Paranoia can be a downside of consuming high-THC strains, and it’s one of the main side effects that prevents medical patients from using cannabis. Research has confirmed that paranoia is caused by too much THC by itself, but also by the wrong set and setting. Another factor is the presence of CBD in your weed.
CBD seems to counteract the anxious and paranoid effects of THC, and when combined with specific terpenes such as caryophyllene, can eliminate the undesired side effects.
