CBD Mango Haze

I used this strain to treat my postpartum depression after having my third child. I'd had postpartum depression twice before, and had gone the conventional route of drugs and therapy, etc., but they never worked for me. When growing became legal in my state, I went for it and grew this strain and three others, and never looked back. This was definitely my favorite strain for when I had to get things done (which is, honestly, all the time for me). This was the best for treating depression while also allowing me to function. Obviously, due to the low THC content, there are few psychoactive effects - this was ideal for me as I have 3 children to look after. Some of the pharmaceuticals prescribed to me (that I didn't end up taking) have much greater psychoactive effects than cannabis, so I felt ok going this route. CBD Mango Haze creates a nice, gentle quieting of depression and anxiety. When I felt like an anxiety attack was about to come on, I'd take 3 hits off the vaporizer and then, instead of hyperventilating and crying, I was able to put the baby in the carrier and go outside with my kids, another time we created a miniature golf course in our living room, for example. It helped pull me out of that dark place where life truly doesn't make sense, and I felt more in charge of my own mind, and if you struggle or have struggled with depression or anxiety, you know what I'm talking about.

Though it's definitely a high quality smoke, I love this flower mostly for making tinctures. There are three big reasons for this. 1. Total Cannibinoid Percentage: The flowers I got ahold of were 14% THC and 16% CBD. This means I can use a whopping 30% of these flowers for medicine in my tinctures. 2. Flavour: The light tropical flavour is pleasant, and will not leave you with skunky weed breath (UK Cheese, I'm looking at you!). 3. Sativa dominance: A lot of the most effective high cannibinoid and high CBD strains are indica dominant. A tincture that makes one a bit sleepy is not as desirable during the day as one that gives a boost of energy, which this strain does.

This is the best strain for an panic disorder in my opinion! Smells amazing and the high CBD content is ideal for me as THC can actually worsen my anxiety. Highly functional after use due to the high CBD content - a truly medicinal strain - not for the more hardcore smokers that just want to get really baked - just wish the UK would follow suit and legalise it medically (and eventually recreational too.)
