    This article is about mental illness, not skin conditions. Mental illness is a much more nebulous field of study.

        What are you talking about? This article is an example of more study and resources being applied to the area. Just because you don’t like the results doesn’t mean the research is invalid.

        If you want to discuss flaws in the study’s methodology, great, but using anecdotal evidence for an unrelated issue as a counter to its efficacy as a mental health drug is silly.

        I personally use THC for its anti inflammatory properties, but I’m not going to assume that it is evidence of being a treatment of mental health issues.

          I didn’t say it was invalid. You read a whole lot into my one sentence there. I was not in the conversation at all before that one sentence comment.

            My mistake, I thought you were the original person I responded to.

            But with the new context I’m not sure if your comment is supposed to be contradicting or supporting.

              I think we’re generally in agreement that more nebulous fields need to gather a lot more data before clear patterns and actual usable insights emerge
