Study Explores Cannabis Use in Eating Disorder Management

A recent study published in the Journal of Eating Disorders indicates that marijuana use appears to be associated with a “positive outcome” for individuals contending with specific eating disorders. The research examined how cannabis is perceived and utilized within this population.

The paper highlighted that cannabis sees widespread use among people with eating disorders. Its perceived benefits primarily relate to restrictive and food-averse eating disorder subtypes, rather than binge-eating disorder subtypes.
