THC may activate the CB1 receptors in the amygdala and hippocampus, calming the fear and initiating a sense of wellbeing. CBD promote may Anandamide. Anandamide is the natural bliss compound, helping ease stress at CB1 in the brain. CBD may activate the Serotonin (5Ht1A) receptor, which would help create and retain Serotonin just like the anti-anxiety / antidepressant effects of SSRIs.
Current literature confirms that cannabinoids, endocannabinoids, synthetic derivatives, and other components of the cannabis plant intricately influence the biological foundations and emotional states pertinent to anxiety. CBD has been shown to reduce affectual aspects of anxiety without producing cognitive changes or sedative effects. Therefore, a chemotype III (with very low to trace amounts of THC) or a full spectrum CBD product may provide the safest and most tolerable option.
Both THC and CBD have the potential to influence the expression of GABA-A receptors. CBD’s slight antagonistic effect on CB1 could potentially explain its ability to alleviate acute THC-induced anxiety and psychoactive effects. High CBD may be considered as a viable counter-anxiety option for individuals consuming excessive amounts of THC.
