      It’s got a lot of good quality uses. It’s a shame that many people don’t realize it can be abused like any other drug.

      I hope that a proper dosage for things like THC can be determined in the future for medication use. Not to restrict access to the substance but to protect at risk people from substance abuse due to many of the popular misconceptions about cannabis and addiction.

      It’s been helping with mine so far but I rather seek better options soon

      „Further randomized controlled trials, stratified by comorbidity profiles and product composition, are required to confirm efficacy, optimize treatment regimens, and clarify long-term safety.”

      This is correlational study with an egregiously inaccurate headline. We can not infer causation from this.

      Furthermore, this article is hosted on a website about advocacy for marijuana legalization. There could not be a stronger risk of bias.

      This is great news. More research like this may actually lead to proper funding. The more people are aware of the medical benefits, the more they can pursue harm reduction behaviors by choosing to use THC instead of self-medicating with way, way more harmful things like alcohol. And for those who may not react well to other psychiatric drugs.

      It was helping me quite a bit, but no amount of weed, SSRI’s, nor therapy can make the environment you live in better if it’s the cause of your depression and anxiety.

      It works but it has downsides. It can blunt cognitive ability and presence of mind. I’d rather have something that lets my mind stay sharp, but I can’t find anything that works. Weed feels great though. It actually makes me want to exercise and be active

      It has definitely helped me. I also have PTSD and bipolar 2. It has definitely helped.

      These are observational data from a registry of medicinal cannabis recipients at a private clinic in the UK.

      There’s no control group, and the group is inherently selected both by enrollment (with most being current cannabis users), and by outcome (patients had to have a long enough follow up time to be in the study; the outcomes are based on questionnaire responses, and people doing well are much more likely to fill these in, making imputation unreliable).

      These data can’t say anything robust about the effect of cannabis on treatment resistant depression.

      “Across all prescription types, the THC doses increased steadily over time, reaching a median dose of 220.00 mg/day [116.00–258.50 mg/day] at 18 months before remaining stable thereafter.”

      That seems like so much THC! Products by me are dosed at 2.5/4/10/15mg. Taking 220mg of THC per day seems so high, pun not intended but definitely applies.

      I’ve struggled with depression for decades and recently quit smoking weed because I felt like it was making things worse instead of better. I was a daily smoker for 10 years. YMMV.

      I find it sad how demonized marijuana still is. It has very useful medicinal qualities but it’s still talked about as if we’re in the middle of reefer madness

      This article mentions nothing about using marijuana alongside taking psychiatric medications. DO NOT take them together. I’m sure there are people here with survivor bias but there are serious side effects, both mental and physical. It’s super important to consult a psychiatrist before using marijuana if you’re mentally ill and on meds. Take it from someone who had a psychotic break from it because I wasn’t properly educated on the risks

      Interesting! Cannabis makes me feel good in the moment but afterwards I slip into total despair and panic. I am jealous of those it helps.

      For anyone curious about how a registry study works, this is basically real world patients tracked over time not a placebo controlled trial, so we need trials but the real life signal is interesting
