CBD for Anxiety: The Science Behind This Popular Trend

by Neil Mumby / 05 October 2021 / Published in CBD Explained
CBD for Anxiety

Customers around the world are purchasing CBD products in an attempt to manage nervous tension. But, what does the science show about the connection between CBD and social anxiety? Does CBD help anxiety? Can CBD Oil cause anxiety?

If you’ve been wondering about any of these questions, then this is the article for you.

Does CBD Help Anxiety?

At this stage in the game, official statements have not been made about the relationship between CBD and social anxiety. As such, it’s tough to make a conclusive statement about Cannabidiol (CBD) and its direct impact on anxiety.

What we do know is that CBD is one of the most popular natural supplements in the UK due to its impact on mental clarity and wellness. Customer reviews tout this natural compound as being one of the most effective tonics they’ve ever tried. Still, for now, we need to stick with the facts and focus on the relationship between our natural, internal cannabis system and its role in reducing anxiety.

Our internal cannabinoid network is known as the endocannabinoid system. This system is directly modified by consuming plant-cannabinoids such as CBD, THC, CBN, CBG, etc. These plant cannabinoids are all found in varieties of hemp, including marijuana. There are quite a number of cannabinoids, with over 100+ having been discovered so far.

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) has been shown to play a crucial role in reducing anxiety and fear. This is possibly due to cannabinoid receptors being stationed throughout our entire body and mind, including the nervous system. This network also leverages vital neurotransmitters, known as endocannabinoids, which trigger potent anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) actions in the body and mind.

Can CBD Oil Cause Anxiety?

Regulated CBD oil is very unlikely to cause anxiety. Suppose a formula contains an authentic CBD isolate or Broad Spectrum CBD extract. In that case, all of the included ingredients should promote wellness and ease. However, when purchasing Full-Spectrum CBD, the risk of anxiety can become a real issue.

Full Spectrum CBD can contain trace amounts of THC. However, according to the World Health Organization, these extracts should have under 0.2% THC if they are available for sale without restriction. In a perfect world, that would mean that all Full Spectrum CBD products contain negligible quantities of THC. Still, the reality is that there are untested products available on the market that have a considerably larger amount of this intoxicating compound.

THC, the primary psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, can cause physical sedation. But, it often stirs up anxiety at the same time. Some sensitive individuals will respond to even trace amounts of THC. However, most customers experiencing anxiety when taking CBD have likely purchased a batch that contains more THC than is allowed for legal purchase in the UK.

Simply purchase CBD products that have removed the THC, such as our CBD isolates and Broad Spectrum CBD formulas, to avoid this issue. All of these items have been lab-tested and are proven to contain 0% THC. This means that you can enjoy our products with total peace of mind. They will never cause false positives on drug tests and only deliver relaxing and rejuvenating organic compounds.

Is There a Reliable CBD for Anxiety Dosage?

At this time, no dosage can be recommended if you attempt to use CBD for emotional tension. Although this organic compound has received recognition as a novel food ingredient in the UK, it has not been cleared for anxiety treatment. 

However, we do have a recommendation from the FSA (Food Standards Agency) for healthy adults to keep their CBD consumption to a maximum of 70mg per day. Individual responses to CBD vary tremendously, so if you’re a first-timer, feel free to begin with as little as 5 mg of CBD every six to eight hours. Spreading your doses throughout your day is an excellent way to extend the revitalizing and calming qualities of cannabidiol.

Additionally, suppose you can stick to this regimen for a week. In that case, you will begin to see an added depth to your experience. Many natural supplements will take time to reach full effect, and CBD is no different. There’s no rush. Just enjoy your natural cannabinoid supplementation over time, and your endocannabinoid system will become toned and more efficient, allowing it to gradually bring a sense of ease to your daily life.

What’s the Best Type of CBD for Relaxation?

Well, this question is definitely up for debate. Remember that everyone responds differently to CBD, including various types of extracts and products. As mentioned above, CBD isolates or Broad Spectrum extracts are the best routes to avoid any complications. But can you use CBD gummies for anxiety? Should you reach for CBD oils or vapes to mellow out instead?

If you’re just looking for an overall wellness tonic, then any of these options will do the trick. All of them will enter the bloodstream, allowing CBD and your internally produced endocannabinoids to reach receptors found on the cells in your nervous system. As these cannabinoids settle into your nerves, your nerves may just begin to settle. 

The ideal way to discover the best type of CBD for you is to simply shop around. Try a few different products, ensuring that you are enjoying CBD daily. In due time you will identify the products that suit your needs.
