I have anxiety and am prescribed xanax. I wish I had it sooner in my life as it really helps. However, I dont want to take it forever as it can be addicting and tough on my liver over years etc.

Sometimes I smoke Cannabis as it completely removes any concept of anxiety from my life. OR it can actually make my anxiety worse and I can panic.

From my research, I see that Indica has CBD up to 1.5% (Thc up to 20%) and Sativa has even less CBD. Scientists relate the CBD to an effect of anti anxiety and anti psychotic. This obviously is reason for the anti anxiety stoney feeling that helps me so much (and could help me avoid xanax)

Wouldn't it make sense for some strain breeding specifically to treat anxiety? This along with the anti psychotic benefits should be highlighted as another major benefit for medical cannabis.

It looks like industrial hemp is high in CBD and low in THC (but I have not found specific % ratios). Maybe, this could treat anxiety? I read "it will give you a headache" but I dont believe that unless YOU actually tired it and can tell me that from a personal experience. I actually found two personal experiences online that just claimed a slight buzz and said nothing of a headache.

A buzz effect would be fine, especially if relaxing, but the goal would be medical for anxiety and other similar disorders.

BTW, anxiety does debilitate my life, and a full blown panic attack is like pure terror washing over your whole head and body for no specific reason. Its hell. Imagine living, working, trying to sleep, trying to get out of bed and live. Its not easy.

Anyone have any feedback?

Thanks alot
