Exploring THC's Impact on Anxiety and Relaxation Choices
THC can induce both euphoria and paranoia, complicating its use for anxiety relief. Literature suggests that high levels of cannabis consumption among youth correlate with increased anxiety, yet the causality remains uncertain—whether cannabis use exacerbates anxiety or if anxious individuals are more inclined to use cannabis as self-medication. A case study highlights a young person's increasing cannabis use leading to worsening anxiety, which resolved after cessation. Caution is advised particularly for developing brains, as usage patterns may differ between genders. It's essential to explore the underlying reasons for using substances to relax and consider alternative relaxation methods. While some advocate for the lower toxicity of cannabis compared to alcohol, the focus must be on dosage and individual motivations for substance use, emphasizing that both relaxation needs and health implications require careful examination.
