What was said
"The data suggests that smoked cannabis whether containing primarily THC or CBD has little acute impact meaning immediate impact on OCD symptoms and yield smaller reductions in anxiety compared to placebo."
Despite widespread interest in cannabis as a potential OCD treatment, research from Dr. Blair Simpson's lab found that both THC and CBD cannabis produced negligible effects on OCD symptoms and reduced anxiety less effectively than placebo. This deflates growing enthusiasm around cannabis-based treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder.
