Back to EpisodesCannabis Ineffective for Mental Health Issues
Description
New study debunks cannabis as effective for common mental health issues, despite global rise in patients seeking it. Largest analysis yet, involving 2,477 participants, found little evidence supporting its use for anxiety, anorexia, psychotic disorders, PTSD, or opioid use disorder. Some potential benefits for sleep, Tourette syndrome, and autism, but data is low-quality. Experts have mixed views, with psychiatrists warning against overuse and industry groups pointing to patient reports of relief for anxiety and trauma. UK reviewing cannabis laws to check for unintended effects.
