THC directly activates CB1 in the amygdala to reduce the fear response and the aversive memory recall in the hippocampus. Enhanced CB1 expression is seen in those with PTSD, showing receptors are seeking endocannabinoids to balance neurochemistry and to create homeostasis. PTSD itself can cause ECS deficiency as structural changes follow long periods of stress. THC activation at CB1 may begin to heal the damage. CBD reduces anxiety and depression evident in PTSD by activating 5-HT, calming and lifting mood.
