YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Main Chapters:

Currently, 19 states, where almost half of all Americans reside, have legalized marijuana for any adult over age 21. An additional 21 states permit “medical” marijuana. More Americans are lighting up, and more are running into problems with marijuana.

Simultaneously, we have seen an increase in claims that marijuana can be useful for treating a host of mental health conditions, ranging from depression to anxiety to PTSD and ADHD. Is there any merit to these assertions?
