Medical Applications
Cannabis, specifically its components like CBD and THC, has been shown to help with depression by interacting with the endocannabinoid system in our bodies. This system is responsible for regulating various functions, including mood.
The cannabinoids in cannabis can help stabilize mood and ease depression by boosting the endocannabinoid system. Some research suggests that cannabis can increase serotonin levels, a neurotransmitter that plays a significant role in mood regulation.
CBD (cannabidiol) has been shown to help with anxiety and panic disorders by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system.
This system is involved in regulating a variety of functions, including sleep, appetite, pain, and immune system response. CBD may help to reduce stress and anxiety by enhancing endocannabinoid signaling, which can help to regulate mood and fear.
It can also interact with serotonin receptors in the brain, which play a key role in anxiety disorders. Some studies have shown that CBD can reduce symptoms in people with various anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder.
