Hi Bella,

Thanks for your question. Many people believe marijuana can help with anxiety, but it is my experience that marijuana makes anxiety worse. Your question is a great topic for an article, and I will put it on my list to write about. In the meantime, check out these resources about the dangers of marijuana use, especially in a still-developing brain (under the age of 35). Here is a great resource of facts. https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/marijuana

Here is a longitudinal study of long term effects of marijuana use https://www.drugabuse.gov/related-topics/adolescent-brain/longitudinal-study-adolescent-brain-cognitive-development-abcd-study

All my best,
Alicia

Can this be a solution to my problem? Any suggestion or sharing experience is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
