    it definitely helps me with anxiety and executive dysfunction. it helps me to be more in control of my emotions. it helps me to not focus on compulsive thoughts and depressive internal monologue. not a cure, but a treatment with positives and negatives and that might not be for anyone, like literally any other medicine used to treat mental health issues. i also know people with psychosis that have had horrible times (constantly felt like they were dreaming, constant false awakenings, memory problems/lapses, etc.) on prescription drugs and now just use weed with much better outcomes. i know people with ADHD that tried prescription drugs that made their dick stop working. weed just gives me dry mouth personally (and an increased risk of cancer down the line if i don’t switch to purely vaping/edibles).
