CB1 receptors are responsible for mediating the anti-anxiety effects of cannabinoids, like THC. In low doses, cannabinoids reduce anxiety; however, high doses of cannabinoids act to increase anxiety <ref name="toxic" />. This is one reason why synthetic cannabinoids like K2, an extremely potent synthetic cannabinoid, produce the harmful side effect of extreme anxiety. | CB1 receptors are responsible for mediating the anti-anxiety effects of cannabinoids, like THC.
