  Getting more anxious arbitrarily when high would also support their statement. They didn’t say that getting less anxious was what indicated a disconnection between feelings and reality

    Now this is an actual good argument. I might just have to concede that I’m wrong here in this case then. At least, anecdotally. I don’t know anyone who gets high and is just…the same. Which by your argument is what it would take to falsify OPs claim. Nice catch!

      Sorry I upset you. Wasn’t being snarky.

      Whenever I talk about getting anxiety from weed, someone inevitably hits me with the “try a different strain!” as if I haven’t tried to mango strains, oil, vaping, and edibles lawl

        One thing that did completely take away my anxiety while getting high is CBD. More CBD than THC in a bowl and I have a great high. Give me straight THC and I’m more than likely not going to have a good time

        This doesn’t help. Just like some medications can’t be taken by certain types of people, it’s not outside the realm of possibilities that someone’s experience is different than the norm or different than your own. We should be helping, educating, and loving the experience, not denigrating those who have experiences outside of our own or expectations.

        I implore you take time to consider the person’s experience, and how yours may not be the only one, before insulting them for theirs. Nothing but love and kindness your way. Be well!

  I used to enjoy it, but over time I ended up in a similar boat. Just a huge bust of anxiety, especially socially. But on the other hand, I feel pretty okay in the day to day. I’ve come to see it as a sort of forced introspection - not necessarily revealing anything I don’t already know about, but bringing it all to the surface and forcing the mind to see it. In that respect, it could still be drawing a line between feeling and how things are going.

  Not that it makes it necessarily more universal, but I think there’s a grain of truth.

  I think some of it depends on where you live, what repercussions you have if caught, and how safe you feel when doing them (environment, friends, activities, etc.). I’m good now, but when it was illegal where I live, I found it harder to enjoy weed.

  There also tends to be a level of anxiety felt strongly by those who bought into the “just say no” era of the war on drugs. That’s not bad, and I definitely understand it having been on the “drugs are bad, m’kay” side of things, but the more your believed minor drug use turned you into a junkie, the harder it was to question that.

  My older sister is one of those types who still believe the propaganda. I get it and do not push it, but when she brings it up, I talk honestly about it. I think it’s helped her feel comfortable about the idea, but not enough to try it. I respect that.
