An alternative to weed to calm you down

Panda, if you're still in this thread, I can't reply to the message (not a paid member).

Everyone should know, though.

Anxiety from Cannabis use is common and getting more so (folks' consciousness expanding.... not needing Cannabis?). I'm not talking about paranoia like "Dude! The cops are gonna catch us!" or "The neighbors might smell it!" I am talking about a more generalized anxiety. A need to move around, cleaning when the house doesn't need it, etc. are more along the lines of what I'm talking about. For this, herbalists use Anemone pulsatilla (Pasque flower). Sometimes, if it is wildcrafted, other species in this genus are used. It is moderately poisonous in large amounts, so don't overdo it. Most herbalists recommend 3-10 DROPS under the tongue.

This plant tincture can be a little hard to find. You might try PoppySwap.com like an Etsy for herbs.

If the anxiety is bad enough to stop using cannabis, you might try Pedicularis. I finally found a stand large enough to collect from this past Summer and, since I've got the anxiety, too, began to prefer it to Cannabis. You should know, though, that it is a fairly strong muscle relaxer and large doses can make it...... hard.... to move. Everything gets heavy and it can be a little frightening, but not harmful. You couldn't smoke enough to hurt you and would have a VERY hard time taking enough tincture to do so, though I wouldn't recommend trying.

hope it helps.....

If anyone else has questions, set up a callout thread or something, cuz I can't respond to messages.....for now.

Does it get you high?

Well it does raise your vibration

Try it. Cheaper too.

Just dry it & have it in tea. Or put the flowers in a bottle of vodka and let it sit a few weeks and drink it that way. Serious. I knew a guy who did this with St. Johns wort. A good nerve toxic. Just like ganny on the Beverly Hillbillies with her medicine she made by the cement pond.

Lemongrass tea (fresh herb) is quite relaxing. I like the taste more than lemon balm and lemon verbena. I grow all three of these herbs and they are wonderful for a variety of ailments.

Lemongrass will put me into a bit of such a relaxed state that I have to take a break if I drink it several days in a row. Seems to have a build-up effect on me. FWIW.

I give you 5*'s for the thread and the content.
I give you 1* for thinking that drinking tea calms you the same way that weed does.

One night drink the tea.
The next night smoke a joint (not even the whole thing, just a couple of hits).

You will discover the difference between the two at that point.

Lol, go ahead. It's 2012, you ninnies. If anything organic like a complete plant (soaked in hot water being a weed equivalent) wouldn't be widespread knowledge by know, I don't know what would ...

Watch out. That's all I can say.

meditation.

Arsehole government banned over the counter sales of St Johns Wort here in Ireland, only available on prescription from the Pharma loving doctors, who would prescribe some shit like prozac over that anyday.

Funny thing is, when I lived in the UK I used St Johns Wort to help me over my nicotine addiction. INstead the arseholes in this country would prefer to prescribe that shit drug to nicotine addicts, you know the one that comes with a suicide warning, whenn St Johns Wort really does help kick nicotine addiction.

Doctors & government are fucking arseholes!

I've found Passionflower to work well for my anxiety and when I have trouble sleeping.
