to have 3 more packs of the stuff and not even finished with the first.




Happy growing :tiphat:

Having dealt with anxiety for 2 decades I can speak volumes on this subject.

The problem with anxiety is that it is all in your head.:) Seriously though it is. It took me 20 years to learn this.

Once you get your "head" right then you can smoke whatever the fuck you want, and it will be all good. To get to this point will be a journey.

To help your GF get to that point I would suggest any sativa dominant, if not 100% sativa strain. Sativa's are notorious for making the average smoker tweek out. Well your GF is not the average smoker.

Being that she is already "tweeked" out the sativa will have a relaxing effect on her.

You can see this logic in standard pharma medication. If your kid is adhd, or add(which by the way what kid isn't?) they give your kid speed. You college kids know about the wonders of adderall. Speed in an already speedy person works the opposite of how it would in a "normal". person.

So switch her to a pure haze, and she will feel as though there is light at the end of the cannabis tunnel. Slowly but surely she will then be able to work down the latter form a pure sative to sativa dominant plants, and even further down to indica dominant plants.

It has taken me a while to work my way down, but it has worked. I can smoke 100% indica, and it just makes me tired now. I hate being tired unless it's bed time.:)

Keep in mind that every single person on the planet is different, so what works for me may not work for her. However there is a strong likelihood that it may.

Only one way to find out:)
 
For me I am convinced anxiety is linked to fear. There are wayd to ease our fears. This is something I've been working with my wife with for years. She i-polar so she has a chemical response system that is over producing. Her fight or flights bi response can kick in when a normal person's does not. The right state of mind and also the environment and people you are with can determine how you react when high.

another sufferer here, not as bad as many that post, but it's still a quality of life issue
depression, anxiety, bi-polar - they have links to each other though they vary in how they show
one explanation for anxiety that i have seen, and matches well to my experiences
anxiety is a form of mania, but it does not feel so good
anxiety is mania without action, instead of pursuing some goal or activity, neurotic fears take over
as noted by many, there isn't a simple fix - some will find a special MJ that can break that cycle
not easy to find, i recall Mexican weed from 30 years ago that could do it, a very special few types

Yumbolt from Sagarmartha Seeds, most relaxing I've ever tried, without any uncomfortable feelings, making it easier to let go off all that's bothering you in day to day life. Might put you to sleep tho...

I remember hearing many times around these boards that BOG's Gum lines and anything from DJ Short are good choices in the realm of anxiety reduction.

You won't be dissapointed with PNR - it's cured my insomnia and oddly is helping with my IBS.
