(The Hill) -- Every day after work, Tim*, a 27-year-old New York City-based nonprofit professional, does the same thing to deal with the anxiety he has struggled with since childhood.   As soon as he gets out of the subway, he takes out a joint kept tucked away in a smell-proof container in his backpack, lights it, and puffs while walking to his Queens apartment.    “I wouldn’t say it cures my anxiety, but it helps manage it,” Tim said. “It just kind of keeps me level.”     Many Americans like Tim smoke, vape or otherwise consume cannabis to take the edge off after a stressful day or to cope with anxiety, one of the most common mental health concerns in the United States.   But while marijuana can reduce anxiety in some people, it can exacerbate it in others — especially if the drug is highly potent. ...

Top-heavy Phoenix got a timely lift from its supposedly short-handed bench Sunday night, while the theoretically more balanced Nuggets got 53 points and 11 assists from Nikola Jokic and not nearly enough from his supporting cast.What to make of that?If Landry Shamet’s 5-of-7 performance from 3-point range and 19 points overall is a blip on the radar, the Nuggets can live with that.“He gave them a third scoring option and he was a huge part of them winning tonight,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said late Sunday.If his hot shooting and timely buckets from the l...
