That's why I smoke weed every day, to keep the psychosis at bay.

In other Colorado news the board that decides on what issues are eligible met just the other day to decide on PTSD. Despite moving testimony from numerous veterans the board voted not to include it. Pisses me off to say the least. Fuck every one of those people who voted against it.

Given my own experiences with pot, I can see why it would be a touch and go issue. In many cases, pot can alleviate anxiety. In many cases, it can exacerbate it.

According to new research, the administration of the non-psychotropic component cannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) in marijuana significantly helps heal bone fractures. The study, conducted on rats with mid-femoral fractures, found that CBD - even when isolated from the major psychoactive component of cannabis - markedly enhanced the healing process of the femora after just eight weeks.

I think it all depends on the strain. If I'm feeling anxious and I smoke a strong sativa it can make me feel worse (it's only happened a few times) but indicas work great for me.

Study finds no link between teen marijuana use, mental health issues

A new study reports that chronic marijuana use in teenage boys does not appear to be linked to later physical or mental health issues such as depression, psychotic symptoms or asthma. The study, published by the American Physiological Association, did not include teenage girls.


Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and Rutgers University compiled data by tracking 408 males from adolescence into their mid-30s. The participants were placed into four groups based on their reported marijuana use: low or non-users, early chronic users, participants who only smoked during adolescence, and those who began using marijuana late in their teens and continued through adulthood. Early chronic users reported higher marijuana use, which increased in their teens to a peak of more than 200 days per year on average when they were 22 years old, the news release said.


The study was an offshoot of the Pittsburg Youth Study, which tracked 14-year-old male students in Pittsburgh public schools in the late 1980s, according to a news release. Participants were surveyed annually or semiannually, and a follow up survey was conducted in 2009-2010 when the volunteers were 36 years old.


Based on the results of prior studies, authors expected to find a link between teen marijuana use and the later development of psychotic symptoms, cancer, asthma or respiratory problems but found none, according to a news release.


“What we found was a little surprising,” lead researcher Jordan Bechtold, a psychology research fellow at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, said in the release. “There were no differences in any of the mental or physical health outcomes that we measured regardless of the amount of frequency of marijuana used during adolescence.”


Researchers also found no link between teen marijuana use and lifetime depression, anxiety, allegories, headaches or high blood pressure. The team also controlled for other factors that could have influenced results such as cigarette smoking, other illicit drug use, and access to health insurance.


“We wanted to help inform the debate about legalization of marijuana, but it’s a very complicated issue and one study should not be taken in isolation,” Bechtold said, according to the news release.

Wouldn't surprise me at all. The folks who found that it's biggest issues in teens were the disruption of learning (as an effect of intake high, then extended low due to high THC) didn't believe it caused longterm mental health effects other than disrupting learning during the high/low cycle.
