Anxiety

What It Is

Anxiety is not just “worry”. It is a background of inner tension that can be faint and smoldering or sharp and constricting.

It interferes with rest, sleep, focus, communication, appetite, and the ability to stay present. Often it lives in the body as tightness, hollowness in the stomach, chest pressure, or shallow breath.

How It Feels

Before:

• looping background thoughts

• tense body, shallow breathing

• a sense that “something is wrong” without a clear reason

• constant low-level anticipation of threat

After:

• breathing becomes deeper

• shoulders, jaw, and solar plexus soften

• thoughts keep moving but lose their grip

• a quiet sense of “I am back in my body, and it is safe”

Related Terpenes

• Linalool — nervous system calming, sleep support

• Caryophyllene — stabilization and protective grounding

• Bisabolol — neuroinflammatory softening, relaxation

• Myrcene (low background presence) — grounding, letting go

• CBD — softens neural reactivity

• THC — can intensify anxiety if internal or external context is unstable

Related OG Lab Profiles

• AC/DC — baseline stabilization

• Blueberry Bang Bang — body-based calm without numbness

• Banana Hammock RBX1 — anxiety with deep somatic background

When It Does Not Work

• When internal exhaustion remains unaddressed

• When the sensory environment is chaotic or unsafe

• When the nervous system is already overstimulated

In these cases, grounding and rest are often more important than modulation.

Summary

Anxiety is not an enemy. It is sensitivity that has lost balance.

Cannabis does not silence it. It can help the body remember that it is allowed to feel safe.

Do not fight anxiety. Let it feel that nothing is chasing it anymore.
