Cannabis and Stress

- Cannabis is rapidly becoming one of the most consumed drugs in Canada. Many report using the drug as a coping mechanism for stress and anxiety. How exactly do our stress responses change in the presence of cannabis? Does cannabis actually relieve stress? This video considers the stress relieving effects of cannabis as it interacts with our body’s stress reaction system: the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis (HPA-axis). Followed by the potential of cannabis for treating chronic and acute stress related disorders. As research continues on the full uses of cannabis, this video serves as an overview of the research published thus far. If you are using cannabis to cope with stress, please do so safely by monitoring your usage, and reaching out to a registered healthcare professional for more guidance on coping with stress.
This video was made by McMaster students Armaan Sekhon, Kriti Manuja, Krishna Patel & Sharleen Maduranayagam in collaboration with the McMaster Demystifying Medicine Program.

I started smoking since my teenage, got addicted to cigarettes. Spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Greece. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
Hey! Yes Dr.alishrooms
I'm really happy for you that your friend decided to help you...I hear about alot of family members or so called friends shutting an addict out of their life, which since most addicts do it to mask emotions to me is the worse thing someone can do to an addict.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Started to smoke amnesia haze 2 weeks ago my life has changed for the better, all of the things that bothered me, they don't as much anymore, I do not smoke much, very little in fact, and I still reap the benefits from consuming THC. I love it honestly, it encourages me to change my life to a healthier and more prouductive being. My rule of thumb is: As long as you use it for a purpose and not just numb yourself for the sake of it, you are on the safe side of things. I also want to say, that I have been dealing with severe anxiety and vast amounts of stress for the past 5 years, it was hell, but this stuff? It shows me that the world can be okay again, it shows me how much better my life can be without all that anxiety bs. For all those who suffer from this too, please try it out I promise it will open your mind.
Hey, i also have high stress level so I wanted to ask, does your stress/anxiety come back once ur sober again or did the cannabis heal u sort of? Will u have to be high every day to not have anxiety/stress?
@@justhere7127 It def comes back when ur sober
Are you having panic attacks?
@@justhere7127 don’t have too much Thc everyday, you only need to consume a little bit per day like 0.5g or even lower
I'm very happy for you that cannabis can help you with your issues.
Just remember, substances and medications don't replace self knowledge. There's a reason why you were anxious in the first place, most likely negative experiences in childhood or in relationships later on.
The best way to cure anxiety disorders is by adressing it's underlying causes. That's best done with a trauma therapist or psycho therapist
Like all things. Everything in moderation. Some people have a glass of wine with their meal daily (mediteranean meals high in olive oil are best) and live for years with no issues. Same goes for weed. Both alcohol and weed are open to abuse. But it's easier to come off weed than alcoholism.
But harder to get a one glass of wine small buzz effect with weed.
You have a point! Can I also have the chronic stress in moderation? Instead of being financially raped? Cannabis consumption will adjust to the need, the more people are suffering (Unable to pay bills, rent, food, go to the doctor, have cancer and not afford treatment) then every opportunity to blaze will be taken. I live on Crete btw, and Alcohol is a fucking scourge. The amount of people with liver damage and people wiped out by drunk driving if ridiculous and that you would even put Cannabis and Alcohol in the same sentence like that....
@@jblazer2492 they need to create more very low THC mixtures for people to get just a light comfy buzz. Getting stoned isn’t a great feeling to a lot of people and turns them off weed. But I believe there is a ratio of 5 to 1 CBD to THC, so around 25mg CBD to 5mg THC that could be a sweet spot where people still feel like they have a functioning brain and feel a buzz. Would like to see products like this come out more.
The good thing about wine is not the alcohol is the vitamins grapes gives you
@@larrytate1657 That does sound awesome, I would like for there to be a wide selection of properly regulated cannabis strains that provide a consistent experience! And that's why it needs to be completely legal for recreational use. But remember, you can also have less if your cannabis it's ridiculously strong, or even do a blend of CBD heavy cannabis to try achieve a less manic feel!
Some of this is true but it's just funny how health professionals will say all this and then give a mofo some Xanax, literally one of the most detrimental life altering drugs for the same stress and anxiety
Smoking weed stopped working for me last year, it's giving me more anxiety now. I'm moving from THC to CBD to see if theres a diff. WISH ME LUCK YALL lol
Cannabis is absolutely fantastic
Works great for me
Sameee Just need Water and Weed and I’m Chillin 😎
Amazing information. Thanks for the video
Nice to see how far we have come!
