Marijuana Improves Symptoms For People With Anorexia And Other Eating Disorders, Study Finds

Key Takeaway

Using marijuana appears to have a "positive outcome" on people struggling with some eating disorders, according to a new study. "Cannabis is widely used by people with eating disorders and is widely perceived as beneficial in restrictive and food-averse, but not binge, eating disorder subtypes," the paper, published in the Journal of Eating Disorders, found.

What This Means for Cannabis Businesses

Tax developments like this directly impact the bottom line for every cannabis operator. With Section 280E creating effective tax rates above 70% for many businesses, any shift in federal tax policy - whether through rescheduling, court rulings, or IRS guidance - can mean the difference between profitability and closure. Cannabis business owners should work closely with a specialized CPA to understand how these changes affect their specific situation.
