Where do most Americans find commonality amongst each other you ask? Anxiety; the ever plaguing,
and elusive invisible monster taunting us at every turn. Between 24-hour work regimens, unrealistic
deadlines, and our need for speed; how can these compounding stressors not trigger our anxiety? In
short: our non-stop, ever busy lives create the perfect breeding ground for anxiety’s increasing death
grip. While some are able to combat and suppress their anxiety independently, many others are on a
constant hunt for help. So how do we go about loosening the grips without impacting our day-to-day
routines? Does anxiety keeping me awake? This is one of the most unresolved quests.
Countless amounts of money have been poured out of the hands of millions of Americans and into those of modern-day pioneers. These pioneers come with promises of stress alleviation ranging from dietary restrictions, mental and physical stimulation, and medicinal concoctions. The desperation for a solution is ever-growing. With the race for the perfect suppressant mounting, a new leader emerges: CBD.
As stated in a previous blog, CBD (cannabidiol) is a cannabinoid and chemical compound found in the
cannabis plant. It has been used to assist many ailments, including anxiety.
In a simulation public speaking test aimed to monitor anxiety, 24 volunteers participated in a double
blind study where half of the participants were given a placebo while the remaining half were given 600mgs of CBD. The levels of those given CBD revealed a significant reduction in anxiety, cognitive
impairment, and discomfort during their speech, which showed to be higher in the group given only a
placebo. This study directly correlates with everyday life, as most individuals can relate to being in an
uncomfortable yet necessary situation.
The most common uses for hemp to alleviate anxiety range from smokeable hemp, sublingual tinctures, and edible products. Many struggling with anxiety tend to favor smoking the flower due to the almost instant gratification it provides. The quick release of cannabinoids in the system makes way for expedient relief. In a world where expediency is king, this serves as the perfect option for high anxiety situations. However, not every situation caters to an opportunity to light up a pre-roll of hemp. Others prefer the inconspicuousness of tinctures and edibles. Tinctures; or CBD oil, as it is often referred to, follows the route from capillaries, directly to the blood stream. This offers a swift relief for those in need. Edibles – need I say more? Although Infused edibles take longer to take effect due to the longer route from digestive tract to blood stream, the delayed break down also means a slower release of cannabinoids in your system, leading to longer effectiveness.
The Hemp Source offers all of these amazing options without the stress of blindly buying from an
untrustworthy source. For quick release, try one of the Hemp Source’s tinctures ranging from 150mg-
4000mg in strength. For a slower release with added longevity try one of The Hemp Source’s 85mg
edibles.
As the anxiety brought on by the stress of the day begins to mount, rest assured and choose a product
that studies have proven take the edge off. Anxiety and stress have been known to be a silent yet
notorious killer, so allow yourself the opportunity to live worry free, with CBD.
