Cannabis containing equivalent concentrations of delta‐9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) induces less state anxiety than THC‐dominant cannabis
Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), an active component of cannabis, can cause anxiety in some users during intoxication. Cannabidiol (CBD), another constituent of cannabis, has anxiolytic properties suggesting that cannabis products containing CBD in addition to THC may produce less anxiety than THC-only products. Findings to date around this issue have been inconclusive and could conceivably depend on moderating factors such as baseline anxiety levels in users.
