Some of the best cannabis writing online...please do write more personal essays, breezy or otherwise. I used to suffer from anxiety after toking: increased heart rate made me think I was having heart issues, which made me anxious, which in turn increased my heart rate or at least I FELT like it did, which in turn made the anxiety worse...a vicious circle, which is actually what finally made me lose that anxiety -- I "logicked" it out of my system, reasoning that as I was still around and not in the ER, my heart was fine...but it did take a year or two to come to that realization (and have my body follow, lol). The upshot -- no anxiety now whatsoever, on micro or macro doses.
Great Post ! In her post, Jackie Bryant opens up about the anxiety she feels after going back to work from maternity leave and how cannabis helps her cope. She explains that while THC can be soothing for anxiety, it can also backfire and make things worse if taken in high doses. Her reflections on self-medication and the struggle to tell whether you’re truly feeling better or just masking the problem really hit home, encouraging readers to reflect on their own journeys with cannabis and mental health.
So if you start to feel more anxious after having consumed THC, you are probably on too large of a dose now. It's always good to start low and go slow to find what feels right for you.
As a reader, I found this post to be an honest and relatable exploration of the author's personal journey with anxiety, cannabis use, and motherhood. The nuanced discussion around using cannabis for anxiety while questioning its long-term effects really resonated, especially in the context of balancing mental health and self-care. It invites thoughtful reflection and dialogue, making it both informative and emotionally engaging. #GETICGLASS.COM
