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’m reading over the thread and getting a vibe that a lot of people are having strong reactions to the paper - maybe because some people feel invalidated by the paper? idk. threads like these have particularly bad vibes, and the detached/dismissive irony that is common here can be especially jarring
