CNN (3/16, LaMotte) reports, “Using medical or recreational marijuana to ease symptoms of numerous mental health conditions doesn’t work, according to two new analyses of existing gold-standard research.” One study, published in Lancet Psychiatry, “analyzed results from 54 randomized controlled trials published between 1980 and 2025.” Meanwhile, “a recent JAMA paper…also explored the effectiveness of natural and synthetic forms of CBD and THC on mental health conditions.”