Loved it
This video is so good! Thanks for the effort!
Great video! I love the editing and how you explain the facts.
conteúdo muito bom!
I’ve been smoking since 15-16 in Highschool I’m 23 now and still smoke 💨
Same
Appreciate the video
We need cannabis balanced in CBD and THC. Even the medical dispensaries only carry like 15-20% THCA and 0.05% CBD weed which is just a recipe for addiction and issues
I do love your video because criminalized cannabis does create problems for isolated consumers. People are experiencing difficulty in managing their experiences with Cannabis because their experiences may involve more difficult thoughts than others. Especially in terms of religious family disagreements or abandonments, but also regular everyday existence thoughts that can overtake peoples minds if their thought processing might be less controllable when it comes to managing specific ongoing stressors.
Pain is relevant to everyone. Mental pains can be difficult, but there are people out there who are in significant pain and cannabis becomes a VERY DIFFERENT tool at that point. Cannabis is for everyone and most people aren’t consuming nearly enough. Most people don’t even realize they are DEFINITE candidates for experiencing incredible benefits to the body from cannabis compounds. Chronic pains are extremely common and without Cannabis, people will seek other consumptions that often become far less “beneficial” or even dangerous to someone’s health and well-being.
if your stressed you putting that energy on the bud then smoke it thinking I should quit smoking man
Il est vrai que le remède de mère nature a de multiples bienfaits . J'avais laissé la consommation il y a près de 40 ans pour des raisons personnel et voilà ....,à l'automne de ma vie je retourne à mes sources .La vie maintenant n'a plus ce gout de miel qui a fait ma jeunesse et le stress de la vie maintenant a donné une ombre à ma vie .Alors à 72 ans je le conçois mère nature a de grands avantages.Merci pour la vidéo
The only thing that works for me!
Full spectrum CBD might be a life saving medicine
what ive learned smoke less thc smoke more cbd or just cut off thc or just micro dose it mixing up with cbd or get rid of smoking
Great video. Very good explained...yep..i agree with Patrick...
Also, you explain everything in a logical way! Keep going!!
"problematic cannabis use" oh the terror!
nice vid
Please raise your voice in comparison to the music and speak a little more slowly. Besides that, it feels pretty good.
Every good thing needs to be used/consumed in moderation. Marijuana has many medicinal benefits, but medicine, when abused, can lead to negative consequences like an addiction.
There was a *_MURDER IN MY LOW INCOME COMPLEX on February 10th 2022._*
*_So, just.. Focus on the toxic optimism?_*
Like all things, it is whatever you make it.
Someone suffering from chronic stress and anxiety finds a solution but since stress and anxiety are treated and not cured these idiots blame the marijuana after. I wish we had honest scientists.
My guy they are being honest, you can view all the studies they referenced. It doesn't just hurt yourself when you reject truth out of fear or dislike of the facts
@@ferretappreciator not a rejection of facts but a higher knowledge of them. I always say when people quit they remember why they started.
@@mikepotter4141 have you ever heard the term "positive feedback loop" ?
Cannabis is a useful tool for combatting short term stress/anxiety but in the long run ultimately creates more extreme stress/anxiety. They're not saying it isn't helpful but that it's not a solution to anxiety. It kind of reminds me of benzodiazapines but less rude.
However there ARE long term solutions for anxiety. Your mental health isn't something you are cursed with, it's just like your physical health. Even physically weak individuals can enhance their stamina. You can get better.
I personally adore everything about cannabis, and would never want to live without it. It has done wonders for my frequent anxiety attacks and intense depressive/suicidal episodes. It has given me motivation when I didn't have the will to leave my bed. I am literally blazed out of my mind right now. This isn't a personal attack on you, cannabis, or anything, it's just simply the truth. I can't force you to believe in science or anything so I won't even try, I just hope you can become happy.
Peace out
It did give me a panic attack
@@jackg3535 me too. Smoked everyday at night for a number of years. Gave me the worst panic attacks. Quit picked it up again years later. Another panic attack. Wake up in your sleep ones. Never again.
I ain't smoking no more, but I ain't smoking no less...
You get high and that feels good which makes the stress go away its as simple as that
Why such a fast computer like robot like narrative and the music undesirable as well
I'm used to smoke 18%thc cannabis. I recently bought 28%, which eventually led me to this video. I will not smoke the rest of it.
