For this post, I will write a
synthesis sketch report on the decision problem I have been discussing over the last
few months. The problem is as follows:
Should you use marijuana to treat for
anxiety or depression?
In order to address this problem, I
have formed two hypotheses. The two
hypotheses are as follows:
Marijuana is effective when treating
for anxiety and depression,
and
Marijuana isn’t effective for
treating for anxiety and depression.
As marijuana is an illegal substance
in most of the world, the professional studies I will use will mostly focus on
the latter hypothesis. Finding studies
for both of these hypotheses are difficult, but the studies I have found mostly
relate to proving the second hypothesis.
I will use three studies to address this issue.
For the former hypothesis, I will use
newspaper articles that support its claim.
It was decidedly easier to find articles that didn’t involve actual marijuana use in an experimental environment because of its illegality.
Reports used after the break…
