Discover the Best Cannabis Strains For Anxiety

Medizin The Best Cannabis Strains for Anxiety

Anxiety is one of the most commonly found mental health problems globally, and it is one of the top reasons people prefer consuming cannabis. However, similar to most medical claims, there’s very little known about the impacts of cannabis on anxiety. Still, the scientists are immensely involved in the research trying to inter-relate cannabis consumption with feelings of anxiety positively.

Though we don’t know much, a few aspects have been clarified by the research studies, such as the fact that pure THC could both decrease and increase anxiety at low and high doses, respectively. In contrast, pure CBD has the potential to decrease anxiety at whatever dosage. Also, the research has outlined that the impacts of cannabis over anxiety aren’t limited to the dosage and existence of CBD and THC in a product, but the compounds such as terpenes also play an integral role in defining the overall therapeutic ability of a cannabis strain.

Why Does Cannabis Soothe Anxiety at Some Dosage While Worsens It on Others?

To determine the answers, we’ve got to look closely at how cannabis interacts with the endocannabinoid system inside the human body.

The endocannabinoid system is a widespread system of receptors existing throughout the human body from the human brain to organs, skin, and guts. It helps our body produce cannabis-like compounds which react with these existing receptors to keep a healthy balance within the human body. However, our body cannot produce these compounds at times due to the lack of adequate mental health. That is where cannabis may come in to prevent our mental health from deteriorating and maintaining the required balance.

Studies have determined that the endocannabinoid system plays an integral part in regulating human responses to fear and stress. Considerably, there are abundant receptors available in the parts of the human brain, such as the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex, which helps in processing anxiety by responding to THC and CBD compounds. These studies determine that the higher dosage of THC can have an opposite impact on anxiety. It can cause an entirely different reaction with the neurons via the cannabinoid type I receptors.

Does Cannabis Interact with Other Anti-Anxiety Medications?

There’s minimal research being made regarding the interaction of cannabis with other anti-anxiety medications; however, some studies have highlighted which medicines could be integrated with cannabis without the fear of side effects and vice versa. However, the lack of extensive research compels us to avoid combining cannabis with other anti-anxiety medications without medical professionals’ consultation.

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) such as Paxil, Lexapro, Prozac, and Zoloft are commonly prescribed for anti-anxiety effects. And almost no conditions of adverse interactions between SSRIs and cannabis have been reported yet except for a few – giving them a clear head for being used together. The same is the case with Norepinephrine & Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitors (NDRIs) – making great anti-anxiety effects combined with the cannabis products.

Some medication calls for great precaution regarding their interaction with cannabis, for it may amplify various adverse side effects such as increased blood pressure or heart rate. They might include MAOIs (for example, phenelzine, tranylcypromine, and isocarboxazid), sedatives (for example, Ambien, Xanax, and Klonopin), and tricyclic antidepressants (for example, doxepin, imipramine, trimipramine, and amitriptyline).

Another significant consideration is determining how the interaction might complicate the tracking of anxiety symptoms in a human body. Thus, you shall stop consuming cannabis for a certain period of time to start an anti-anxiety medication to know whether and up to what level the medicine actually treats your anxiety on its own.
