Cannabis in both cases works well for a great many people.

  Cannabis derived treatments do seem promising... someday. Imagine that marijuana is (at a minimum) federally rescheduled to schedule 2 in the US. How long will it take to research canniboid-based painkillers once drug companies can legally do so? How pong for FDA approval? It will be a long time until there is an alternative that is taken seriously by anyone other than the most progressive physicians in the realm of cannabis, unfortunately.

    I agree with this. I'm personally rather upset that it's schedule 1, meaning it has no medical benefit whatsoever, which is clearly BS and it makes it hard to research.

  With anxiety, cannabis has pretty mixed effects, and we haven't been able to create reliable medications derived from cannabis that help. I've seen cannabis exacerbate as much anxiety as I have seen it help.

    Vaporized CBD (isolated by itself) is apparently quite effective for many people who have trouble getting to sleep because they can't stop worrying about every possible outcome of an upcoming meeting or date, or replaying stressful conversations or situations that happened days, weeks, or even 5 years ago. The "broad spectrum" products that have multiple active components are far more variable, clearly.

    Sure, if you smoke sativa. Indica does wonders for anxiety, but until recently most people were stuck just smoking whatever they could get their hands on, even if it resulted in a bad high.

  Funny, I stopped smoking years ago because weed makes me anxious.
