Of course. Check out the "Medical Marijuana treats Anxiety" thread I started a while back in the introductions section of the site. There's lots of info and opinions there. I think its just what ur lookin for as a matter of fact.

Peace

I used to smoke weed. I found that I was already depressed and then smoked weed, I became more depressed. As for social anxiety, alcohol probably works better.

Alcohol works better? Why don't you take into account the toll that alcohol takes on your body, compared to that of marijuana. Marijuana is not dangerous by any means. Too much alcohol and you don't even know what you're doing. I can't believe the way some people think...

Lame. I didn't say drink too much alcohol, but it works better from my experience as far as dealing with people. Saying marijuana is not dangerous by any means is retarded.

Tried it twice.

First time (was light), didn't really enjoy it. Felt more self-conscious (giggled heeps nervously) around a friend. Was a little bit more interested in a movie i was watching, but otherwise the bong made my respiratory system feel groggy, or like shit.

Second time (am told i took a fair bit). Went crazy lol. I just begun crying and getting all emotional. I tried being all meaningful whilst telling my friend off for smoking pot (lol ironic at the time), yet i must have sounded idiotic. Again i felt more self-conscious. Dreadful experience.

DUnno about you other SA's . . . but it just makes me even worse, e.g. more self-conscious.

I was comparing the safety of marijuana compared to alcohol. You don't have to get wasted all the time to get liver damage over time. Use of alcohol, as we all know, impairs judgment. Therefore, a slightly irresponsible night of alcohol use has potential to bring on DUIs, public intoxication charges, domestic disputes, car accidents, putting other innocent people at risk on the road, not to mention the cancer and liver damage caused by long term alcohol use (which is inevitable if you use it for anxiety). All this leads to the hundreds of thousands of deaths in America caused by alcohol alone each year.

Now with all that cleared up, how can you say alcohol is a better alternative to marijuana when it comes to anxiety? Marijuana has never been the cause of death for anybody. Marijuana has never killed anyone.

Think before you speak sir.


Peace

I'm a very heavy smoker.

I'll tell you one thing, It definitely helps, Even though I probably smoke too much for any real good to be done, it does help a lot with my self esteem and such.

Smoke a few joints, Pop in Led Zeppelins "The Song Remains the Same" or Pink Floyds "The Wall" or anything like that. Really is a good distraction, so to speak.

I have thought about trying this too. I recently bought another herb, called kratom. My personal experience is that it does stimulate more as well as more fatigue, but I don't like the slight sick feeling I have of it at a certain point. I have the impression that with drugs, whether herbal or chemical, there is always a climax and before or after a more negative effect...

I don't, but I know someone who does and he always seems depressed. He even admitted to me that he has social phobia too. So I definitely decided I didn't want to start smoking after I saw what his life was turning out like. Not that I think it's that way with everyone, but I think I'm drugging myself up enough as it is.
