Cannabis's effects seem pretty paradoxical on the surface. Some people call Mary Jane their best friend, enjoying feelings of relaxation, profound insight, and a release from troubled nerves. Others spurn the devil's lettuce, overwhelmed by feelings of paranoia, depersonalization, and panic.
A new study confirms that particular chemicals in weed are responsible for the drug's two-sided nature, and that particular strains – those with high levels of cannabidiol (CBD) and negligible tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – are more effective at easing anxiety than others.
The findings add to mounting evidence that CBD can be an effective anxiety treatment, but legal prescriptions and products are still relatively new territory in the countries where they've been embraced.
The research team from University of Colorado Boulder wanted to study how the levels of CBD and THC in legal market forms of cannabis affected user's experiences of anxiety, as opposed to oils, gummies, or tinctures.
