it is a mild sedative.... but it negative side effects make it useless as a cure... because then your stoned all the time... and so.. apathetic, lazy, hungry and tired... sloth like. i have grown to hate marijuana... and i have almost completely abandoned it.... except... alcohol... is even worse. coffee is good... but then i cant sleep. problems problems.. problems... the pharmacuticals are all working hard to solve. soon they will find the holy gas.... or pill. with no side effects... that makes all things calm and wonderful. and we will all be enslaved. marijuana... just isnt that good.... but a docile and stoned america and world... is alot easier to control. drugs are bad... especially the ones that slow you down. like marijuana. -MT
I have GAD and when I smoke it increases my anxiety out of control... makes the whole experiance unpleasent and kinda scary.
Wow! And I thought that I was the only one who had this kind've experience. All my friends in high school smoked marijuana except for me - although it does mellow you out and perhaps does have a calming effect - "I" always became really paranoid! Not paranoid of anything in particular - just paranoid! I think this is the same as what you mean by "anxiety out of control" and "kinda scary." If you have a wholistic basis in reality, and realize the consequences of getting caught with marijuana, then how could you NOT have some anxiety about smoking pot? This is one way of explaining how marijuana actually causes aniexty: not decreases it. But I admit that back in my crazy days - who cares, try this and that days - that the thought of getting caught was foolishly NEVER on my mind. Still, I was sooo paranoid, yet under so much pressure to smoke it. But I simply passed the joint along without taking a hit. Now I can say to everyone that I hope that they can do the same.
same damn thing used to happen to me now it's just the cops, government agencies, coorperate america, narcs, snitches, scavengers, friends in general, foriegn politics, war, guns, drunk drivers, school, work, death, illness, heights, rabbid dogs, cleaning products, germs, virus's, HIV/AIDS, religion, insurgents, debt, bills, housing, food, water, clothes, gangs, oh yea and did i mention buying the shit w/o going to jail.
