And while marijuana has been shown to help ease pain and a few other health problems, two-thirds of U.S. states have decided pot should be legal to treat many other conditions with little scientific backing.
"In this first study of patients randomized to obtain medical marijuana cards, we learned there can be negative consequences to using cannabis for medical purposes. People with pain, anxiety or depression symptoms failed to report any improvements, though those with insomnia experienced improved sleep," Gilman added.
The U.S. government, meanwhile, both considers marijuana an illegal drug and a therapeutic herb worth more study.Besides chronic pain, there’s strong evidence marijuana or its ingredients can ease nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy and help with symptoms of multiple sclerosis. British drugmaker GW Pharmaceuticals is seeking U.S. approval for Sativex. Other companies are pursuing Food and Drug Administration backing for products based on marijuana ingredients.

Said.. No one ever...
Let me guess,,,,Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson or Merck did the study.
So essentially a PR firm is assisting a hospital in Massachusetts to write pieces to get politicians to change the law so hospitals can sell weed. They argue that people with medical cards could take too much Marijuana. The hospital just wants to sell weed
It helped me with anxiety when I smoked it! Everyone is different so the study is bogus!
That’s right people natural plant is not good for you it’s time for processed opioids to solve your problems maybe a little shot of Chinese fentanyl from the southern border? How about some heroin from Afghanistan where the poppies grow. Control poppies control opioid. Hmmm. War
A study by big Pharma I’m sure. BS
That's because of alot of factors. The study conducted was not an appropriate type of study. The NIDA will need to do a variations kind of study because it's not a one size fits all kind of thing. drcarlhart please initiate one.
No…ya think! You mean it’s actually like alcohol?
This message brought to you by pharmaceutical industry lobby
Cannabis use disorders? Please define
Kind late isn’t it, it’s already legal and most of the people consume it.

I'd like to read the reports on that study. There are different strains and strengths of cannabis. That do different things. Their study was not performed properly. Or this report would read differently....
But tobacco, alcohol or opioids are fine right?
I could’ve told you that years ago, except I was too anxious and depressed and too busy trying to get more pot.
Maryj gives 500 percent increase of psychosis in daily users. Time to ban that shit.
Been a medical marijuana patent since I was 18. Without it I would have been a lot worse off. It helped me quell my anxiety when other medicines made it worse.
😂😂😂👏
But Psilocybin mushrooms DO HELP so why on earth are they not legal? So freakin stupid!
Booze is much healthier
Said someone without depression or anxiety
Only dope fiends insist that dope is helpful.
What have researchers been smokin?!? 😳😳😳😉😂🤣
It’s weird you post this right before the US House of Representatives is gonna vote on it
Did Nixon write this?
What a joke. Not an actual scientific study since it is illegal to do so by federal law. Plus only looked at medical marijuana…
kanyewest disagrees
bought and published by your local big tobacco company.
Nothing helps depression.. there fixed it
As someone who has severe anxiety I can confirm this is cap it actually helps
I call bullshit.
Weed has been know for decades to produce anxiety depression and paranoid thoughts.......there doesn't need to be a study🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you just need to clear your head take a small break and have a good head space going in.
Bogus
Talk about taking the study’s findings out of context . If you actually read the source, what it says it we need better guidance for patients that currently “choose their own products, decide their own dosing, and often receive no professional follow-up care.”
Now do ambien, oxy, adderall, and xanax.
My only addiction is to cookies and cereal at 1am and the only disorder for me, is obesity because of marijuana, Marijuana never made me lose a job, get arrested but it does make me scared of the dark if I watch a scary movie before bed😂
Weed can give anxiety and paranoia this is true.
Sure.
The study suggests that the problem lies in the lack of medical oversight of self-medication, not the mere use of cannabis. Most people with medical cards are not actually under the care of a doctor. They get their marijuana information from retail clerks.
When I dislocated my shoulder, weed helped me more than the hydros I was prescribed. Lmao what a bullshit study
Well damn
This isn’t true, flat out lie.
This wasn’t a very big study. The OP is a tad misleading
That’s not what I read online.
“while marijuana has been shown to help ease pain and a few other health problems…” Why is this written like someone’s high school report the night before it was due?
CUD? Lmmfao
🐂
Just wait until you find out what alcohol can do.
Who funded this study?
Drugs are bad for you? Shocking.
