ANXIETY.

Anxiety or GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) is a mood disorder that is in the same class as PTSD. GAD is characterized by excessive worry and anxiety; symptoms include feelings of restlessness, easily fatigued, difficulty concentrating, irritability and sleep pattern disruptions which similarly occur in both conditions. In addition, GAD and PTSD often co-occur. Reference: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual V of Mental disorders.

Summary:
Cannabidiols reduce anxiety in patients with generalized social anxiety disorder and improves sleep or rest. Data suggests it may dampen the intensity or emotional impact of traumatic memories and less involved flashback memories in people with post-traumatic stress disorder.

LOW BACK PAIN.

Clinical and preclinical data suggests that cannabinoids, derived from the Cannabis Sativa plant, may be used to control symptoms of chronic pain and spasticity. Objective measures of pain intensity are significantly reduced with inhaled cannabis compared to placebo in Multiple Sclerosis patients.
