There are real, actual medical uses for cannabis. Parkinson’s being one of them. But I absolutely get where you’re coming from being frustrated by all the things people claim cannabis “cures”. Oh it helps with anxiety? Tell that to the dude who just had a psychotic break because of it. And don’t even get me started on chronic pain. I have smoked weed every day for more than 10 years. It does not alleviate pain like that, if at all.
Knew somebody who had colorectal cancer and got medicinal cannabis. While he admitted he only got it so he could smoke legally, he also said that it was the only thing that helped him get an appetite and eat because the chemo and the cancer itself killed his appetite most of the time. He said it did nothing for the pain though.
I have anxiety as well as a cardiac arrhythmia. I’d imagine cannabis would make those things worse, so I’ve avoided smoking any, even in spite of recreational use being legalized in my state.

Also, cannabis is just as likely to make depression worse in the long term as it is to make it better.
