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 think the real science is that there are a bunch of bible thumpers that don’t want people to have any fun, and greedy rich people who want slave labor provided by prisons. Fucking gross. I don’t give two shits if it helps or not. Stop wasting money to incarcerate people for nonsense and stop enriching sociopaths.
