COMPLETELY

Anxiety disorders are common among Americans. The
Anxiety Depression Association of America says
that about 40 million adults in the country have
an anxiety disorder. Anxiety sufferers often have
difficulty concentrating, sleeping at night,
talking to strangers, etc. Other symptoms of
anxiety include excessive worrying, irrational
fears, panic attacks, tense muscles, and
fatigue. Medical marijuana is effective in
managing symptoms of a wide range of conditions,
of which anxiety is one. Theres a wide range of
studies available, which say cannabis provides
ultimate relaxing, anti-anxiety effects. And,
more are being done. In the United States, over
30 states have legalized medical marijuana. Each
state has its own list of MMJ qualifying
conditions and rules regulations for cannabis
users

Marijuana For Anxiety Depression

For treating anxiety, theres a wide range of
treatment options available. Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy (CBT) is a well-known therapy, which is
focused on altering the thinking patterns of
patients and helping them to boost mood, focus,
and sleep.
Medical marijuana contains amazing compounds,
which can help in managing depressive episodes
and other symptoms. However, cannabis is also
helpful in managing pain, ending excessive
worrying, boosting memory. Scientists have found
that there exists a biological system in the
body, called the endocannabinoid system (ECS),
which plays a main role in different bodily
functions. Endocannabinoid deficiency can
interfere with sleep, mood, and appetite.
Marijuana has more than 100 cannabinoids, which
bind to receptors in the ECS, thus changing
different bodily functions.
Marijuana interacts with various parts of the
brain and target receptors to provide relaxation
and calming effects. For example, cannabinoids
interact with the amygdala, thus reducing anxiety
and promoting mental relaxation.

Those who want to end negative thoughts,
excessive worrying, and other depression symptoms
without experiencing high effects can use
high-CBD and low-THC strains. CBD (cannabidiol)
is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, which is known
for providing anxiety relief and
anti-inflammatory effects. The Food Drug
Administration (FDA) has approved a CBD-infused
medication called Epidiolex for the treatment of
seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome
or Dravet syndrome. According to a study
published in the Journal of Affective Disorders,
marijuana can help in reducing levels of stress,
depression, and anxiety. However, this is true
for short-term use, and for repeated use,
marijuana may link to worsening the
symptoms. Marijuana is also helpful in boosting
sleep, thus managing sleep disorders, PTSD, etc.
Researchers have found that cannabis consumption
can reduce the amount of time you spend in REM
sleep and increase the deep sleep.

Marijuana Strains For Anxiety Sufferers
7
Its important to note that at medical
dispensaries, theres a wide range of strains
with different THC and CBD levels. Each strain
delivers different effects to different people.
For instance, one strain providing relief to one
patient may not work for another. So, you should
analyze your condition and carefully choose the
strains.
Heres a list of strains for depression anxiety
sufferers-
  • Harlequin
  • Skywalker OG Kush
  • ACDC
  • Blueberry Lambsbread
  • Sour Tsunami
  • Kosher Kush
  • Bubba Kush
  • Haoma
  • Cannatonic
  • Valentine X

To sum up, depression anxiety can lead to sleep
problems, trouble concentrating, and relationship
problems. Medical researchers have found that
marijuana contains amazing chemical compounds,
which can help in providing relaxation, boosting
sleep, and managing other depression symptoms
effectively. When using cannabis for anxiety
relief, its important to choose the right dosage
as repeated marijuana use may lead to worsening
the condition instead of improving. Additionally,
you should choose the right strains based on your
condition.
