Medical Marijuana for Anxiety and Depression

Does Marijuana Help with Anxiety and Depression?

Researchers believe THC and CBC may ease the symptoms of anxiety and depression by acting upon the parts of the brain that regulate mood, anxiety, and emotion. Today, though, research on human beings is limited. Nevertheless, eight studies reviewed in 2017 reported that anxiety relief was a primary or secondary benefit of medical cannabis.

Always talk with your doctor before consuming medical cannabis for anxiety or depression. Not interested in a treatment that will get you high? Ask your doctor about medical cannabis products that are rich in CBD and also contain little-to-no THC.
