My heart goes out to people who are currently struggling with anxiety, as it is not an easy path to be on and can often feel isolating. In some cases, common anxiety problems can become a disorder and lead to depressive episodes. Thankfully, more attention has been brought to the mental health crisis that people in the United States are having to face, but there is still a long way to go for how our healthcare systems and social programs can help people who are really going through it.
In fact, it is written that around 40 million adults in the United States are affected by some type of anxiety disorder. That number is astounding! If you feel that you are one of those 40 million people, at least you can know that you are not alone. There are plethora of “solutions” that are suggested to people who suffer with anxiety: medication, therapy, exercise, less responsibilities, and others, are often what people suggest for those affected with disorders. While those are helpful things at times, medications often fall flat when it comes to really treating symptoms and can have some pretty nasty side effects. Medical marijuana has gained more traction in America as an effective means to treat and manage anxiety. Extensive research has been done that actually shows promising results of using cannabis to treat anxiety disorders.
Marijuana is a very effective treatment for a variety of issues, ranging from physical pain, chronic illnesses, and mental health disorders. Now that marijuana has become more acceptable as a treatment option in over half of the United States, it is much more common for people to use cannabis to treat a variety of problems in their life. That’s the great thing about medical marijuana - it can be used for so many different issues, ailments, and pains. Also, if you are thinking about trying medical marijuana for yourself, it’s important to note that cannabis comes in lots of different forms.
Many people associate marijuana with smoking a bong or something like that. There are actually a lot of different ways to consume marijuana, and each one is unique in its own way. Inhalation, like smoking marijuana through a vape, dab pen, bong, or wrap is the method that will give you the quickest results. However, it is also the quickest to wear off. Other methods include edibles that come in a huge variety of treats and snacks! Gummies, cookies, pills, and capsules as well. So don’t feel like you have to be stuck in one method of cannabis consumption to get results. A dispensary near you will likely have all the variety that you’ll ever need.
Another important part of medical marijuana is figuring out what works best for you. Similar to how prescription medications effective each person a little differently, medical marijuana does not work the same for every person. After all, it is a drug. Your doctor or medical professional can guide you on what method would work best for you to consume medical marijuana, and it is also helpful to start on a lower dose when just starting out.
Similar to how one takes smaller amounts of a prescription drug and then works their way up to a higher dosage over the course of a few weeks or months. It is also important to keep in mind that there are lots of different cannabis strains that work better for treating anxiety than others. In fact, some strains may make your anxiety worse. That is why it is important to talk to professionals and do your research before diving in.
