Study: Marijuana Helps with Social and Aggressive Behavior

Aggression Marijuana

A study recently published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information has shown what most know from experience: that marijuana can significantly alleviate aggressive behavior and calms emotions.

The study was only conducted on test mice. But, nonetheless, the study shows the potential for scientific evidence for marijuana as an aggression management tool for humans. This study will likely lead to a research study on humans. And eventually states with medical marijuana programs might include anger as a qualifying condition for a medical marijuana card.

The ultimate objective of the study was “to examine the role of cannabinoid[s] … in social and aggressive behavior.” One of the researchers noted that: “Acute administration of the [cannabinoid] agonist significantly reduced the level of aggression in hostile mice.”

The study’s conclusion was very encouraging and went on to state that marijuana has a lot of potential for managing aggression in humans. The study noted: “Our results suggest that CB2r [cannabinoid receptor] is implicated in social interaction and aggressive behavior and deserves further consideration as a potential new target for the management of aggression.”
