Why cannabis can affect anxiety at all

Your body has an internal balancing network called the endocannabinoid system (ECS), involved in mood, stress response, sleep, and more. Cannabinoids like THC and CBD interact with this system (directly or indirectly), which is why cannabis can shift how you experience stress—sometimes toward calm, sometimes the opposite.

The “sometimes the opposite” part matters: the CDC notes cannabis can cause unpleasant thoughts or feelings of anxiety and paranoia for some people.

The golden rule: start low and go slow

Green Dragon FL’s own dosing guidance keeps it simple: “start low and slow.”

And if you’re aiming for a gentle, functional experience (not a “cancel my plans” one), microdosing principles apply nicely to tinctures. Green Dragon’s education content commonly describes microdosing as very small THC amounts—often around 1–5 mg per dose.

Dry-ish January isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being intentional. Maybe you’re cutting back on alcohol, skipping it on weeknights, or just trying to wake up in January feeling like yourself instead of a dehydrated raccoon. If you’re a Florida medical marijuana patient, low-dose cannabis can fit that same “less, but better” mindset—especially when you choose formats that make moderation easy.

What a COA is (and why it matters in cannabis Florida)

A COA is a third-party lab report tied to a specific batch (also called lot) of a product. It typically covers two big things:

1. Potency (cannabinoids like THC/CBD, sometimes terpenes)

2. Safety (screens for contaminants like pesticides, heavy metals, microbials, residual solvents, etc.)

In Florida’s medical program, testing labs are certified through the state’s Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU), and OMMU publishes a list of certified marijuana testing laboratories (CMTLs).

Brownie Mary (Mary Jane Rathbun) was a medical cannabis rights campaigner who became known for providing homemade cannabis brownies to AIDS patients in San Francisco. At a time when fear, misinformation, and discrimination shaped public policy, she focused on one thing: helping people feel better.
