A new medical study has found a link between cannabis and the reduction of anxiety and stress. According to the study, anxiety disorders occur when there’s too much communication between the frontal cortex and amygdala.

“The circuit between the amygdala and the frontal cortex has been shown to be stronger in individuals with certain types of anxiety disorders. As people or animals are exposed to stress and get more anxious, these two brain areas glue together, and their activity grows stronger together,” says author of the study, Sachin Patel, MD, PhD.
More than 40 million Americans suffer from anxiety disorder, the #1 mental health condition in the United States. Symptoms include irritability, mood swings, insomnia, dietary changes, weight loss/gain, chronic pain, depression and feelings of worthlessness. Sufferers can be plagued by racing, negative thoughts, fatigue and headaches, among other mental and physical manifestations.
Fortunately, if you are one of these people with an overactive amygdala, there are cannabis strains that can help bring you peace. We recommend balanced hybrid strains and those high in limonene for those looking to treat mental health conditions.
Here are three strains in stock now that can reduce symptoms and feelings of anxiety:

Midnight will uplift your spirits with a strong cerebral buzz while its body effects creep up later, providing a euphoric relaxation.
