Anti-anxiety strains?

Thanks, Brick Top. You always post good info/advice.
I try to help when I can.

Anyone who graduated to toking after the very low grade over-dried pressed Mexican brickweed era, who for some inexplicable reason want and need to believe that all Mexican grown strains where always like that will never believe me but if some of those old school Mexican strains could be found and marketed the person doing it could really cut into the profits of the companies that make Xanax and Valium and Prozac and Paxil etc.

When strains from Colombian and Panama and Africa and Laos etc. replaced the good Mexican strains, largely because by then ignorant Mexican growers had polluted their pure strains with indica strains attempting to increase yields, in a way something very good was lost. The other strains, for the most part, were more potent but they were also different, they gave a totally different high. A group of friends could smoke some of those strains and spend hours contemplating God and the meaning to life or why a butterfly was named a butterfly, because it does not eat butter, it does not produce butter, few look anything like butter, etc. etc. etc. or they would write anti-war peace songs ... it made them very introspective and everything was a wonderment worthy of hours of contemplation.

But the good old Mexican strains put a BIG smile on your face and made you happy and relaxed and everything was cool and the gang. Only a few could compete on a potency level with the other strains, but with a good Mexican you could toke up, go to work and love whatever you did but not be so high that you had trouble functioning or performing your duties proficiently and or safely.

We used to call many of the different unnamed strains of Mexican giggle-weed. Everything was fun, they were not speedy or racy and did not produce paranoia, and did the exact opposite but without a couch-lock effect. Many, if they still exist today and could be found and marketed, would make fantastic anti-anxiety strains. They would be perfect for people like over-stressed moms that have to keep a clear head to take care of the kids and safely drive them soccer or hockey or baseball practice or games and not burn dinner, or bus drivers that are stressed keeping a schedule and putting up with the riders, or Wall Street traders with ulcers who would need a clear head and be able to think and react quickly. They would be perfect for people who need to be fully functional at all times but who are overstressed and need something that would relax them, calm them down and make them forget their problems and worries and all the things that cause them stress ... and make them find fun in everything short of being in a bad car accident.

Due to the desire for increased potency I can see why some Mexican strains fell out of fashion, but now when we are in the early stages of medicinal marijuana use some of them would be a real Godsend too many people if they could be found again, if they still exist anywhere anyway.

Certain indica strains and crosses that are predominantly indica make great evening/nighttime anti-anxiety strains, but horrible ones for daytime because of the couch-lock/want/need to nap/sleep stone they cause. That is why anyone suffering from stress that treats themselves with cannabis needs a daytime strain that is predominantly or all sativa and a nighttime strain that is predominantly or all indica.

blueberry, and jilly bean from tga subcool.
both really good anti-anxiety strains, more of a relaxed high
I must say, of my two f13s (with blueberry father by dj short) one of the two phenos is relaxing waves that rise and fall sativa euphoria, whereas the second one is much more potent and when that wave rises you get a huge shock of intensity that makes you feel like your flexing then it declines. the first one is very relaxing, the second one is soooo not relaxing (but quite fun)

Indica, Sativa, in the end it all comes down to what causes you anxiety in life, whatever mimics it will be the strain that causes anxiety. Some people get anxiety from being too relaxed and sitting still, other people get anxiety from having to move around like sativas do..

I think indicas cause me panic attack type highs maybe because i have a.d.d and when it slows me down my mind is still racing but my body isnt and it freaks me out!

It weird cause when i drink energy drinks and coffee i get a nice relaxed mind and feel better. I want to smoke a good pure sativa and see what happens. I have heard that greenhouse strawberry haze is good for that cause it has barely any cbd.

would be interested if any other ADD smokers get panics from heavy indicas?

Dont do greenhouse. Their genetics suck. Sure if you grow out a full pack you will probly get one great healthy pheno, but all the rest will die due to disease, hermie, insects, or just plain dwarfism. I had a very nice church by them but everything else I grew by them was just hell to grow. Don't give yourself that stress when there are good genetics available.

I know I have limited experience in strains as I have only grown my own for a year, but if you want to grow a nice sativa hybrid I would suggest go with The Flav. The High I got from the Flav by TGA Subcool was simply amazing.

as far as im aware dutch passion is the only seed company to sell "strawberry cough"...other seedbanks do have crosses with the strawberry cough but no one else has it in seed form that im aware.
Thats what I thought...+rep for looking around for me as well.

i am currently working with a cross that involves stawberry cough. its from sagarmatha and its called "strawberry d-lite". its a cross of strawberry cough and nyc diesel...it seemed so good i had to get it.

i just finished up veg and now its just entered 12/12 (no sex has shown yet but its a fem seed)...you'll find them much more affordable than the strawberry cough im pretty sure as most of sagarmathas strains are decently priced.

so far its been a pleasure to grow this strain. its nodes are the closet together out of all my other plants (10 master kush plants from dp and 1 smile from kannabia)...if the high is as good as the grow then its going to be awesome.
