So, I think the strain I bought, Ripley, is making me uneasy. The same thing happened with 92 Cookies.
So far, Electric Bubble and Cookies and Cream are my top choices with AC/DC being a great CBD strain.
Still bummed out today - hoping this passes.
tbh, anything cookies (or anything high
myrcene), sometimes og kush varieties (larry is the exception, although it was one of these high-ups-and-hard-crashes ones)... they tend to make me the depressed type of anxious, like i want to jump out of my skin... like existential trepidation sometimes. cookies and cream/ gmo are tolerable, even good... but i prefer the chem/ diesel/ dawg- heavy offerings.
i like to stick with high caryophyllene (bcp), low myrcene and moderate everything else.
beta ocimene and linalo-ol seem pretty good, limonene is fine or great, the pinenes seem to wear off quickly iirc so no real issue once the high settles in.
i suspect that the
sesquiterps in general are what i'm after (side note, i LOVE the smell of cedar and also sandalwood to an obsessive level, iirc they both have a bunch of sesquiterps... also am obsessed with black pepper and grains of paradise, perhaps there's a subconscious message in there somewhere telling me what things will work) amber resin is my soulmate, i wonder what is in it...
addendum:
(sorry, for adding so much, lol i keep going back and reading more of your comments)
i just remembered, a couple of strains that helped me in terms of weed- induced anxiety:
mag landrace and
cherry chem, also
purple punch to an extent and some unknown (i forget)
bubba kush related variety and a
chemdawg/ mag landrace hybrid (
mag '91? i think?),
iirc... each of these (in order of most helpful first, mag landrace being the best one for this) was AMAZING as a daytime indica, ie serious
relaxation without lethargy (i hate indicas and the hard crash strains that make me feel burnt out and stupid/ tired, these are NOT like that) ... they really smacked the anxiety down, with NO weed- induced existential trepidation AT ALL, which is typically a problem for me with ANY strain.)
also, i REALLY like rso... as long as it was the right one. some ramped up the anxiety... and yet others (typically the dark, thick, used motor- oil looking ones) put me to sleep.
the good ones were right in the middle (stardawg, for instance), nice and relaxing without draining me.
i recommend titrating VERY carefully with rso (and screw edibles, they are always too expensive per mg... and not reliable... but a good
rso is KING!!)
One word and one word only N-O-R-T-H-E-N L-I-G-H-T-S best strain ever as long as it is proper one fuck i want some northen lights
good news, northern lights is in sooooo many strains these days, it's pretty much ubiquitous... you can't hardly throw a stone without hitting a sack of a nl hybrid.
for some reason (it's bag appeal, lol.. that, and shorter flowering season and bigger yields... sativa/ indica hybrids really put out), the thing to do all throughout the 90s (and still to this day, when the rare landrace is stumbled upon) was to find a really nice landrace sativa (say,
santa marta gold, for instance) and water it down with NL or some other commercial grade indica.
don't get me wrong, i love me some northern lights and a good pakistani or afghani indica (or iranian, in the case of mag landy)... but i tend to like em separate (cept for a few select strains, like the diesels). i could go for a good haze right now...for whatever reason, pure sativas don't give me the existential weed trepidation like the 50/50 hybrids tend to.
anyway, this goofy rant was brought to you by vertigo from the very first covid infection i've had, cheers!
