How Cannabis Can Help With Anxiety

We’ve all experienced that familiar nervous feeling at one point or another. Whether it’s before a big presentation at work or when life hits you with those unexpected turns, anxiety seems to be a universal experience. Anxiety also looks different for everyone, and we all fall on different parts of the spectrum. 

That’s why cannabis works so well for helping with anxiety. With so many strains and potencies to choose from, cannabis allows you to finally have some control over your mental wellness. Whether you prefer vaping, eating edibles, or sharing a joint with friends, the euphoric effects of cannabis can offer you the anxiety relief you’ve been looking for.

For those who get anxious in social settings, many people find that a sativa strain can help ease some of those nervous feelings. The energizing effects from this strain can give you the boost you need to step out of your shell and show people your true, authentic, and confident self. 

Other people’s anxiety comes in the form of a restless mind. Constant worrying and overthinking every little detail can be debilitating and even take a physical toll on your body. The sedative effects of an indica strain don’t just leave you in-da-couch. They can relax both your body and mind, which can offer you an escape from those racing thoughts that are interfering with your everyday life.

At Mile High Dispensary, it’s no secret that we are cannabis superfans, but we know that the mind-altering effects aren’t for everyone. As always, we recommend starting off slowly and with small amounts so you can figure out what works best for you personally. You can also contact us for recommendations or more guidance on how you can take control of your anxiety with cannabis.
