Masha Burelo - Cannabinoids and Anxiety

Masha Burelo - Cannabinoids and Anxiety

Masha Burelo narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

Masha Burelo, PhD Student from University of Aberdeen is back with her second blog in the 'from the plant to the lab series'. Masha is now focussed on dementia research, but her pervious work on cannabinoids, is shared through this series and today she writes about their use in the treatment of anxiety. Cannabis has been used for many years as an alternative therapy for anxiety, but some research has provided evidence of its anxiogenic effect. Anxiogenesis means that it can cause anxiety as well. Therefore, are cannabinoids good for treating anxiety? This blog explores the research.
