The largest review of medicinal cannabis to date found it doesn’t effectively treat anxiety, depression, or PTSD—despite millions using it for those reasons. Researchers warn it could even make mental health worse, raising risks like psychosis and addiction while delaying proven treatments. Some limited benefits were seen for conditions like insomnia and autism, but the evidence is weak. The findings are fueling calls for stricter oversight as cannabis use continues to rise.

    I love assigning self-crit like homework, it’s just abusing “leftist” parlance to say “I’m correct and you should be ashamed of yourself.” “Honestly,” fuck off with that

    You’ve objectively been unable to have a calm discussion about this.

    When someone tells you they have had trouble with substance abuse and you don’t know how bad it was you shouldn’t respond under the assumption that it was borderline trivial and has no emotional valence. That’s what I’m saying.

    And what I am saying is that to expect this on Hexbear is misguided UNLESS one clarifies their seriousness.

    Do people come here for seriousness? Sure. Do people come here to throw around emojis? Yes.

    Both are forms of community. Someone got them mixed up in an ubderstandable way. Big whoop.

    Edit:

    you keep assigning arbitrary goalposts

    Just because you jumped at me from the get go and failed to comprehend my very consistent point…that doesn’t mean goalposts have been changed… wowee

    It’s like your usage of quotes around “honestly” just now — you assumed i was using quotes in a similar deragatory way earlier around “abused”. I had to clarify for you because you chose to jump on me without seeking to understand. That’s on you dawg
