The subjects were divided into groups, each assigned to use one of three cannabis flower products over a four-week period:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>THC-dominant<\/strong>: 24% THC and 1% CBD\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>CBD-dominant<\/strong>: 1% THC and 24% CBD\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Balanced<\/strong>: 12% THC and 12% CBD\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants consumed their assigned products approximately three times per week, with usage monitored through a mobile laboratory that assessed anxiety levels before and after consumption.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Findings<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All groups reported a decrease in anxiety symptoms by the end of the study. Notably, those using CBD-dominant products experienced the most significant reductions. These participants reported immediate tension relief without feelings of impairment and were less likely to experience paranoia compared to those using THC-dominant or balanced products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senior author Cinnamon Bidwell, an associate professor at CU Boulder, noted, &#8220;CBD was associated with tension and anxiety relief with limited harm.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Implications<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This study suggests that CBD-dominant cannabis products may offer a viable alternative for anxiety relief, minimizing the risks linked to THC. Given that approximately 20% of U.S. adults suffer from anxiety disorders, these findings could inform future therapeutic approaches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the results are promising, the study allowed participants to use the products as they chose, individual consumption levels varied, which could influence outcomes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the research so far, CBD-dominant cannabis products appear to alleviate anxiety effectively without the side effects associated with THC, offering a potential alternative for those seeking anxiety relief.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the study here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colorado.edu\/today\/2024\/02\/27\/cbd-shown-ease-anxiety-without-risks-can-come-thc#:~:text=Cannabis%20products%20high%20in%20the,new%20CU%20Boulder%20research%20suggests\">https:\/\/www.colorado.edu\/today\/2024\/02\/27\/cbd-shown-ease-anxiety-without-risks-can-come-thc#:~:text=Cannabis%20products%20high%20in%20the,new%20CU%20Boulder%20research%20suggests <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent study from the University of Colorado Boulder provides compelling evidence that cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating compound found in cannabis, can effectively reduce anxiety without the adverse effects commonly associated with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of cannabis.&nbsp;&nbsp; What Happened During the Study?&nbsp;&nbsp; This pioneering randomized trial involved 300 participants diagnosed with anxiety disorders.&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cbd-studies"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gorilla.organic\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gorilla.organic\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gorilla.organic\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gorilla.organic\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gorilla.organic\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=546"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gorilla.organic\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":549,"href":"https:\/\/gorilla.organic\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546\/revisions\/549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gorilla.organic\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gorilla.organic\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gorilla.organic\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
