<strong>Alleviate</strong> <strong>Anxiety</strong> <strong>Symptoms</strong> <strong>Without</strong><br />

<strong>Prescription</strong> <strong>Medications</strong><br />

Living with anxiety is painful!<br />

Trouble concentrating, excessive worrying, unable to open up in front of<br />

new group, trouble sleeping, etc. can affect a patient’s life in various ways.<br />

Although there’s a wide range of medications for treating anxiety available,<br />

they’re associated with unpleasant side-effects. Medical researchers have<br />

found that cannabis can be used as a natural treatment for anxiety. As a<br />

result, more and more people are applying for medical marijuana<br />

recommendations in Orange County and other regions where medical<br />

cannabis is legal.


In this post, we will discuss how can the herb help in alleviating symptoms<br />

of anxiety and what are the best cannabis strains for this condition.<br />

Medical Cannabis for <strong>Anxiety</strong> - How Does It<br />

Work?<br />

<strong>Anxiety</strong> is a common condition in the United States. According to the<br />

<strong>Anxiety</strong> and Depression Association of America, anxiety disorders affect<br />

about 18.1% of the US population every year.<br />

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is an effective treatment for anxiety.<br />

The therapy works by correcting thinking patterns and changing the<br />

thoughts of patients about themselves and others.<br />

Medical researchers have found that cannabis has medicinal properties,<br />

which can help in managing symptoms of anxiety. As the herb is illegal as<br />

per federal regulations, people interested in using it for medical purposes<br />

can apply for 420 med evaluations online.<br />

To understand the cannabis’ effectiveness in treating this condition, it’s<br />

important to learn about the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a biological<br />

system exists in the human body. Clinical endocannabinoid deficiency<br />

occurs when the body doesn’t produce enough endocannabinoids, which is<br />

usually due to the production of too many enzymes (FAAH, MAGL).<br />

The ECS deficiency can lead to several psychological conditions, of which<br />

anxiety is one. And, cannabis can help in correcting it. The<br />

endocannabinoids in the body resemble the cannabinoids produced by the<br />

cannabis plant. The phytocannabinoids interact with the receptors found in<br />

the ECS, thus regulating various functions such as memory, sleep, appetite,<br />

etc.


According to a study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders,<br />

smoking cannabis can help in reducing anxiety, depression, stress, etc. in<br />

the short term.<br />

Cannabis contains over 100 cannabinoids (THC and CBD being the most<br />

researched ones), which provide medicinal benefits. THC is responsible for<br />

causing high feelings while CBD doesn’t cause any high feelings.<br />

Those who don’t want to use cannabis for relieving anxiety without getting<br />

high can use CBD oil. It’s a cannabis extract that doesn’t contains THC.<br />

This non-psychoactive cannabinoid increases 5-HT1A transmission, thus<br />

affecting serotonin faster than SSRIs. Probably, for this reason, CBD<br />

products are considered for overcoming limitations of anti-anxiety<br />

medication therapies.<br />

Although CBD can help in treating anxiety and addiction, more research<br />

needs to be done in this area.<br />

When it comes to using cannabis for relieving anxiety, choosing the right<br />

strain is necessary. Thus, when getting MMJ recommendations, you should<br />

seek professional help regarding dosage and strain.<br />

Here’re some of the top strains for anxiety<br />

patients-


• White Widow<br />

• Pennywise<br />

• Stephen Hawking Kush<br />

• Grandaddy Purple<br />

• Harlequin<br />

• Skywalker OG<br />

• Master Kush<br />

• ACDC<br />

• Sour OG<br />

Covering it up—anxiety can affect a patient’s life in many ways. There’s a<br />

wide range of anti-anxiety medications available in the market, but they are<br />

associated with various unpleasant side-effects. Medical researchers have<br />

found that cannabis can be used as an effective treatment for anxiety<br />

symptoms. The herb contains amazing cannabinoids (such as THC and<br />

CBD), which work by interacting with the endocannabinoid system of the<br />

body.


As everyone’s condition is different, choosing the right dosage and strain is<br />

important. See a doctor to analyze your condition and get professional help<br />

for cannabis strains.<br />
