I know there are some issues with this study, but I am gen curious about the effect of marijuana on blood sugars. I know my own experiences are literally just that, but my blood sugars drop when I take my medical marijuana. I have chronic pain and cPTSD and this is what works best for me. I have seen an improvement in my health since I found a good balance and treatment plan. My health is better, and part of that is not feeling crappy and depressed all the time, but it has a noticable effect in other areas. When I upped my CBD (and took it with THC) my inflammation markers lowered. I can't take NSAIDS, so if I am injured this is one thing I go to.

I don't think it cures everything, nor do I see it as a cure. It works nicely with my treatments for certain conditions and it's possible it works well in conjunction with other courses of treatment. It also doesn't mean there are no downsides. The thing is, most people who are on medication for life have to live with downsides like that all the time. Some treatments can be hard on the kidneys, liver heart, or stomach. Some cause neurological issues. Some damage is irreversible. It is all about what does the least harm for the most quality of life. That's never going to be a one size fits all solution and it shouldn't have to be one. I would love to see reliable, reproducible studies, whatever they show. I could be some werid outlier or something else could be going on. Or there could be something to it. I would really like to know more.
