Cannabis anxiety?

Chew on peppercorn.

Neil Young, ever the deep and profound sage, advised him, “Try black pepper balls if you get paranoid. Just chew two or three pieces.”

We at Leafly were curious: does chomping on peppercorns actually work? Sure enough, the next time a bit of unfortunate anxiety hit, even the smallest whiff of black pepper straight from the shaker was enough to quell any panic and anxiety, and the relief hit almost instantly.

I only ever experienced anxiety when I had had WAY too much. This would have been helpful. Thanks, this is good to know.

I am treating my cancer with massive amounts of THC, CBD as well as chemo and radiation. In the last week, thanks to the cop killer, https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211150799 I've been having severe anxiety when I get high. I don't like it. It was a problem years ago too, after the "shootout" as well. Hasn't flared up but on a few occasions and almost always with edibles or tincture involved. But now I am not even into getting high, or treated, because I don't want to go through it again.
