It's not for everyone. And for anxiety, it works differently. Some of the really strong strains will give you anxiety like you've never felt before, making the actual day-to-day anxiety seem mellow in comparison. I guess that's one way to describe it. Still hard to explain. I don't take it daily anymore though. What that does is allow your mind to be more accepting of things that aren't quite working out. Doesn't give the energy to solve them. But again, the effects are different for almost everyone.
