Technically, Cannabis strains with CBD:THC ratios higher than 5:2 tend to create a less anxiety for its users, compared to strains with a higher THC:CDB ratio. This is believed to be due to CBD’s antagonistic effects at the cannabinoid receptors in the Human brain, compared to THC’s partial agonist impact. Additionally, CBD is 5-HT1A receptor (serotonin) agonist, which can conjointly contribute to an anxiolytic-content impact.
