Greening out...

I pretty much gave up smoking weed because of the anxiety it caused me in my later years. I will occasionally take a hit or two when I have trouble sleeping or if I'm relatively certain I won't have to talk to anyone. I was an everyday smoker for close to 20 years and had no issues whatsoever. When my children were old enough to grasp what was going on I just slowly got out of the habit and didn't use it anymore. When the kids grew up I started growing again and I discovered it was no longer the relaxing high it once was for me. This season I'm trying my hand at growing a CBD strain in hopes that I might be able to avoid the anxiety I get from high THC plants.
 
We are everyday smokers and i have had too much several times. Never vomited but dizzy alittle faint. But i am leaning towards more CBD 1:1 with THC. Partly cause of this reaction to high THC. 2 grams of GG#4 does relax me, but there are some pretty darn good CBD products out there now. I like blending the 2 flowers. I've not choosen the strain of CBD yet i want to talk to a neighbors son who is grower on a large CBD farm. I want the medical strain
 
I can't even get there anymore unless I'm going on 24 hours of no weed then smoke a bowl with a hash nugget inside. The last time I did get there though was when a friend brought some cookies from a dispensary in Oklahoma. They were 50mg of THC each! I broke mine in half. My poor wife (who is a lightweight) ate the whole damn thing. I had to lay down and pass out. She purged from both ends, poor thing. Our friend was back at that dispensary some time later. They said they've pulled those cookies from the shelves and offer refunds to anyone who still has an unopened bag.
 
So we are aiming what ? CBD ? THC ? Recreational or medicinal ? Funny at my age I'm sort of looking for medical types ... OK !!!! But just a bit of recreational but not like the good old days non ?
 
I am looking for something for the end of the day that just relaxes me and not knock me over the head like a hammer. I've been relying on pain killers for a number of years now and while I enjoy the buzz it gives me I would prefer the nice high marijuana used to provide. Maybe it's a pipedream but I'll keep trying. I've never tried any type of CBD product and I'm hoping my new High Tide sativa plants will fill the bill. If i wanted to work smarter rather than harder I'd just go out and buy some CBD bud but you're talking to a guy who just moved an entire wall 1/2 inch so I could open my refrigerator door fully. Five years of not being able to open my vegetable drawer all the way wore on my last nerve. It was a very interesting article. Thanks for sharing.
 
I also just blend flowers, growing a high cbd version to mix with the high thc big name plants I like to try. I used to completely green out on the smallest amounts (I mean small as in 1-2 big puffs of week weed). I would get nauseated, cold sweats, dizzy etc. Totally cheap date. If I had slightly more I would get low level paranoia. It was really only after I was growing, when my tolerance started to rise, that the crappy symptoms faded. I think he cbd helped, but moreso I think it was time and tolerance. I figure much like having to start any other new drug there is a break in period. Now I don’t get any of the bad symptoms, except.... the munchies!!! Holy moly that one is annoying. I have little enough willpower as it is, but if that dam breaks stand back or you could lose a finger! 🙂

I had this issue too, but trying a different strain really helped, and I don't have anxiety at all now.. I would also like to recommend that you check out the Canada Drugs online service for some supplements which can help you with your anxiety too, they are pretty good, I have to say!

I've only ever gotten some anxiety from sativa, but not all sativas. Never greened out. The morning I left to go to the hospital, day before having a kidney removed, I knew I wouldn't be eating and couldn't get high so I ate 100 mg fudgy and smoked a strong joint right before we got there. I was chill, the edible lasted pretty long. I may have brought another one in with me for the no-sleep night time. After surgery I had good pain meds.

I'll get a bit dizzy and really nauseous from time to time, and then I'll sneeze and it goes away. No anxiety or paranoia since it's been legalized here. I can't do high intensity intervals or chase KOMs on Strava on it, but I do enjoy endurance-pace rides on it -- just wandering about in nature. I grow high THC strains, both sativas and indicas and still get high. Sometimes I'll forget I'm high though, and then I'll like go, "Whoa! I forgot I'm high!" then go sit down and enjoy the buzz.
