I don't know about medicinal marijuana as its illegal in england.......but regular weed will only make paranoia and anxiety worse in my experience

That depends on the individal and their fininical situation.

If your well of but suffer from anxiety medicial marijuana may be very benificial to those who suffer from anxiety.

But if you're unemployed, behind on bills, and the cars broke it should be avoided becuse it won't help make things any better.

Plus its expensive.

I never even considered the financial side.......still can't get my head round avin to pay for medicine......God bless the NHS

When I smoked it, my anxiety was still as bad, and my paranoia was awful, but at the same time, I didn't care. When I would have to leave the house or go to work, I suddenly did care, so that sucked. Sometimes I miss it, but my lungs feel better without it, and I have more $$ for other stuff.

I live in California and have had a medical marijuana card since 2006. My answer is that it all depends. At night when my anxiety calms down, it can really help me shut my mind off and get to sleep. The thing with pot is that it usually just enhances whatever mood you are in. If I smoke it in the mornings when my anxiety is horrible, it tends to make me worse. Then you have the fact that the weed could be tainted with pesticides and chemicals. Overall it is a mixed bag. A strong sativa strain can send a person into a full blown panic mode. A good indica can mellow you out, but for how long? What happens when you can't get it anymore? Cost is definitely an issue as it costs 10 bucks a gram minimum.

I would say stay away from it. It's just another vice and another way to escape from a crappy reality.

I'm on the fence about this. I know people who say that it helps with their anxiety, but I think that there are tons of other things you should try out first. I've only tried it twice and it did not help me as I grew very concerned about the smell on my clothes and my lungs being scorched. = =
