I'm pretty sure this stuff was created by a Canadian company a few years back. It's still in it's trial stages, which must be doing well if it has made it's way to Australia. I'm not sure if it was ever tested in the states, but it shows that we're moving in a new direction when it comes to cannabis. Nice post Johno.


Peace

If theres one thing i know about Xanax(Alprazolam) is that it can actually induce panic/anxiety(if you take it on a regular basis), yeah its a tranquilizer but trust me on this, xanax can make it so much worse for you if taken chronicly...i suffer from severe panic disorder, i take valium 10mg as needed.....i think klonopin(clonazepam) would be a much better choice than xanax for you.

The reason it increased your anxiety is that your body gets physically addicted to any type of benzodiazepine. If you take them long term, you've got to continue to take them long term, then when u want to get off them u simply ween off slowly, decreasing your dose every week until you're off them. If you try to quit cold turkey from long term use, you'll end up with withdrawal symptoms which are best described as hell.
Xanax does not cause increased anxiety. Quitting cold turkey causes withdrawal symptoms, which may be interpreted as heightened anxiety. Just had to clear that one up.


Peace
