Using cannabis to treat anxiety can be tricky, as a specific strain can calm some users but can make anxiety worse for others, even causing paranoia. However, the key difference is dosage, as small amounts of THC can be relaxing and reduce anxiety whereas moderate to high doses can have the opposite effect.
Also, the effects depend on other cannabinoids, primarily CBD, whose calming properties can enhance the anxiety-reducing properties of cannabis. On top of that, research has proved that some terpenes can help lower anxiety levels.
All of this means that finding the right strain of anxiety might be challenging, but worth the effort. Since every strain offers a different mix of terpenes and cannabinoids, here’s a list that will help you find your best strain for anxiety based on patient feedback.
