[Cbdpotential]

"... According to its preclinical and clinical studies, it indicates that CBD may act to reduce anxiety without excessive sedative side-effects. Researchers hypothesize that CBD may reduce responses specifically to negative emotional and social stimuli, including pictures and emotional faces, without altering responses to positive stimuli. They will measure subjective and subtle physical responses to positive and negative stimuli using measures that have been characterized with classic anxiety-reducing drugs and drugs of abuse. Further, researchers will examine whether CBD-induced changes in these measures of emotional response relate to changes in actual behavior in a controlled social interaction. These results will allow them to study the potential usefulness of CBD as an anxiety-reducing drug, and suggest mechanisms by which CBD may reduce anxiety."
