[MrShpongle]

Haven't heard of this before.  Would be awesome if true for many people.

Cookies have always worked for me.

 

Good information though, very interesting.

That is interesting.  I wonder if it works for anxiety brought on by other causes or if it just offsets the thc effect.

there was something about the possibility of ibuprofen taking off the 'high' of marijuana.

but i see the original study was done on rats. maybe someone who takes ibuprofen can chime in.

I can't think of any drug interaction between ibuprofen and cannabis. I have used both for a long time.

 

I'm going to try the pepper later on today. Maybe a 4-5 patient quick study.

Anxiety ? Try a Kush strain.

Anxiety ? Try a Kush strain.

We will try OG and pepper in a peace pipe. Will call it the anxiety trifecta.

Just in case someone thinks about trying it, being pepper-sprayed at a demonstration does not reduce your anxiety.  

[t-pain]

wait, no one said to smoke the pepper.

 

i think just smelling freshly ground pepper should be enough.

 

heres the ibuprofen article

^^ Yup. And make sure you use peppercorns, not fine black pepper. lol Good planning is priceless.

[t-pain]

you can find good cheap black peppercorns at indian grocery stores.

 

if you've never had real black peppercorns, they are a bit more spicy than the mccormack crap they sell for $5 a bottle.

since the day I grew my own cannabis I have never experienced marijuana induced anxiety. I've grow every cup winner from several countries, and a few hundred other strains as well. makes me wonder what that anxiety was, when occasionally a sack would cause it. sometimes bad in some people. I don't miss that crap at all.

I use a grinder for whole peppercorns. It can be used to adjust the size of the grind and the results are great. I haven't experienced anxiety in a loong time using, but it's good to know.

Sometimes, it’s just a matter of trial and error: find the right strain, the right time, and the right setting in which to consume cannabis. But if you’re met with a case of pot paranoia, just throw some pepper on that bowl.

 

Reads to me like they meant to smoke it..  IDK ? i'll try it an see

Didn't do a thing for my mind. If you smoked enough it made your tongue hot. Now the Kush, it works for anxiety.

[imiubu]

Very interesting.

I am going to give it a try... sniffing fresh ground peppercorns that is,

think I'll opt out of smoking it though, LOL!

 

I do and have always had anxiety just after smoking cannabis.

How I deal with it is knowing that in about 20 - 30 minutes the

anxiety will dissipate.

 

Okay, experiment is on.

Fresh packed bowl... check.

Fresh ground peppercorns... check.

 

Report to follow.

Must be a very large bowl , huh?   

[GregS]

Wow man. I smelled black pepper after a big bowl. Not only am I not paranoid or anxious, but there are no elephants for miles around. Coincidence?

[t-pain]

maybe imi learned that burnt inhaled pepper is just like pepper spray? ;p

the elephants are in the band

LOL knuck!

 

I felt I should run the experiment several times for the best evaluation

 

I used fresh ground peppercorn as that is what I had on hand.

I did not smoke it, only sniffed it immediately after consumption.

 

I grind my pepper very fine.  It does make me sneeze when used.

I discovered that I did not sneeze once, sniffing it after

cannabis consumption.  I felt that worth reporting, lol.

 

As far as whiffing pepper after cannabis... I will have to experiment

a little more    I know I felt less anxiety, but there are many variables

that I want to be sure.

I am experimenting with a Sativa dominant strain also.  I really want

to put this theory to the test

BUT does smelling toe cheese really make you smarter?

Only if you have to count above ten.

[trichcycler]

have you considered marijuana possibly not being the cause of your anxiety ?   or, "who cares, anxiety sucks and I just want to get rid of it while I medicate dangit" ?
