though I’ve picked up vaping because of my anxiety…
Seems like you’re already figured this out, but that doesn’t really mean anything. People start drinking alcohol (a depressant) because they’re depressed.
Oh hey I’ve gone through all three. Alcohol sucks. Weed kinda sucks too unless you smoke a lot all day. Small edible doses are where it’s at for casual occasional use.
Even Terrence McKenna said weed should only be smoked once a week.
I also remember reading when I was younger that if you’re eyes get RED then your abusing it.
I’m probably gonna sound super snobby here so apologies in advance, but I’m not really “using” anything. I was in a bad spot mentally for various reasons (extremely toxic relationship for one) and was smoking weed as a bandaid to deal with everything, but it was at a point where I was consuming copious amounts of concentrated weed 24/7 and acting like a total burnout just to try to feel normal. Once I was able to start getting my shit figured out and began dealing with things in a healthier way, I didn’t need to smoke anymore.
I should say that I do still smoke weed daily, probably more than I should, but I don’t feel agitated or anxious when I can’t go a few hours/ most of the day without lighting up like I used to. I also know it doesn’t actually help with anxiety and just having that knowledge in the back of my mind helped me stop using it like it did.
TL,DR; “it’s all in your head bro, just feel better” /s

Signed, a previously anxious pothead.

What if your eyes don’t turn red anymore? That’s a thing. I can be high as balls and nobody would know until I open my stupid stoner mouth.
Yeah that happens too.
What are you using to combat anxiety now if not pot? Weed mostly helps me with anxiety but then other times it really doesn’t lol
