In the last year or so I have started to notice extreme anxiety when smoking cannabis. Seeing as I work on a medical grow farm and have a card, the substance that used to help me tremendously started to induce extreme anxiety (starting off at first as dysphoria racing thoughts and unbearable shoulder tension).

As I am an experienced college student, I started doing intense researching; desperately searching for anything and everything that might help, alleviate, and in the end completely prevent the anxiety and panic attacks that I had set out to cure. I found so many things in my quest. Trying kava kava, GABA, 5 htp, natural l-dopa from velvet beans, xanax, alcohol, ect ect ect. That was when I stopped searching for substances and started getting to the nitty gritty. I studied deep inside the human brain, and how it interacts with marijuana.

It didn't take me long till I stumbled upon biochanin a, found naturally in red clovers, which is a naturally occurring faah inhibitor that scientists are currently researching in hopes to create something with similar qualities.

I ordered a red clover extract, with guaranteed up to 18 mg of biochanin a per tablet. I have been taking them 2x a day for the last month, and at first I was a little panicky, but then I realized this was just my brain connecting the pot with panic, without any physiological reason. Obviously a learned response of my brain. And after this extract had been circulating in my body for about a week, I could eat all the pot I wanted, smoke all I wanted, etc. it put me at ease like never before! A new high! I Noticed more then anything that my shoulder and neck tension is gone. I am a new me, anxiety free.
