I have Anxiety: Do I Have to Live This Way?

As CBD gains in popularity many people are turning to it for a variety of reasons. Today, we are looking at anxiety

and CBD. in recent years, even pre pandemic times people dealing with stress and anxiety have been on the rise. According to numerous studies published by the NIH (National Institute of Health) up to 33% of the country suffers an anxiety disorder at some point in their lifetime. There is substantial underrecognized and unreported cases in the US. In short, we are a country under stress. When the promise of a product that can help with anxiety, without long lists of side effects comes along people become interested. It makes perfect sense that CBD has become so popular these days. JPotter Health has seen first hand the great effects CBD has had for many people. But like you we care about the science behind what we see. So we were excited to come across a recent publication in the Journal of the American Pharmacists Association, titled Use of cannabidiol in anxiety and anxiety-related disorders. This study’s purpose is to “evaluate the current evidence on the safety and efficacy of CBD in anxiety” (Abstract). Their finding are matching our own experiences with CBD products.

“CBD, consistently demonstrated improved clinical

outcome in anxiety disorders, with a minimal

adverse effect profile. However, optimal dose, route

of administration, and dosing strategy (acute vs

chronic use) of CBD in the management of anxiety

disorders remain undetermined” (254).

It is articles like these that help highlight the need for coaching. At JPotter Health we take CBD seriously, we would never recommend a product that has not been fully vetted and deemed safe. Studies of CBD consistently show the need for informed, educated help.
