Marijuana and anxiety problems ?

Question

if I had bad anxiety, would smoking weed make my anxiety worse?

I am reading an article about how it leads to depression and anxiety, but I already have anxiety, and getting high makes you feel good and carefree?

But yet, im reading it gives you a higher risk of anxiety problems and heart attacks? Wtf?

Answer 1

Don't believe everything you read.

Answer 2

if you live in some areas (like california) you can actually get prescribed marijuana so maybe you could talk to your doctor about it

i've heard it's helped some people with their anxiety and depression though, while it can cause it in others so maybe you should give it a try and see how your body reacts to it :)

Answer 3

My experience has been that it has a calming effect for most people.  However, if you already have an anxiety problem, weed can exacerbate it.  As with most things, individual results vary.  The reason it's bad for your heart is the same reason smoking anything's bad for your heart (lungs too of course).

And I've never heard of anyone getting a hangover from weed.

Answer 4

Yes, I can tell you first hand that weed will increase your anxiety.

I used to feel the same way. Please take this into consideration. It worked for me, although I am not you.

I had overwhelming anxiety. It turned out to be my use of Splenda. Yup Splenda. How could something that taste so good, be so bad?



I like to say sucralose, not Splenda, because that is what Splenda is. And it is in a lot of stuff. Sadly, the package doesn't have to say Splenda or diet to have sucralose in it. You have to read labels. So, you might be using it and don't even know it!



Sucralose is poison. It ruined five years of my life. I had a laundry list of medical problems while taking it, including overwhelming anxiety, depression, mood swings, insomnia, gastrointestinal issues and more.

Go ahead, google: anxiety splenda or anxiety sucralose or insomnia splenda or insomnia sucralose



The slogan, "Made from sugar..." is very misleading. Splenda might be made from sugar, but it is far from sugar. The resulting chemical is an organochloride (chlorocarbon). Organochlorides are typically poisons.



carbon monoxide - made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air

Answer 5

As with any drug, while you're on it, for the initial stages (the first few hours after u take the drug), you'll always feel carefree and happy or whatever. But it's the same as when you're drunk. You feel great that day, but then the next day comes with terrible hangovers: headaches, vomiting, being anxious and depressed,etc. Well, i've said what I had to, now it's your choice.

Good luck.
