The largest-ever systematic review of cannabis for mental health, published in The Lancet Psychiatry, analyzed 54 randomized controlled trials over 45 years and found no evidence that medicinal cannabis effectively treats anxiety, depression, PTSD, or any other psychiatric condition. The findings challenge the practices of nearly every U.S. state medical marijuana program that lists mental health conditions as qualifying diagnoses, even as roughly 62 million Americans use cannabis annually and about half of medical users cite mental health as their reason.
