For me, cannabis causes anxiety, and it’s pretty well established that anybody with anxiety or bipolar or schizophrenia should not be using cannabis because it can make these much worse. I don’t suffer anxiety anymore, but there’s plenty of scientific evidence about the relationship between anxiety and cannabis use.

That's a very blanket statement, lots of people are in fact prescribed low dose cannabis for anxiety.

I’ve seen it happen over and over again, regular smokers stop smoking because weed only gives them anxiety now. It’s literally a gateway drug to an anxiety disorder.

What strains have you tried?

Excessive THC exposure, not blanket cannabis use, is what’s really being condemned here.

Hemp, meaning very low THC, higher terpene (read as: “essential oils“ and CBD content, is for you (and most!).
