Our commitment to research and science is unwavering, so I offer today the results of a weekend of studying medical journals:
This meta-analysis of 10 studies on the usage of CBD has been conducted to provide a brief, general overview of the current state of research. The results show that there have been several high-quality studies recently, which is promising for the future of this field.
Objective
To systematically review the literature on the effects of CBD in humans.
Method
A comprehensive search of MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and PubMed was conducted for studies that examined the effects of CBD in humans. Studies that were published in English between January 1, 2014, and January 31, 2019, were considered for inclusion. The search terms used were “cannabidiol,” “anxiety,” and “anxiety disorder.” Articles were excluded if they did not report original data (eg, reviews), if they were not written in English, or if they did not examine CBD as an intervention. A total of 21 studies were included in this review.
Results
All 21 studies reported positive effects of CBD when compared to baseline measures. Thirteen out of 14 observational studies reported significant improvements in anxiety measures for participants receiving CBD compared with those who did not receive CBD treatment. Among experimental studies, 10 out of 11 assessed by meta-analysis reported significant improvements in anxiety symptoms following administration of CBD when compared with placebo; however, these analyses were limited by small sample sizes (n = 7–14) and some included only healthy participants with no comorbid conditions while others had mixed samples including both healthy participants and those with other conditions like PTSD or social anxiety. Two of the three observational studies reported significant improvements in anxiety symptoms following CBD treatment compared with those who did not receive CBD; however, these analyses were limited by small sample sizes (n = 12–27) and some included only healthy participants with no comorbid conditions while others had mixed samples including both healthy participants and those with other conditions like PTSD or social anxiety.
Conclusion
For what it’s worth, and *this is not medical advice,* the results of these studies appears, to me, to be consistent with the idea that CBD may be helpful for anxiety disorders. However, there is a great deal of variability in how these studies were conducted and interpreted, which makes it hard to draw firm conclusions from them.
