Cannabis for Stress Relief

Medical Marijuana for Stress

Stress is part of the human condition. We all experience it every day. Research study participants have reported reducing anxiety and stress as the second strongest reason why they consume marijuana. (Pain ranks number one.)

Many people, maybe your friends or co-workers, relieve stress by consuming cannabis. Cannabis use may even pay off over the long term: Reducing everyday stress can prevent developing chronic stress and serious anxiety disorders.

Animal studies have reported stress reduction benefits from consuming CBD or low doses of THC. Studies of human beings remain limited, but doctors in many states regularly prescribe cannabis to patients to reduce stress.

As always, talk with your doctor before using medical cannabis to manage stress.
