It helped me with sever pain and fatigue, a good body high, but did nothing for my anxiety. May have even lead to heightening of anxiety. I have to look to a different strain for some pain. I imagine SBS would be good if you are NOT prone to panic attacks. Good thing I had a couple of beers around. Did find myself making a video of me lip-syncing to some Christmas music at one point though. But then uncomfortable thoughts of imminent danger came too intensely into my mind and I had to go into the TV room where my wife was, for comfort and distraction. I MIGHT try SBS again at a latter date as I have quite a bit left, but with MUCH cation and reserve.
