Highly sensitive with complex ptsd. Therapeutic journaling helps, but it can sometimes get overwhelming.

❀ cannabis tincture - I bought the wrong one.

Off the cannabis for a while. Gradually my inability to control my anxiety has come back. It usually results in uncontrolled crying, being immobilized because the thought of doing anything makes me uneasy, and of course racing thoughts that don't go away and cause me sadness/discomfort/fear/etc.

I had to stop taking the tincture because I realized it was the wrong balance of strain, and it started to give me ANXIETY. Great.

I had no idea what I was buying originally and so I had to ask the dispenser what would be good for anxiety. I did read up on it before hand but being around all that ,, erm ,, product ,, I was completely overwhelmed. I knew I wanted a tincture but knew nothing about the tinctures that were there.

In the end,, the dispenser person was wrong in his suggestion. Now I know better and will be getting a different blend next time I go in. In the meantime I was hoping to clear my body of the current product so it would knock me out as though I'd never taken any before, and I could continue to use it at night time only.

This is the first day in a few weeks having taken it and I feel absolutely thrashed. Very tired, very groggy. But it's better than a weed induced panic.

From wikipedia:

Difference between C. indica and C. sativa:
Cannabis sativa has a higher level of THC compared to CBD, while Cannabis indica has a higher level of CBD compared to THC.[4] Cannabis strains with relatively high CBD:THC ratios are less likely to induce anxiety than vice versa.

Cannabis used in therapeutic medicines is the strain with higher cannabidiol and virtually NONE of the THC. While people may find uses for both strains (recreationally) be advised the differences are actually quite large when trying to attain a specific result from your medicine. Of course, special breeding is taking place in order to attain the CBD from the plants, so that even an Indica plant may still give anxiety because it will still contain THC.

This gets quite confusing to me and I have not done a very extensive research on this topic; I plan to sometime in the future as I find it fascinating and think there are so many healing secrets of cannabis that could help people immensely  - if not for our ignorant governments.

Bahahahaha!! Just keep running. Just keep running.
