Scientists are certain that ma*****na doesn’t ease anxiety.

Two comprehensive new analyses published in Lancet Psychiatry and JAMA have debunked the long-held belief that ma*****na serves as an effective treatment for mental health. Despite being frequently prescribed for anxiety, depression, and PTSD, researchers found "no evidence" that any form of cannabis, including CBD and THC, provides clinical benefits for these conditions.

Lead researcher Jack Wilson noted that most studies used controlled oral formulations, meaning real-world smoked cannabis likely has even less proven efficacy. This creates a concerning gap between medical practice and scientific reality, as nearly half of medical ma*****na users specifically use the drug to manage their psychological well-being.

Beyond the lack of benefits, experts warn that the soaring potency of modern ma*****na—which can reach THC concentrations of 80% in concentrates—poses serious health risks.

Frequent use of high-potency products is linked to cannabis use disorder and an increased risk of developing psychotic disorders like schizophrenia, particularly in young adults.

Rather than relying on unproven cannabis treatments, medical professionals recommend turning to gold-standard interventions such as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

These evidence-based methods remain the most reliable path for individuals seeking relief from mental health challenges without the risks of addiction or long-term cognitive harm.

In this, the hour of the noonday sun,
we raise our hands to the Peaceful One.
This is the hour to pray for peace,
for kindness and compassion to increase.

So let this be the hour of release.
Let us bow to each other and pray for peace.
Let this be our promise. Let this be our song.
We will be the peace for which we long.

Before we share our noonday meal,
our deepest hungers let us feel.
This is the hour for peace to flower.
Let us be the peace. Let us be the peace.
