HHC For Anxiety
We stated that HHC and delta 9 THC are remarkably comparable and share numerous properties. Due to its inherent anxiolytic properties and naturally sedative high, we are aware that delta 9 THC is helpful for managing anxiety for many people. Because HHC binds to the same CB1 cannabinoid receptors in the nervous system as delta 9, we can anticipate that it will have some sort of calming effect on people who struggle with high functioning anxiety.
HHC has been reported to diminish amygdalar activation. The amygdala is responsible for triggering fight-or-flight response in the human body. This indicates that HHC can also help reduce sensations of panic or anxiety. (Ballard ME, 2012)
