Does Cannabis Make You Paranoid? Here Are 5 Stains That Won’t…

Imagine a scene… You take a drag from a joint, a pull off a vape, or a hit from a bong. The effects quickly settle over you, enveloping your body and mind in a wash of sensation.

And then, just as quickly… Your heart starts racing. Your mind explodes. And instantly, you’re convinced the entire world is careening off a giant cliff.

Sound familiar?

If it does, you may be one of those folks who’s sworn off cannabis because… “It makes me TOO paranoid!”

Of course, you’re not the only one who holds these sentiments. THC is one of the active ingredients in cannabis (it’s the primary intoxicant, responsible for “getting you high”). And THC has been widely reported to cause anywhere from mild anxiety to extreme panic attacks by many cannabis users.

These feelings of anxiety and panic are due in part to the level of THC in a particular strain. Some strains are naturally higher in THC. And those with greater sensitivity to THC’s effects are more likely to experience feelings of paranoia.

Fortunately, there is an alternative. While most THC-heavy stains are more apt to ignite your anxiety, there are also CBD laden strains that carry no such paranoid-inducing side effects.

So, if you’re looking for a “worry-free” experience, here 5 stains that will ensure you avoid a panic-provoked breakdown…

Blue Dream CBD

Scientifically crafted with a 1:1 ratio of CBD to THC that yields a 10% concertation, Blue Dream CBD is an ideal daytime cannabis strain. It offers all the benefits associated with the classic Blue Dream strain – subtle, relaxing effects – minus any side effects that generate feelings of anxiety or paranoia.

Harlequin

With a ratio of 8-16% CBD to 4-7% THC, Harlequin is a 75% Sativa-dominate hybrid. Its effects are understated, generating a very relaxing light buzz, with zero feelings of panic or anxiety.

Sour Tsunami

Featuring a roughly even ratio of 10% CBD to 10% TCH, Sour Tsunami strikes a solid balance between the two active ingredients. The effects are mellow and relaxing. Great for easing stress, depression, and physical pain, while generating none of the anxiety-inducing side effects commonly associated with THC.

Cannatonic

Averaging nearly twice as much CBD (12%) as THC (7%), Cannatonic is a perfectly balanced hybrid, with 50% Indica and 50% Sativa. This strain is commonly prescribed for medicinal use to ease discomfort associated with various physical ailments and chronic diseases. And is also noted for being free of any side effects associated with paranoia or anxiety.

Ringo’s Gift

Named after famed cannabis activist, Lawrence Ringo, Ringo’s gift is a cross between Harle-Tsu (itself a cross between Harlequin and Sour Tsunami) and ACDC (and offshoot of Cannatonic). This CBD-heavy strain boasts an average ratio of 24:1 CBD to THC. Celebrated for its “full-body” relaxation, this calming strain produces no paranoia or anxiety-related side effects.
