So, vibes-based meta analysis.
On the risk assessment, they didn't do one. That would have been a way of shaping their statement to show they had thought about the impacts on different users, but not doing one wasn't a suprise.
On the analysis side, they say "London TravelWatch reviewed existing research and analysis".

A new meta-analysis found that certain antidepressants worked better on average than Prozac at helping people with depression feel better and stick with their treatment over the long term.
New Research Compares Long-Term Relief From 21 Antidepressants
In the meta-analysis, a few drugs stood out for offering greater effectiveness over time.

Just so we're clear: this is a >30yo meta analysis that has different findings from a newer 2020 meta analysis that has better data AND more people.
They had to go back to the 90s to find something cherrypickable.

It turns out it doesn't actually matter if the content is violent, extreme or exploitative. Even softcore vanilla content — and, by extension, any public display of women's sexuality — is to blame for men's aggression.

i remain baffled by the desire to act like an analysis of media or a piece of art has to be the dominant one and win against every other possible analysis or meta-essay in a literary cage fight.
get out of the SAT testing mindset. the interpretation of texts doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive! 😭

Before Trump, people who were less engaged in politics generally favored Democrats, but he has managed to energize many of this group.
Have they become Republican ideologues though? We don't know yet.

This was a meta-analysis examining 59 studies. (Though not all studies were suitable for all the different forms of analysis used, it appears the full 59 studies were each analyzed for at least some of the meta-analysis' questions.)

Psychedelics show anti-inflammatory effects in sick animals but not healthy ones, meta-analysis finds
Psychedelics consistently reduced inflammatory markers in lab and animal studies where inflammation had been induced, but not in healthy animals. A review of 61 studies found human evidence too limited to draw conclusions.
