I think it amplifies the sickness in the pothead's brain. Unnecessary drug. It's been legalized but it's only a good excuse to get high. That's what cannabis really is. The whole world needs to go to rehab now. The producers of medical Marijuana are making a killing on sales. And it's to our expense. We the people are the ones who get our lungs and brains polluted with this trash crop. If it stops other people's seizures like they claim it to be, it is still not good. The seizure stopped because the guy is high as a kite now. It's not good being high. It fries your brain. Hey, I don't smoke shit like cigarettes and pot. So I am not pro pot. ๐๐๐๐๐
Happy to have a brief answer here, or a pointer to where I could learn more (I googled and found some papers that talked about it, but they were talking about it from a perspective of existing familiarity with the concept)… or… a pointer to a SciShow Psych episode (either already extant or newly created) would delight me greatly. ๐ (You (and other SciShow folks) do a wonderful job of explaining things.)
Okay, I have ADHD extremely bad, so I'm not really sure what I just watched or what I just heard. But, could someone please tell me what this video said in a nutshell?!!? Can THC actually cause psychosis, schizophrenia, and things like that?!!? I have bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, severe anxiety, etc., so could I get schizophrenia or something like that because I already have mental problems?!!? Please and thank you!!! ๐
geez, i hate it when the "financial gains" get emphasized. i'm from canada and we're going full legal on marijuana oct 17 and already i can see how "financial gains" is going to lower the quality of the pot i smoke. to sum it up: i want plants grown outside without manufactured fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc ad nauseum. guess i'll go back to growing mediocre medicine in my backyard.
i bet if we were to switch from marijuana to hemp in the economy we would get rid of the stigma, the less desirable effects of thc and only get the good effects we want!
I have been using cannabis to combat my anxiety and panic disorder for over three years now. I generally take one breath off a vape pen every morning, and use strains with a mix of thc and cbd. This is enough to keep my brain from spinning from one worry to another to another and spiraling through invasive thoughts (thanks to SciShow Psych now I know thatโs called rumination). I donโt like the feeling of getting high, so I keep my intake very low. I wish it could be more standardized though, as certain strains have made me paranoid or made my mind jump from topic to topic to topic in quick succession. Others have made me mellow, while others make it easier to focus on a single task for a long time. No matter what Iโve tried, they all keep me awake (Hence taking it in the morning), and Iโve tried my fair share of indica, sativa, and hybrid strains. I also go to counseling and wouldnโt recommend simply self medicating. (Iโve also been on commercial anti anxiety meds – lorazepam made my heart race and my tongue spasm on half the lowest dose I could be prescribed – cannabis hasnโt had these kinds of side effects)
I love this segment of the show ๐ Even with a scientific background, articles are often so hard to read on your own and really understand what they're talking about. And it's exciting that we're finally getting some solid studies about the benefits of cannabis!

Thanks for the video! Medicine from the past, for the future. ๐
Excellent pronunciation. This one sounded challenging.

Scholarly journal article titles are always the best/worst ๐๐คฃ
This is a great show and I love all the topics you guys choose! Thanks for the education ๐
thank you for breaking down this study! very interesting. also really loved how you pointed out what was good from the study and what can be improved.
i bet if we were to switch from marijuana to hemp in the economy we would get rid of the stigma, the less desirable effects of thc and only get the good effects we want!
"Can Cannabis Help Mental Illness?" Yes, but only if it's Chronic.
