Is Cannabis Effective to improve Mental Health?

There are many people telling about the positive effects of marijuana on their mental health. Even if there is no real evidence that supports this, researches have shown it treats various depressive disorders. That is why people consume marijuana-derived products to cure stress, anxiety, depression, and other disorders.
You can legally buy cannabis from national dispensaries in the U.S. after showing a Medical Marijuana Card. This card is issued online after the recommendation of the 420 professionals. They help patients and consumers find the best ways to use cannabis products safely and effectively. Recently there has been a debate over its effectiveness to treat mental conditions. It is basically due to the lack of any compelling evidence to treat anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity, and psychiatric disorders.

However, it’s only after seeing the benefits of medical marijuana, 31 states of the U.S. have legalized it. With that, nine have legalized marijuana’s recreational use as well. After changes in rules and regulations, its popularity surged leading to an increase in the number of people using it every day. Due to this more research is being done to see the mental health outcomes after smoking or vaping.

High demand for Mental Health Treatments

• Every day there is a new claim about the effectiveness of cannabis to treat mental health, which has led to its legalization and more demand.
• Many countries have relaxed their laws after health systems have seen it as an effective treatment for mental health conditions.
• Moreover, the huge burden on the healthcare agencies of mental health issues, made doctors use this effective treatment to battle with depression and increasing suicide rates.
• It is a perfect cure for physical and mental health problems. It contains tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), which are the main substances that are considered to be mental health treatment options. 
• THC is responsible for improving symptoms of anxiety and chronic pain. Although no clear evidence proving that it’s effective in improving mental health, it addresses the symptoms.

Warnings from Medical Professionals

• Medical communities have cautioned the countries who have legalized medical cannabis or are planning to do so. Because there’s no proof for its potent health benefits. 
• But, higher THC content in cannabis has adverse reactions. So if you’re thinking about treating yourself with marijuana, or products derived from marijuana. Talk to 420 professionals to ensure certain conditions and medications do not interact with it.
• Because only conclusive evidence to treat chronic pain and reduce nausea, have been found. There is very little evidence of its other therapeutic benefits. The efficacy of cannabis for pain relief has reduced the use of opioids for pain significantly. Cannabinoids are found to be adjuncts to opioids for pain relief and have the potential to decrease their adverse effects. 
• Medical bodies are working to find scientific evidence to back its therapeutic benefits with claims. As some studies show that it can worsen mental disorders, medicinal cannabis companies are working hard to find supporting evidence. 
• They are using various ways to grade the potency of cannabis, to know the levels of the psychoactive(THC) content present in cannabis.

Summary 

Although most of the evidence suggests the health effects of cannabis are dose-related, so only giving a particular amount of cannabis is helpful. Health professionals are working to provide clear information for every cannabis product and strength to the users. And, it's the concentration of THC in cannabis, that has knock-on effects. Consuming products with lower levels of THC lessens the symptoms of disorders and does not affect health. But it’s the form with high THC levels that lead to severe problems.
