Weed

That's a really interesting point MissMac.

I have big problems with it because the 'high' symptoms emulate my panic attack symptoms and that in itself is enough to set me off. The dry mouth, rapid heart rate - no thanks!

I have noticed in some docos that I have watched that it is occasionally prescribed in the US for anxiety and depression, which I think is kind of strange because it is a depressant, but then again, so are benzos.

I'm not anti weed - it's just not for me anymore.

yea you are right, in the medical states it is prescribed for anxiety/depression. I helps alot of people and sadly gives some problems. The accelerated heart rate is one of the biggest causes for attacks. To me, benzos are the devil and no doctor should be prescribing them. My opinion. I try to stear people away from them, because they are truly just a quick fix, and it is very easy to abuse them.

I also don't have a problem with ganja, I just won't smoke it. The first time I smoked pot, I didn't get anxious. The second time I smoked pot, I had a panic attack.
For me benzos worked much better than weed.
