"Groundbreaking Experiment Confirms CBD as Superior Anxiety Treatment Over THC"

TL;DR Summary
A first-of-its-kind study from the University of Colorado Boulder confirms that cannabis strains with high levels of cannabidiol (CBD) and negligible tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are more effective at easing anxiety. The research involved 300 participants with anxiety, and the results suggest that CBD-dominant cannabis products may provide meaningful relief from anxiety without the same risks or harms associated with THC or prescription medications. The study also found that THC-dominant strains increased the risk of developing paranoia in the short-term, but did not prevent the drug's anti-anxiety effects from working.
