re: Medical marijuana does not help with anxiety, depression, doubles risk of addiction: study

What did the study say about people who use it, because it makes them feel a little bit better during their limited time on planet earth?

In my experience, those folks are well adjusted normal people. It’s the people who claim that medical marijuana cures everything and anything that requires a prescription is the devil in a pill from “big pharma” who usually have issues.

Sativa makes a lot of people more nervous and anxious.

This is the only legit reason, and it's good enough.

its not a health benefit for most people, its to get high. There's nothing wrong with that.

One of the biggest alterations currently is the strength of weed.

It has become increasingly more powerful over the past decade even.

I figure someone has looked into it, but I wonder if stronger strains equal more addictive properties/characteristics.

The world isn’t always fair,, but we all have to play by the rules as they are now, not what we wish they were. if someone can’t stop smoking weed to get a job, or keep the job they have, that is a problem directly caused by smoking weed.

Imagine being so out of touch with reality that you're telling a group of people, who've been using marijuana illegally for ~9 decades, they have to play by the rules. While also ignoring we've got the rules changed time after time, after time... via voter supported amendments.

Sounds like that is a problem created by the government, not marijuana. The type of government related problem that can be traced back as far as the funder of this study's roots.

There’s a few studies out there that indicate higher levels of THC can trigger psychosis. The issue is determining whether it’s exasperating underlying psychosis or triggering new psychosis, which can be difficult to determine.

So until laws catch up with what is already accepted by society people should just pass up what could be life changing employment opportunities for them, and their family so they can continue to get high? That’s a solid plan for getting ahead in life.

I’m well aware of the fact marijuana isn’t technically addictive. But I will make one observation, at least insofar as the OT is concerned. Anytime anything remotely negative about marijuana is mentioned on here a lot of people react to it as you’d expect a Muslim to react to someone insulting Allah.

It's not like our government has taken our money and used it to fight a woefully misguided war against us. I wonder why people are resistant to furthering that agenda
