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.
My only opinion on weed is that alcohol is far worse for you. Maybe I shouldn’t have an opinion though because I haven’t smoked weed or drunk alcohol since high school
Wild that something like alcohol is legal. I wonder if the reason is that it’s so tied into Anglo culture to be drunk as shit all the time that they can’t make it illegal? That shit is so bad for you. I’ve seen it ruin so many peoples health and mood
They tried and failed, no drug should be illegal for adults.
I don’t think it’s coincidence that Quebec has Canada’s most restrictive cannabis laws, and is also home to so many of Canada’s mass-market alcohol producers.
They tried to make it illegal in the 30s and it didn’t take. But I hear yoing adults are drinking less than their parents did, so mYbe tjings are turning around.
I do enjoy alcohol but it’s absolutely a poison on society
