ACDC
4/26/2016
This is so far, by far, my absolute favorite high CBD strain. I've been taking benzos for over twenty years, something I wish were not the case, but when I smoke ACDC, the effects are infinitely preferable. It treats my panic disorder with agoraphobia, OCD, and generalized social anxiety better than any benzo ever has, which is an amazing thing.
With just one to two nugs, I'm rewarded with a beautiful sense of relaxation. No noise in my head, no OCD thoughts. I feel happy. I can laugh and smile and my mind isn't in a constant loop of fear and anxiety. It's sad to say this, because I've only been living half a life *for* half my life, but ACDC allows me to feel good about myself and to feel unafraid. This plant is a true gift.
After being on Valium for so many years, as some out there may know, the effects don't quite work any longer and what you're basically doing is taking the pill so you don't suffer from what are horrific withdrawals. With the help of ACDC, I've even been able to (slowly!) taper my dosage somewhat and those feelings of withdrawal--which from a benzo are extremely unpleasant and can be deadly--are not quieted completely but they are calmed considerably.
ACDC does, however give me a terrible headache, but it's something I'm willing to overlook. I may stop smoking and begin to vape it, but it just works so well that I'm reluctant to switch things up. Feeling baseline and normal, able to leave the house and enjoy a night out with friends is such an incredible, beautiful gift.
The 20 to 1 ratio is what works best for me, I've tried strains of ACDC that were kind of off, like 16 to 4 or 12 to 3, for me the magic number really does seem to be that 20 to 1.
A great plant and I like it even more than Cannatonic, which can make me a little bit paranoid; not something I need!
If you've struggled with anxiety, please, please give this plant a try? It has honestly changed my life.
