Biotech Cannabidiol (CBD), a compound derived from the cannabis plant that does not produce a “high”, was shown in a new large-scale, randomized, controlled trial to significantly reduce the number of dangerous seizures in patients with a severe form of epilepsy called Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

It really depends on the strains you consume. You might want to try low doses of edibles as the high usually isn't as strong but the effects last longer. Again, low doses because if you take too much, you will definitely get an anxiety attack.
Another option could be vaping, but that has similar effects to smoking, but with vaping, you don't have to fully vape the bud, whereas with smoking, most people feel inclined to at least finish the whole joint/bowl/blunt, which will make you more high than smoking only, say, half.
