Q&A

I am been battling panic and anxiety since I was 21. I am currently on lexapro 10mg. I was wondering if there are strains of cannabis that could help me so I can eventually come off of lexapro


Cannabis can be effective for anxiety. I would start with a whole plant, full spectrum CBD rich tincture that also contains some THC. Maybe start with a 5:1 ratio of CBD:THC. Take about 10 milligrams and wait for 30 minutes. Take another 10 milligrams each 30 minutes as needed. For more immediate effects I would inhale cannabis by vaping or smoking. Start with one small puff and wait for 15 minutes and then repeat as needed. Consult with the doctor who perscribed your anxiety medications before you wean yourself.

Hello there!
Here are a few heavy and potent strains to consider:
Grand Daddy Purp
Northern Lights
God’s Gift
Chocolate Chunk

Here are a few CBD strains, which would be much milder than the above strains. Very high CBD strains, such as ACDC (20:1), would be more mild than strains with more THC, such as Harlequin (3:1).

CBD strains to consider
Harlequin, a 3:1 hybrid strain;
Sweet and Sour Widow – a 1:1 indica strain;
Pennywise – a 1:1 indica strain;
Cannatonic – a 3:1 hybrid strain

Very high CBD strains to consider
ACDC – a 20:1 sativa strain
Ringo’s Gift – a 25:1 hybrid strain
Charlotte’s Web – a 30:1 sativa strain

I hope this helps!
