Duh.
But it’s health smoke!
Also causes mental illness.

"Those studies did not ask people how they used cannabis — such as via smoking, vaping, dabbing, edibles, tinctures or topicals."

Kind of important really. Also important to note how many of these people smoke tobacco too, whether first hand or second hand.

I have been employed since I was fourteen, which was fifty years ago.

Not everyone has a heart attack, either.

Key words: "increases risk".

Someone gave me some 100mg gummies awhile back. I would take like 1/8 - 1/6 of that and be good to go! Anything more and my clinical anxiety would kick in and it would be no longer pleasant. As long as the dose was kept small and with a few beers, I was getting some of the best and most satisfying sleep I'd had in years after a few hours of happy time.

Except that this isn't an actual study. I've bolded the critical parts.

In their analysis, researchers looked at 24 studies published between January 2016 and January 2023 that included about 200 million people. . . . . . . .

The researchers acknowledged that many of the studies they analyzed lacked information on missing data and had imprecise measures of cannabis exposure. Most of the studies were also observational."

Also, their conclusions isn't that cannabis should be criminalized, but rather controlled, which it is.

“Specifically, cannabis should be treated like tobacco: not criminalized but discouraged, with protection of bystanders from secondhand exposure,” the editorial authors added.

I have a lot of suspicions about "studies of studies". Going into the data created for other studies, and creating a new hypothesis about the results. That's because all too often these people start with the answer and then use these studies to confirm what they believe to be true, instead of starting with the question and letting the data to determine the answer. It was "studies of studies" that lead to the false conclusion that HCL was an effective covid cure. A lot of people died as a result.

That said, there are other studies that are suggesting something similar. But I'm not sold on this one or their methods.

Paul McCartney announced that he quit smoking weed in 2015. Now he's into his 80's and he still tours. I've known quite a few people like this. I even work with a 71 yr old who smokes weed and runs circles around the 20-somethings. These 20-somethings always ***** and moan like they're seriously ill and call off frequently. WTF??

Smoke it, don't smoke it, it's your choice. But don't try to make that decision for everyone else though.

And in dystopian places like California, where the local government actually encourages people to get high, the stench is literally everywhere. I was in Sacramento in May, and the stench of weed was in every public space I encountered. Literally every one.

Its called freedom.

When the FBI Behavioral Science first started interviewing Serial killers they discovered that some large percentage, I think it was 90+% had one of more abusive, alcoholic parent; not one had a stoner parent

Several mass killers have been known potheads.
Alcoholism doesn’t have anything to do with the inherent dangers of pot.

That's not my recollection from reading John Douglas's work

I don’t know who nor know why I should care who John Douglas is.
I do understand data, however.
