Marijuana can help with anxiety in a variety of different ways.
Marijuana contains CBD which is an anxiety reducing and non psychoactive compound found in the plant.
CBD occurs naturally just like THC. THC helps to regulate our mood and can help to control anxiety. THC can have a very relaxing effect on our body and mind. There are other compounds inside of the plant like terpenes which can also have a good effect on our body and mind. Medical marijuana was prescribed to me in 2018 after I had a mental breakdown and ended up in the hospital. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks and they didn’t want me to leave. I had to get out of that place, so my mom signed forms that she would take custody of me and make sure that I went to all of my outpatient therapy. The doctor urged my mom to go to a medical marijuana treatment facility. He believed that I would qualify for medical marijuana and also believed that it would help a great deal with my mental health. The anxiety was causing me a lot of stress and mental anguish. Medical marijuana completely changed things for me. It feels like I have an entirely different life now that I have started using medical marijuana daily. I feel much more calm and relaxed and that has had a positive effect on my personal life, relationships, and work. My boss noticed the changes in my attitude and even put me in charge of a new project. Things are generally better for me since using marijuana.
