How CBD Products Help with Stress and Anxiety

In today’s fast-paced world, life can get pretty busy. Taking care of the kids, work, household chores all can take a toll on your life. But, stress is a part of life, and we have to learn how to manage it. Unmanaged stress can lead to bouts of anxiety that can be debilitating. 

The good news is that CBD products can help with stress and anxiety. And, people are taking notice. This year alone, there’s been $1.6 million in CBD sales. That number doubled from 2019’s $845 million in CBD sales.

This tremendous increase results from the legalization and widespread acceptance of marijuana-derived products, such as CBD or cannabidiol. Federally legalized in 2018 with the Farm Act, CBD is now widely accepted throughout the United States. 

In a 2020 study using Pinterest, a social media platform, on public acceptance of CBD, researchers found that 91.6 percent of pins regarded CBD positively. The pins reflected acceptance and use of CBD among those who frequent Pinterest. 

CBD is touted as nature’s miracle medicine that may treat both mental and physical conditions. Among those health conditions are stress and anxiety. 

A 2020 review highlighting pre-clinical research using animal models exhibiting fear and anxiety-like behaviors indicates that CBD has anxiolytic, antistress, anti-compulsive effects. That same review also highlights research on humans that suggests that CBD might have anxiolytic effects.

With legalization, research, and acceptance, CBD is more than something that comes from cannabis. It’s a medicine that should be available to all who need it.
