How do you know it's the THC that increases anxiety and not one of the any other 400+ chemicals that are in cannabis. More research needs to be done.

People snuffed tobacco for years under the idea that it relaxed a person. Then we discovered it was causing nose cancer, mouth cancer, throat cancer, etc. (im not saying weed causes cancer)

Just be careful GMO is real and you shouldn't play blind chemist with your body. The negative effects could kick in years down the line.
a lot of CBD that's sold comes from cross breeding hemp (males and hermaphrodites) to further push down the thc content.

While some companies label their products non-gmo you don't know the heritage of where it came from. Very similar to spice for anyone who's familiar.
