"Those numbers suggest that cannabis use disorder is about half as dangerous as opioid addiction and slightly less dangerous than alcohol use disorder, the researchers said." You're telling me that for every 2 people that die from opioid abuse there's one who dies from cannabis abuse? 10/10 reefer madness. This type of stuff is a big reason why there is less and less trust in "experts" and "scientists" these days. Young people read something like this and rightly question what other "expert" opinions are also bullshit.
I agree that claim seems ridiculous. I think that study probably is showing correlations more than causation. The part I quoted is what I find convincing-- that population levels of psychosis have increased post-legalization. I'll update my note here to clarify that I don't necessarily agree with the research overall.
