flag Study suggests marijuana may reduce anxiety medication prescriptions in legal states, but more research is needed.

flag A recent study in JAMA Network Open shows that in states where marijuana is legal for medical and recreational use, there is a reduction in prescriptions for anxiety medications like benzodiazepines. flag This suggests marijuana might serve as an alternative treatment for anxiety, though it's unclear if it's equally effective or if it affects rates of psychotic disorders and depression. flag Further research is needed to understand these impacts better.
