Amazon, JP Morgan, and others companies are insisting you come back to the office.  Your neighbors are throwing a backyard bbq and have invited everyone, Aunt Mary Martha is having all the family over for Sunday lunch – everyone is getting back together and you just want to chill.  Ready to manage the return to medium and big events which causes anxiety for some people. Here is how to be discreet when using weed.

An estimated 12.1% of U.S. adults experience social anxiety disorder at some time in their lives and need help managing being with a group of others. Many people report using marijuana to cope. In a study by the University of Washington, THC appears to decrease anxiety at lower doses and increase anxiety at higher doses. CBD appears to decrease anxiety at all doses that have been tested.

In addition, according to another study, more than one-third of software programmers say they’ve used marijuana while working, with many finding that it helps promote creativity and get them into the “programming zone,” according to a new study.

So how do you do it?
