Anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions, and many people have turned to cannabis to help manage it. While THC and CBD can both have anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) properties, they affect people differently. Low doses of THC may ease anxiety, but high doses can sometimes increase it. CBD, on the other hand, has been shown in numerous studies to have consistent anxiety-reducing effects without intoxication. Methods of consumption include oils, capsules, and flower. Strains high in CBD, such as ACDC or Harlequin, are often preferred by those seeking relief from social anxiety or general stress. It’s important to track how different cannabinoids affect your mood and to use cannabis in moderation. Some users find success with microdosing — taking very small amounts — to maintain a calm, focused state. Always consult a mental health professional if anxiety persists or worsens.
