My understanding is that the ratio of THC to CBD is significant; CBD seems to protect against some of the more alarming effects of THC.

For a bit of anecdata, I have anxiety, and sometimes THC can exacerbate the condition (but usually helps to lower my anxiety, which is one of the reasons I still use it). If I feel anxiety coming on, I will often take a CBD gummy to help "level" out the effects of the THC. The potency of cannabis, and the "norm" of commercialization delivering greater highs, has definitely effected my anxiety. In the 1990s, when THC levels were lower, I never had anxiety from cannabis use.
