A mildly interesting look at a cannabis related medical study. Good sourcing and overall credible, but quite heavy on speculation which is though, if only cursorily, addressed towards the end of the piece. The Author does only a fair to middling job of making the scientific terminology accessible. Additionally, the sensationalist style of the writing is a bit off-putting and lowbrow. A worthwhile read but only if the few minutes it takes to do so are not able to be spent by the prospective reader more productively elsewhere.

This is a good article to understand a little bit about the marijuana effect in anxious brains. Maybe it could have more information if the study was on a more advanced level, with more human tests and analysis. There's a little bit of speculation, but it was worth to read to get a basic view of the processes related to marijuana effects in minds.
