I'll just tell the people who tell me it helps that it really doesn't. Does it matter if it's from weed or placebo? I don't think it does.

It does it there are risks of adverse effects. If it's only placebo a substance with no possible negative side effects could be just as effective.

Yes, spread the word that weed is not the panacea everybody wants to believe. Tell the chronic users in your life that there's better interventions that can produce meaningful improvements.

Ahh, my holy trinity!

Legit, no drug really helps them. They pretty much do nothing more than suppressing symptoms while in your system. What helps is working on the underlying causes. Doesn't matter much what kind of drug you take if you don't actually address why your brain is fucked.
