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.
Yea I’m in the same position, I’ve got my decarb/infusing process dialed in with coconut oil so I can be pretty sure of how strong each batch is/what the effects will be like. Baking is more fun anyway, making a tincture was an interesting experiment but not one I’ll ever repeat.
The worst experience I ever had with edibles was doing the math wrong and accidentally making a batch that was twice as strong, I didn’t realize my mistake until the edible I took hit me like a truck and I spent the next 8 hours locked to my couch watching Futurama. I’ll take that over being crossfaded/too drunk any day of the week, the worst thing that happens when I’m too high is eating a bag of chips to myself and feeling like crap because of it lol
