alt Hacker NewsI'm directly quoting the portion of the abstract related to anxiety and depression, tell me how that's misrepresenting?
> There was an absence of RCT evidence for the treatment of depression.
> Meta-analysis revealed higher odds of all-cause adverse events (OR 1·75, 95% CI 1·25 to 2·46) among those using cannabis versus control group
And my point was that the paper talks about absence of data about efficacy on treatment so arguing on helping vs. curing in interpreting it is moot.
The abstract is not the full study. This is why people should have training in research methods before saying they know how to understand research papers
