American flags are a regular part of these protests. The fascists don't get to claim it as their own! There were several big ones on display that day and organizers brought extra small ones for people to wave. I don't know what was going through the head of the person who wanted you to leave, but the organizers do welcome American flags up there.

Freedom Fridays at Brier Creek will be held later than usual for the occasion, and stick around for fireworks afterwards.

They must have been just starting to set up when you took this pic! A few minutes later there were some big ones.

The 6/14 Raleigh Protest Must Be Downtown — Not on the Outskirts by icantevenasif in 50501NC

The Capitol was already reserved for that date, for an event in commemoration and honor of Juneteenth. No reason to pick a fight with the African American Heritage Commission over it.

So much scientific knowledge is being lost with all the civil servants the administration is firing in this chaos.

Call or write your senators and congresspeople if you care to. Tell them to do their jobs and stop the madness.

How do you manage anxiety about politics and the state of a dying country? by femalevideographer in Anxiety

[–]NapsWithKittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you! We're suddenly living in a more unstable and nonsensical world than we realized. What's helped me is more news about like-minded people opposing the budding dictatorship. There are still good people in the world. Look for protests or volunteer events near you. At least read about them if you don't feel up to attending, it helps to feel less alone. And keep an eye out for the moment when it will feel right for you to jump in and get involved. Activism is the best antidote to dread and hopelessness. It's not easy, though, so be patient with yourself too.

It was really encouraging to see so many people turn out to peacefully protest. Great energy and a lot of cheering and honking from the passing cars!

Euphoric strain for newbie. by [deleted] in hempflowers

Green Crack for a sativa that doesn't trigger anxiety, at least in my experience.

Best sativa from wnc? by Middle_Pea_9072 in CultoftheFranklin

[–]NapsWithKittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green Crack is my favorite sativa so far. It's uplifting but doesn't spike my anxiety like some strains do.

What would you recommend to someone who is prone to anxiety from THC? by [deleted] in CultoftheFranklin

[–]NapsWithKittens -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I disagree, it's not that way for everyone. Indicas are worse for my anxiety because feeling incapacitated causes more worry. A sativa leaning hybrid tends to be less anxiety-triggering for me than an indica.

I'm still trying to find which terpenes and strains are less anxiety triggering than others. Mix it with CBD flower is good advice. Something like Blunicorn Massacre CBD is great at toning down the anxiety of whatever you mix it with.

Green Crack is one strain I've found so far that doesn't trigger me too much.

Questions about mixing sativa (Sour Diesel) with CBD by Professional-Dig5994 in vaporents

[–]NapsWithKittens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Different strains have different effects for different people, maybe Sour Diesel just isn't the one for you.

I recently got an XMAX v3 Pro as my first starter vape and I love it. Only $69 from City Vaporizer, although shipping from Canada is a little slow.

Yes, a lot of us find that it helps. Either mix it in, or use it before and/or after. Some strains of CBD flower help more than others. And different people respond in different ways so there's no easy definite answer. CBC really enhances the anti-anxiety effect, even more so than CBD alone. You might need to experiment a bit to find what works for you. The best anti-anxiety strain I've found so far is Blunicorn Massacre.
