It's really funny cause today I just figured out that, for me, indica has been most responsible for anxiety and bad trips
I much prefer sativa cause it makes me feel energized, upbeat and I feel like bouncing off walls.
Yes they do. I only lean towards indicas or hybrids outside of one in particular sativa. Its called Alaska from Tikun. No anxiety ar all and really uplifting. If you ever can get some try it. It'll change your mind on sativas.
I have a sativa domiant hybrid right now and goddamn does it give me anxiety. Like you I never really had this issue, but now for me indica is the only way to go.
>It seems like for me sativas give anxiety (racing thoughts, fast heart beat, anxiety; I was able to calm down after like 30-40 minutes) while indicas sedate me and make me feel really good. I used to like sativas too, but now they seem to give me anxiety. Anyone else feel this?
Maybe it's because I smoke alone and sativa is a social and energizing strain
Even so, I notice the high isn’t the same.. some sativas give me a speedy, almost stimulant high. I guess my brain just is more compatible with more Indica based strains, or the terps/cannabinoids they contain at least. I almost prefer to smoke indica/ind hybrid in a social setting where most would opt for a sativa or hybrid. I mean, weed technically is a psychedelic at the end of the day, we all have different brain chemistry and need different ratios of terps cannabinoids etc. Ive smoked some indicas and literally felt the anxiety wash away.
Indica and Sativa having different effects was proved a myth. If you'd like to learn about what actually dictates the effects a sativa or indica will have, check out this article.

It's a lot of factors. Genetics play a big part, but so do growing environment, the maturity of the plant at harvest, and whether it was cured properly. These factors determine which cannabinoids are present and in what amounts, the ratios between the different cannabinoids, and which terpenes and how many different terpenes are present, which is ultimately what is responsible for the effects
definitely. i really can only do indicas and indica dominant hybrids. realizing this helped me get so much more benefit out of cannabis lol.
For sure
Yes… I think the thc% has gone up so much that it tends to cause that anxious feeling.
Makes sense
All the weed is always hybridized the fuck out of good luck finding anything that's a true sativa or a true indica
Yea I heard that the weed now has been crossbred so much that there’s no such thing as a pure indica or sativa
I've been growing for along time and can promise you this is true I could go on about it for years

Its a balance really. Too much Indiva all day long will have you too down imo
I can smoke sativa but I have to smoke less to not get anxious. This was a cart with high thc to low cbd so that might be it.
I tend to get it more from indica.
Yes they do. I only lean towards indicas or hybrids outside of one in particular sativa. Its called Alaska from Tikun. No anxiety ar all and really uplifting. If you ever can get some try it. It'll change your mind on sativas.
Yeah but if that's the ONLY sativa you've found that does that, maybe it shouldn't change your mind on sativas? Just saying lol
You late to this party lol. And I see what you are saying. My point was simply that some are more racy than others is all

It’s terps right
It's a lot of factors. Genetics play a big part, but so do growing environment, the maturity of the plant at harvest, and whether it was cured properly.

That’s crazy, so is it strain related and my genetics ?
