I haven't smoked it in years, but now it's all I can think about. My cat is dying, my life is total shit, no job, most of my family not talking to each other. I can't pull my stmoach out of my throat. Each day my anxiety level rises, as I continue to think "Well, it certainly can't get any worse." My stomach does flip-flops 24/7 and I'm wearing thin. The depression is bad enough, but this is hell.
I have never purchased marijuana before. The last time I smoked it, I was in high school and there was always someone else who would get it. Do I just drive into downtown Los Angeles, into the bad parts, hoping someone will aproach me? LOL - I seriously don't know what to do. I've lived here 7 months and know no one. I would probably even perform oral sex on somebody I don't know in exchange for the opportunity to buy weed. God, I'm in agony and some pot is my only way out. Weird to think this way after having not smoked it in over 6 years, huh? I guess it's just that every other option is gone. (drinking makes me really sick - migraines)

Have you talked to a doctor about your anxiety? There are legal medications that can help. Stick with us on social someone will be able to help you out. I think the board may be quieter than usual because of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Zantac can be bought over the counter through any pharmacy, there are generic brands which are cheaper. This won't cure your stomach but may give you periods of relief. (Avoid caffeine products meanwhile your stressed. For some reason I crave them when I should least be taking them.)
Trading sexual favours for a period of relief from your angst isn't a good idea, it'll just add to it. If you were just ranting ignore my comment. There really should be support groups for people who have lost a pet. The grief is probably similar to losing a family member, but is made worse because sometimes it's hard to find understanding from our fellow human friends.
Hang in there!
BEST WISHES

dear hrtlm,
please *do not* go out in the streets on LA to look for weed and certainly, certainly do not perform oral sex on anyone to obtain it!
i smoked for the first time last night since seven months ago and i felt pure bliss.
you need to meet people. do you have a job? there's a rule on this board now about how to (not) obtain illegal drugs...however, i believe that marijuana has, at times, saved me from suicide or serious self-harm. so i can't tell you where to get it, all i can say is um, feel people out a little. there are tons of stoners everywhere, from college students to businesspeeps.
*smell the air*
look for birkenstocks/ dreadlocks :)
never buy anything from someone you don't know
get to know your neighbors
i agree with Willow too, about the medicinal route, but no anti-anxiety pill has ever made me feel as relaxed and blissful than a joint or a few bong hits.

best,
sar

Hmmmmmm.....
I had to think a while before deciding to respond to this post. That being said, take my comments with a grain or two of salt.
OK,first, I was a "chronic" pot smoker during the 70's, so I know what that is like as a way of "escaping reality". However, it never really got you better, just number.
A few years back, I had the opportunity to "get" some pot, so I did. I smoked a little now and then as I was also taking AD meds. First, your feelings of anxiety will most likely NOT be helped by pot, but exacerbated. I have NEVER felt so paranoid in my life as I have when stoned. This did not change during my re-visiting pot a few years ago.
I really think you should consider some other options here. I don't think that pot is going to be the panacea you are hoping it will be..
