Smoked from 1995 to 2024, when I switched to dry herb vape because of consistent headaches. I've had a few bake-overs from puffing a lot right before bed, but otherwise, nothing like whiskey. I know people who get anxiety from it, but I never seem to. :fingerscrossed:

I'm not sure you have had extensive experience with both substances. THC does not do the same thing as alcohol..... That's like comparing tylenol to fentanyl, imo. With that said, moderation is key with all things, both good and bad.

Different effects for different people. THC has been magic for my anxiety, keeping the overly self-critical voices and memories of embarrassing mistakes away, letting me actually enjoy moments instead of worrying all the time. I know some people who’ve developed paranoia when high, but thankfully that doesn’t seem to be a universal experience.

I found the right ratio of THC and CBD to be much better for anxiety with less short term (and likely long term) health effects than alcohol.

If I do THC alone then I get pretty anxious but everyone is different.
