Question 1

Can cannabis help with anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Low doses of cannabis, especially CBD-dominant products, can help reduce anxiety for many people. The key is starting with very low doses of THC (1 to 2.5mg) and choosing strains with calming terpenes like linalool and myrcene. CBD products with minimal THC are a great starting point. Cannabis is not a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.

Question 2

What strains are best for anxiety?

Accepted Answer

CBD-dominant strains and gentle indica hybrids like Papaya, Purple Kush, and Blue Dream at low doses are popular choices for anxiety relief. Avoid high-THC sativas initially, as they can increase anxiety in some people. Our budtenders at 515 Nostrand Ave can guide you toward the right products.

Question 3

Can cannabis make anxiety worse?

Accepted Answer

Yes, high doses of THC, particularly from sativa strains, can increase anxiety in some individuals. This is why starting with very low doses and choosing CBD-dominant products is so important for anxiety management. If you experience cannabis-related anxiety, try a CBD-only product or reduce your dose significantly.
