Mental Health Awareness Month: Cannabis for Anxiety & Stress Relief
May 5, 2026

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and at Proper Cannabis we want to take the time to talk openly about anxiety, one of the most common qualifying conditions among Missouri medical cannabis patients. If anxiety or stress is what led you to get your medical card, this month's spotlight is for you.
We want to be upfront: we are not medical providers, and nothing here is medical advice. We do not make claims about what cannabis does for anxiety. What we can offer is a listening ear, and a place where you can educate yourself on what products may work for you.
Have anxiety about shopping in store?
We get it—stepping into a dispensary can be an anxiety inducing experience in itself. We pride ourselves in providing a variety of shopping experiences, including free delivery and online order pickup windows/drive thrus at select Proper dispensaries. When you come in to shop, our goal is help you understand the product landscape: format differences, cannabinoid profiles, and the options our patients most frequently ask about and return to. We'll also encourage you to keep your mental health provider in the loop about your cannabis use.
This month's featured products:
Marshmallowz from Proper Cannabis is a strain with relaxing and euphoric effects that many of our anxiety patients ask about. Honeybee’s Sour Cherry Lime 1:10 Gumdrops offer a precise dose of 1mg THC/10mg CBD for those who prefer a consistent and low dosage. Local’s strain Wifi #3 offers relaxing and calming effects, making it perfect for an end of the day wind down.
