Comment on Huge study finds no evidence cannabis helps anxiety, depression, or PTSD

I’m just talking out my neck here, but as I recall from previous research I read like 10-20 years ago, it seemed that cannabis, for some, helped relieve acute symptoms in the moments after symptom onset, but I don’t think cannabis had any effect on overall anxiety long term.
Also cannabis — like literally ANY DRUG — literally fucks with your brain chemistry so uhhhhh an abundance of caution is necessary and one should really try to avoid using any mind-altering substances until their brain is done cookin’ sometime between 25-30.
Also, the causal relationship to psychotic disorders is fairly well documented at this point. Again, exercise caution if possible.
This should in no way be taken as reason to continue with cannabis prohibition, because prohibition is the devil.
