The strain is composed of 70% indica and 30% sativa.

Blue Z is known for its calming and uplifting effects, making it a favorite among those seeking relaxation and stress relief. However, beginners should proceed with caution due to its potent psychoactive properties.

Anxiety, Panic Disorders

Cannabis, specifically CBD (cannabidiol), has been shown to help with anxiety and panic disorders by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system. This system is involved in regulating a variety of functions including sleep, appetite, pain and immune system response. CBD may help to reduce stress and anxiety by enhancing the endocannabinoid signaling, which can help to regulate mood and fear. It can also interact with serotonin receptors in the brain, which play a key role in anxiety disorders. Some studies have shown that CBD can reduce symptoms in people with various anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder. However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and risks.

Chronic Pain, Muscle Pain and Other Types of Pain

Cannabis contains compounds known as cannabinoids, with the most well-known being delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These compounds interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating pain. THC has analgesic properties that can help reduce pain, while CBD can help reduce inflammation, a common cause of many types of pain. Additionally, cannabis can help improve sleep, which can in turn help manage chronic pain conditions. Some studies have shown that medical cannabis can help replace or reduce the use of opioids for pain management.

If you’re using it for medical purposes, it’s best to consult with a healthcare professional or a cannabis expert.
