After reviewing 5,876 outcomes reported anonymously by 1,819 individuals tracking their cannabis use for treating depression through the Releaf App, the researchers concluded that, on average, patients reported an improvement in symptom of nearly 4 points on a scale of 0 to 10, just moments after consuming whole, dried, natural cannabis flower – widely known as cannabis buds.
By means of comparison, readers should know that conventional pharmaceuticals used for the treatment of the symptoms of depression normally take several weeks, or even months, to start causing significant relief. Furthermore, the study notes that the potential side effects associated with these traditional pharma products include sedation, agitation, anxiety, anorgasmia, demotivation, and suicidal ideation.
The investigators also discovered that up to one in five individuals who used cannabis flower containing high levels of THC experienced some negative side effects, such as feeling unmotivated. Having said this, the report adds individuals in the study were three times as likely to experience positive effects like happiness, optimism, peacefulness, and relaxation.
“With no end to the depression epidemic in site, and given the limitations and potential severe negative side effects of conventional antidepressant medications, there is a real need for people to be able to treat mood disturbances with natural, safe, and effective medications, and cannabis checks off all three boxes,” concluded Vigil.

in exchange for lifelong ret*rdation not a very enticing trade
Told my doctors this for years and all I copped was lies and propaganda from them. Luckily I finally found a good doctor
This ain’t new... cannabis have always provided immediate temporary relief for depression, but we also know it’s a permanent long term cause of systemic mental debilitation.
CarverJohns forbes we can’t thank you enough for your endless, inspiring and educational contribution to the world around us
Late to the 🎉 party

Gold and Silver shortages are here. At $1800+ gold, companies like Sandstorm are going to make SO much money. great interview:

And yet... The war on drugs costs American tax payers $47+ billion annually. 608,775 people were charged for simply possessing cannabis in 2018. 11+ states have legalized cannabis for recreational use.
highergtv narcotics means euphoria and sleep inducing, must requirement for stressed alcoholics of usa and europe!
And the sky’s blue, what’s new
I smoke. Hi CBD low THC. Cycling injury few years back. I find it better than any proscribed pain killer.. I'v never been depressed so... nice side effect?😁
I can think of a few people that I know that it didn’t help after years of smoking
Every weed smoker know this already 😁😁😁
Too late, nothing new 😂🙏🏻🤪
I hope this is a rational proof, not just a empirical testing result, which everyone knows.
yep
Ya don’t say
Like we didn’t already know this.
You only needed to ask the millions who use it.
Bathong wbk, you feel so happy + stress free.
JasonSilva I support legalization 100%, but smoking pot is certainly not a cure for chronic depression. The user wakes up the next day more depressed etc
🤣no way
🙄Duh!!! (lol!)
It’s always made people too happy
We've been telling them since they don't want to hear.
I was on strong anti-depressants for 5 years. It was the worst time of my life, the side effects were horrible. I slowly weened off and just smoked weed instead. I still struggle, but I feel so much better.
This is old news.
'study' needs to boost business.
Glad to read they are finally studying this. Want to also see psylocibin decriminalized & studied. Big Pharma needs to wake up to the $ they could make & start lobbying.
No shit?
According to studies, Bears shit in the woods, and wherever else they feel like.
So this is real? 😂
I think the researcher in on high while doing the research
She was my healer through my darkest times . While all the options numb and tickle . Cannabis hugs you but never lets you block the pain rather work shit out 🤗 how can something so made for us be so illegal .
Yuh don’t say
Now that is some useful research.
Duh? Like seriously...lol
Every stoner ever: Duh!
You know it
BWAAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA
wow, cutting edge research
That’s so 790 BC. KnowYourHistory
Yeah it helps with my SI and can get me through a shitty day, a much better choice for a recreational drug than alcohol for people struggling with depression
That bud tho!
That won't suprise me
Ya don’t say...
people have known this for yrs
This is like when you tell somebody something and they repeat exactly what you said like you didn’t just literally say that
And mask prevent corona virus
Smoking good weed is instant relief for any problem you have.
May be or may be not! No proof either way
Not interested in smoking/ingesting it, but it is cute. Would definitely make me smile if I had it as a houseplant, assuming it is not high maintenance.
Your like at least 100 years behind on actual factual data. But hey keep promoting the stories your paid to.
And the negative consequences of long-term cannabis use are?
I concluded the same test results as a teenager and haven’t gone through a bad day since, let alone depression. Lol.
It’s also good for the China 🦠🦠🦠😲😲
How do 1 use it?
I’m pretty sure it does, or at least that’s what I heard. 😁
It is.
Cannabis take my rheumatoid arthritis pain away. It really helps.
Someone actually got paid to do this study?
Psilocybin works better. .....not that I'd know. 🍄
Snoop knew dis time ago....
I can confirm this
And so does alcohol
And how much $ was spent to find out that Cheech and Chong were right? I'll pass on Cannabis Induced Psychosis though, and the depression crash.
Its so pretty
duh.
No way😂😂😂
Why not. Coz psychiatrist appointment + rehab = more money.
Having lawfully availed myself to edibles, I can say unequivocally that this is true for myself. Prefer indica. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
mahalo_wellness CBD 💙 this message!
Lol no fuckin shit. Who is the secret lab scientist that accidentally smelled weed once and realized this?
No shit?
Duh, you actually had to do study 🙄
CO-sign ☺️
Feeling bad ? Blow a bag of Indica thx 🙏
No Shit
We know
And depression again 1 hour later. Wtf
Just imagine running out.
JJC. 🤣
My research studies has proven this research study to be true.
I believe people knew this since the 60's. 😀
Take it from someone who knows 😎
