Cannabis is sychoactive and allows for deeper introspection to anyone attempting to reconcile their mental health.
It may not be a panacea, but it is very much a great tool in the arsenal of mental health.
Comment on Huge study finds no evidence cannabis helps anxiety, depression, or PTSD
fiat_lux@lemmy.world 2 days agoIt’s not the study that’s the problem here, the study clearly examined it “as the primary treatment”. This is a common science media failure, they’ve conflated “primary treatment” with “helps”, and that is not the same thing at all.
Crutches aren’t the “primary treatment” for a broken leg either, but they do assist recovery by allowing someone to not use the broken leg. I’d suggest cannabis plays a similar role, it gives people the distance from the pain that they need for actual recovery, which sounds like it could describe your experience.

It’s a poor analogy. Using crutches on their own will hugely benefit some fraction of broken legs, compared to no treatment. Not as much as a cast, but it will show results.
That doesn’t really work for medication. Painkillers and anti-nausea medication are poor treatments for almost any problem, but they contribute to the treatment of thousands of conditions.

But it’s not the study that said that weed doesn’t help. It says there’s no evidence that using it on its own will help, which is exactly what you’ve described. The awkwardly positioned dick sucking you demand should be from sciencedaily.com

I hear you and I know the feeling very well. I just hate that really bad media reporting is causing people to lose trust in decent science.
I hope that if you find a moment of space and energy, you can consider adjusting the target of your anger. If not, I totally get it - I’ll continue railing against the wilful misrepresentation of people’s hard work elsewhere, and I wish you the best of luck.
