Anxiety & Depression: How Medical Marijuana Can Help

There are neurotransmitters throughout the entire body that send signals to the brain, alerting you instantaneously of real or perceived danger. Anxiety is made up of both psychological and physical symptoms. The psychological part creates the nervousness, fear, and worry, while the physical aspect produces sweating, rapid heart palpitations, a rise in blood pressure, nausea and shortness of breath.

When anxiety disorders are left untreated or undertreated, several areas of the brain like the hippocampus (regulates emotions) and the prefrontal cortex (decision making, planning abilities) shrink causing long-term damage.

The traditional “standard of care” treatment for anxiety often falls short. When these therapies disappoint, patients need alternatives for their brain and bodily health, cognition, and long-term ability to function and experience calm.

The typical care is behavioral therapy, counseling, and anti-anxiety medications. The problem is therapy is often just not enough due to the brain’s complexities, and anti-anxiety meds are addictive and very often fail to keep working for many patients.

Medical Marijuana
Our brain and nerve cells have cannabinoid receptors, so our bodies naturally react to cannabis (medical marijuana). The structure of cannabis interacts directly with our cells. Our natural endocannabinoid system works synergistically with medical marijuana, creating a multitude of beneficial reactions in the body. The endocannabinoid cells have tiny receptors that take in chemicals and produce responses. This natural system in our bodies regulates things like mood, sleeping, immunity, pleasure, memory and much more.

Medical marijuana is made up of THC, CBD, and terpenes. The CBD is known to bind to receptors and is thought to regenerate cells and brain function, while THC helps to relax and alleviate the physical symptoms of apprehension. Terpenes are beneficial due to their nutrients and healing properties The ratios of THC and CBD can be manipulated for the patient’s benefit.
