I take no issue with mild intoxicants used responsibly and don’t quite understand why it’s such a problem to you, myself. But, it’s your choice and your decision to make. Given this rigidity regarding “chasing euphoria” as you put it, it’s surprising that you’re even considering taking up using marijuana again. The psychoactive nature of it is responsible for the intoxication, I have a hard time considering it a euphoric effect. But, if you’re wanting something that helps with anxiety, it’s the typical relaxation that it provides, at least initially, that would do that. I doubt synthetic THC would have much of an effect at all upon anxiety. And then, there’s the issue that arose in my instance and in the instance of many people who used it over a period of years. The relaxation and happy feelings begin to turn into paranoia and panicky feelings, which are not relaxing or fun at all. That is, as I mentioned, the reason why I stopped using it over 25 years ago.
Good luck to you & I hope you find the relief you need asap!
people have doubted the efficacy of synthetics, since synthetics have existed; you may be quite right...but who would’ve thought that synthesizing a little white pill made from a bodily protein binding to GABA receptors would relieve anxiety? Yet exactly that was acheived with the variety of benzodiapines, which is the only thing that gives me relief...between benzos and cannabis for the ten years or so I probably have left, give me cannabis, if it works...
