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.

      Gives unfortunately. I can do acid and shrooms no problem. But give me 1/4 of an edible and I feel like I am losing my mind.

      It gives me anxiety but that’s me. I think that’s the point, it’s clearly doing something to the brain.
