Medical marijuana for my sister

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!!
I remember my sister's first panic attack very well. She was going through a difficult breakup and had just landed in Toronto. She was walking along through a crowded subway station, and suddenly the lights seemed very bright and it seemed like there were an awful lot of people. I remember her first mild depression symptoms. She explained her experience via text message it was like this.  
I notice the physical signs first. My heart is beating too heavily, its rhythm somehow irregular but much too fast. The muscles in my arms and legs tense painfully, my hands begin to shake, suddenly I forget how to breathe. Each breath is a struggle, each inhales or exhale more difficult than the last. I called my friend and he calmed me down a little and said to rest a bit. 
The psychiatrist she went to see later that day was very supportive and explained to her what was happening. She was suffering from mild depression at that time and she prescribed certain medications. It just gave her a temporary relief. Recently I heard about medical marijuana treatment and its advantages. It is a good medicine for people who are troubled with anxiety, depression, arthritis, migraine, sleep disorders, epilepsy etc. Will doctors suggest a high rate of prescription? Will this treatment have many side effects?  What if she is not happy with her prescription?

I've tried CBD oil in a vape. It works very well. There is no THC so you don't get high or feel in the slightest way impaired. I never realised how noisy my mind is until one day I vaped some and everything in my head seemed to quiet down and I was able to relax and just be present and in the moment. I've found it hit and miss though. One day it works great, the next not so much. It also gave me a headache if I have too much. Still worth a try though. 

On the other hand, I can't smoke weed at all. I don't relax and hate feeling not in control. It makes me feel derealization which I get enough of that just from panic attacks so don't want to do it to myself on purpose. CBD=good, THC=bad.