I gave it to a friend. Maybe he'll enjoy it as much as I am today
*_18%?!_*
I have *_80%_* shatter!
Why not just smoke... Hemp?
😂😂😂
I used to smoke Mk Ultra 3.5g and that was enough.
*_1/4 a week?!_*
*_"OKAY!!" - Lil Jon_*
@5:00 let's be honest, it would RUIN their profit model if everyone could grow medicine in their backyards.
It doesn’t work for many anyway though. 50 percent or so get anxiety from it.
@@larrytate1657 then they're using the wrong strain.
@@larrytate1657 study?
Cannabis is stress release, the anxiety you carry and a lift you weigh. Thats why panic kicks in, but if you stay high, it feels okay.
It doesnt fix as much as good habits do. Physical workout does some benefits, just dont overwork urself because you feel like you can lift the world. Makes you feel good because youve been doing good. If it makes you feel bad, better quit weed and do what you have to do with yourself.
Good video, but the music is too loud, in my opinion. I find it hard to focus on what the narrator is saying.
Weed gave me a panic attack 3 weeks ago been smoking pretty much every day for 2-3 years I’m scared to touch it ever again now 😓
Been smoking 8 years without a break and that happened to me now after I quit drinking
I was a daily user for the last several years. Last summer I had a panic attack after consuming a 5mg gummy. I continued to consume it up until this past March where my anxiety reached an unbearable level. I quit for a while and went back to it when I was feeling better. I went through a cycle where my usage would lead to anxiety and depression. Last Monday 8/8 I decided that was it. I’m done using it for good.
I’ll also add I was consuming medical grade concentrates through a pen, flower and black market carts. Weed really messed with my mental state after years of enjoyment.
How u feeling now because I experienced same thing now I’m scared to smoke lol
@@cypriotspy3473 yeah I think you should quit weed has ended up giving me an anxiety disorder that manifests physical symptoms every few weeks it’s related to health anxiety I’m constantly worried about my health
Indica strands are better for anxiety and sleep
Anyone do a real study?
All i hear is we still really dont know
The Scientist Medical Marijuana: Studying For a Higher Purpose Prof. Dr. Raphael Mechoulam
I love how they talk about addiction. I know people who've smoked everday for 50 years n had no problem with not smoking. Or any kind of thing. So I don't get this crap
Except that they smoked for 50 years. That's clearly not a sign of stopping. haha
@@michaellewis9810
exactly, but do you know anyone that has been alcoholic for 50 years?
That’s hilarious. He’s not addicted, he just smoked for 50 fucking years!!! Lol!
You can become addicted to something even if it’s healthy. You can literally become addicted to anything
@@ristuksenvittu who said alcohols not addicting?
What does problematic cannibis use even mean , there's no such thing
Yeah there is...thc doesn't mix well people. It produces paranoia and anxiety and inappropriate behaviors. But people will continue to use it because there is that numbing effect. These types of smokers will often drift into their own worlds which is very unhealthy. I don't think it's addiction because they could easily quit but they're looking for something so won't quit. I was one of those people. I just found full spectrum CBD though and it's like everything I ever wanted in cannabis.
@@walexander8378 Ummm you have no idea what you’re talking about, it only causes paranoia in SOME people with underlying mental issues that can make you prone to hallucinations, true drug induced paranoia would be caused by a dose of a drug called methamphetamine, that WILL make just about anyone paranoid, you’ll think aliens are at your door rather than cops. You’ll think birds are cameras, won’t trust people around you, etc…. Please inform yourself more.
@@walexander8378 full spectrum Cbd? Does it make u have energy after using or what
@@walexander8378 well you could find a lower strain thc and higher cbd(ac/dc) strain.
But as you said hemp does mainly cultivate at higher cbd than thc
@@walexander8378 I wish weed did all that
Idk what y’all smokin but you can’t get “addicted” to cannabis. It’s just habit forming. Do your research
If you over smoke sometimes it’s hard to eat/sleep/study without it your body basically craves it. Not in moderation tho
It's addictive.
Cannabis is great..
Bye
Now " end of the video.. 😂 speak with health professionals...let's brake it down.
Health professional is the person who been reached to use method of treating what system tell them to use.... System ruining your health big time 👍 wake up ❤️
