ASMR | How cannabis affects the brain

In this video, we take a look at how cannabis affects the brain, and why it can feel calming for some people but anxiety-provoking for others, as requested by you! I’ll walk through what neuroscience and psychology research actually shows about THC, CBD, anxiety, stress, motivation, and the brain systems involved. We’ll talk about why dose, frequency, genetics, age, and mental health history all matter, and why it isn’t experienced the same way by everyone. This is a research-based ASMR explanation for relaxation, curiosity, and learning, not medical advise, judgment or scare tactics 🫶🏼 The paper mentioned: Ferland, J. M. N., & Hurd, Y. L. (2020).
