Hi bro. As someone who has personal experience of this. Don’t smoke weed all day and night it makes it worse after a few weeks.

When I fall in the “hole”, weed can be so beneficial, the insomnia is taken out straight away. I don’t dream when I smoke weed too, so the nightmares fuck right off too. The aggression goes away as well.

But.... (and I appreciate you other half isn’t me)... if I keep going at it day and night, my tolerance goes through the roof and I don’t get stoned really. It costs £ and the worse part... when I run out... well... I’m a cunt. I can’t put it another way. An absolutely horrible cunt.

amnesia is a strain that I find effective or blue cheese, for insomnia and anxiety.

Wish you and your other half all the best brother

Again good advice there also Gen.

Sativa in the day and indica at night is a straight vector to dependency. You will have zero energy without weed. Exercise and nutrition form a good core regimen for the conditions you described. Forgive me if you are already there.

When that doesn't work hit the sativa for an anti depression boost - start super small or the anxiety will take over. For natural anxiety hit the cbd with a little bit of indica. Have a powerful indica as your ace in the hole.

50% cbd and 50% thc mix should work for depression well.
In my experience weed and excercise combo works well for beating depression. I would sugest start with excercising every day. Only doing weed will work only when high, rest of the time will be the same or worse. You can get hooked on weed very quickly when you have depression and that can be expensive. Don t jump from one pithole to onother.
Magic mushrooms can help alot but that should be done by someone experienced in the field.
In essence, I would recomend research as much as possible about it and only then use substances.
Good luck with getting better.

Hey! I self-medicate for PTSD, specifically the crippling insomnia aspect.

Wouldn't personally recommend weed with depression, not daytime use anyway - but if she absolutely can't get through the day at the moment, then investing in a dry herb vape is probably a good idea (she can save the vaped bud (AVB) in a little pot, take a tiny pinch in the morning, and it will hopefully keep her fairly mellow without fogging her brain too much). THC can be a nightmare with anxiety (as you've probably gathered from your research), so take it really really slowly for the first few days/ weeks. As for which strain - with my PTSD, I just go for any strong indica and vape small amounts at night. If, 2-3 hours after going to bed, I'm still wide awake and flooded with adrenaline, I go vape a little more, and the second time normally allows me to drift off.

Hope the therapy goes well. Some therapists are awful, some are amazing - hope your other half gets the latter.

Might be worth trying some CBD flower (high cbd and THC under 1%), can buy it legally online in a lot of countries. It's a bit odd because if you smoke or vape it you don't feel like you expect but you might notice that you are just relaxed and calm. You can also mix it with higher THC weed to get whatever balance of CBD/THC you want.

I'd also recommend speaking to a doctor and seeking therapy if your other half hasn't already, weed is good but it doesn't solve everything, I find that the benefits are often short term and it's not normally realistic to be stoned 24/7.

I use Hemphash (UK) and they are reliable and sell well priced cbd flowers. I haven't tried cbd vape juice, I buy flowers because I have a herbal vapouriser so it's easier to use, also because I can mix it up with THC bud.

Hope your other half gets into therapy soon, the waiting lists are all too often ridiculously long and governments should put a lot more emphasis on mental health in my opinion.

Hi, as already mentioned CBD flower from hemphash in UK is very good. The super tooty fruity strain being my favourite. Being a chronic anxiety sufferer i can provide a little anecdotal experience and suggestions:

If your other half doesnt smoke i recommend either dry herb vaping or making edibles. I generally use home made cannabis oil to treat my anxiety by microdosing so taking a teaspoon which doesnt get me so noticebaly high but lasts a long time. I then vape a mix of CBD flower and some decent bud from here:) this has nothing to do with self medicating i do this as i enjoy the ritual of grinding flower, loading the vape and even better adapting it to a water pipe for even more smoothness.

I think buying some assorted bud shakes on here and infusing into olive oil after decarbing would be the most cost effective way but of course i am certainly no doctor. Best of luck:)

Convection vapes will be generally more pricey than conduction models. Also be sure something advertised as being convection isn't a hybrid as often the case. I personally use a CFC Tera which is 100% convection. I paid a little over 100 pounds which is good for full convection. My friend has a firefly 2.0 which is a great portable convection model but its 230 notes. I additionally have the CFC boundless 2.0 at 60 pounds (conduction) which i use with the pipe adaptor in my bong for smoother hits.

If you want a desktop convection vape the volcano is the holy grail in terms of quality but also in terms of price.

Agreed with greencigar below, don’t discount thc just yet, plays a very important role also, it’s down to dose and strain.... weed isn’t just weed anymore, you hit her with a heady sativa in a decent dose and she’ll likely be a wreck and put her off for good, research strains like Northern Lights, Grandaddy Purp, my current fave Slimer OG, all I find help hugely with my PTSD, anxiety and depression, it’s no cure but a band aid is enough sometimes.

Micro doses of THC can work wonders for depression. Also, a daily dose of whole plant extract CBD really brings things down to earth. It can be very difficult to manage, but strain research will always be beneficial. Getting the balance between calming and depression beating effects is not easy. Initially focus on lower doses of THC and combining this with exercise as someone else mentioned. I find that moderate doses of CBD and THC, combined with walks and time in nature bring the best results. I have also found that decarbed bud in capsules can offer a rather balanced and not too heavy effect throughout the day. The best of luck to you and yours. GC

Could check out MJ concentrates. They’ve got full spectrum cbd/thc tinctures that you drop under your tongue.

As someone suggested, MJ Concentrates do a thc / cbd oil which has been a game changer for me. Can get Indica, sativa or hybrid.

Hash is usually a better all round balanced blend of cannabinoids where the effects I find are more relaxing for ptsd, more of a tranquil chilled out mellow vibe

Some weed wires you up I think

Whats the budget? Volcano?

I have the Arizer Solo which is a couple years which and never had any complaints about it. There is a newer updated version (Arizer Solo II) which I've good things about.
