kama, like you I have found that Cannabis relieves my GAD but is illegal and too risky to try and obtain because I live in FL

Sooo… I’ve begun using “research chemicals” that are synthetic cannabinoids and I attain relief of my GAD with them as well. Specially a commercial brand named “down2earth” seems to have the most similar effects to really good cannabis. And its currently legal (as of Dec 2011)). AM2201 is the active ingredient, look it up. Problem is, all the synthetic cannaboinoids are up for review in March 2012…. they could ALL end up banned

We may have to move to California to see Dr. Breen!

I have GAD (not that i’m happy about it) and they put me on xanax at age 15. then paxil age 25. i’m 26.
i stopped the xanax age 19 because a friend gave me cannabis instead and i could not believe it. i could eat (i’m spent all my life since age 5 or 6 severely underweight- no body image issues, but just always nervous and easily nauseous) i could tolerate so much more around me and in my mind. i felt clear and calm.
but it is not legal, which makes it too hard to use as a regular supplement. In my short life (26 years) cannabis has been the only medicine to really really take hold and help. my BMI was once 16 that was at the beginning of the year. i abandoned paxil and i used cannabis again for a couple of months and now my BMI is 19.

i probably need therapy, but they could never manufacture something as pure and straight to the point as Cannabis. I don’t even use it recreationally. just enough to stop that burning panic in my chest and stomach that comes from no where and nothing sometimes. i’m in tears right now because I don’t know how to live like this. i need help. in my heart cannabis is the only this that helps me, but in this world, it is too dangerous.
I have true calm, and honestly i throw it up more often than not.

i once had to smoke a tiny joint just to take my meds because i could not stop throwing up. how ironic- take an herb to assist ingesting pharmaceutical rubbish…

in all, advise me… say something helpful or comforting…
thanks

Wow, this is incredible! For so long I’ve used cannabis as a way to treat my panic and anxiety, both severe, and my psychologists have always told me it’s bad and tried to get me to take SS(N)RI’s to treat me. NONE of the SSRI’s have worked, at all, they block bits and pieces of my anxiety and panic but leave me with thoughts of suicide and harm to myself and others. Cannabis has always been something that helps me. I’ve been addicted to Ativan as well. However Cannabis has never been a problem. I can smoke and go about my day doing everything as well, if not better, than when I don’t smoke. Thank you so much for taking the time to post this and give hope to so many people who are like me and feel like there’s no relief. Thank you!

Hey, i really know how its to suffer from a problem like this. I’ve struggling from this like a few months with the normal ups and downs so i really know to have a illness like this. At some website i found out some visitors were really satisfied about a capsule they got from the net and i also ordered it when i found those pills at – herbalhealingstore dot com -. So you see, these herbals do work, you just have to get the good ones!
