Empirical evidence continues to accumulate suggesting cannabidiol (CBD) may have potential as an anxiolytic. Yet, research in the area is insufficient to support strong inferences. Accordingly, there is a need for additional empirical investigation. Research on the effects of CBD and anxiety requires a working knowledge of both. Understanding of contemporary CBD and anxiety research methods is critical to safely and convincingly test predictions regarding potential anxiolytic effects of CBD. The current paper outlines major design, methods, and safety considerations pertinent both to CBD administration and measuring effects on anxiety outcomes in order to facilitate needed research in this domain.

越来越多的经验证据表明大麻二酚 (CBD) 可能具有抗焦虑药的潜力。然而，该领域的研究不足以支持强有力的推论。因此，需要进行额外的实证调查。对 CBD 和焦虑的影响的研究需要两者的工作知识。了解当代 CBD 和焦虑研究方法对于安全且令人信服地测试有关 CBD 潜在抗焦虑作用的预测至关重要。当前的论文概述了与 CBD 管理和测量对焦虑结果的影响相关的主要设计、方法和安全考虑，以促进该领域所需的研究。
