How Long 'Til "Side Effects" Quit?

Hi, I use medical 215 for extreme anxiety.

Im NEW to marijuana and hay it helps for all but the worst panic attacks.
Id say 75% of the time it squashes my troubled mind to where I can actually function.

Ok, side effects, red eyes, being stoned (Not high) but ~BAKED~
Not to mention the chance of being impaired while driving (I live on a mountain pass of death and ice with cliffs)

My friend uses it for aggressive tendencies and he said he does not get high at all but it does keep him calmed and focused.

Any ideas? I actually dont like being "Stoned" but the mellowness really does correct my negative thinking.

Will it get easier to smoke pot?

One thing I had thought was to smoke it in the morning, BEFORE an anxiety attack even happens.

Its funny but pot smoking could really be a life saver, its so foggy and dark and rainy and muddy that all I can think of is bad thoughts.

Pot is working and its saver then self medicating with alcohol or nasty prescription antidepressants.

I have some issue (not sure yet.. drs still working on it) but its causes me to vomit something fierce. Mostly in the mornings but it happens during the day as well. I have tried what ever meds the drs have prescribed but so far pot is what works by far the best.

I find when I smoke. Its mellows me out to a point. if I smoke more, then it starts to get a little dicey Uncontrollable thoughts, anxiety etc. I find getting say half stoned works the best for me. Any more and it can get problematic.

I think you'll build a tolerance to the side effects after awhile enough to where you can function without having to worry about them. Pot is ALOT safer and better for you than alcohol or pills, glad to hear it's working for you!

mayor juana, it is working for mild OCD and anxiety and for sure depression.

carl.burnette Im in the same boat, no pun intended, half baked.

My prop 215 Dr said I should use a cocktail of Xanax and weed but I said no way as Id still like to be a functioning adult!

Iv been using a "Protopype" with closing lid so I can keep the left over "Medicine" in my pockets.

I still like to drink alcohol, a few beers but im trying to skip days now.

Whats wrong with being baked?

Maybe your SUPPOSED to die on that cliff?

Lol I dunno, I really am TOO baked right now, its one of those nights

Yeah man, as your tolerance builds the intoxicating effects will fade mostly into the background.

Except when you take a huge bong rip...

You might try eating it, I perfer it to smoking cause I don't have to hide
it lasts long time and can be taylored to what YOU need per dose
Do you know any1 with some canna butter?

Oh yea My side effects have lasted for 42 years now
LOL!

Yeah maybe try some edibles and see if the effect is better or worse for you because it is different for sure. In time you'll build up a tolerance. It will be more like a morning cup of coffee instead of a six pack to ya lol. =)

-Btw that's cool to see you being conscious about the driving thing. I think too many people who get ripped assume they are gtg when in fact they are impaired. I've lost more people due to auto accidents than just about anything. Peace.

lol

after a few weeks of smoking, u will build a tolerance. usually if i smoke first thing in the morning, im high for a while, but if i take a shower it goes down to a "baked" feeling so i can function normally haha.

for anxiety, i like to be just a little baked throughout the whole day. if anything happens that would normally cause my anxiety to kick in, it just rolls off my back. no big deal at all. i cant seem to concentrate on the anxious thoughts long enough for them to build into a full-on panic attack. this is helpful for obvious reasons

After you smoke for a while I'd like to say it's WAY different. It becomes, after a while, pretty much exactly the same to do something stoned as it is sober. Well, it's hard to explain. But I do everything high now, I don't think of it much different than sober. Much more enjoyable though [:
