I'm sorry. Of the millions of babies who die within their first year globally, I find it hard to be suddenly concerned about cannabis's effect on them given the multitude of other factors.
That's not to say it isn't worth study, but it's unlikely worth a headline.
- inpdx 9y agoWhenever there's anything negative even possibly associated with cannabis, there are those who must reflexively shoot it down, or minimize it (i.e. your data is wrong, or, if it's not wrong, it's not as bad as alcohol, or if it is, it's a rare issue). It's like they can't accept that cannabis could ever be bad for any reason. I find this very odd.
- kemiller 9y agoI think it’s anticipating the exact opposite response. Seems like that’s a reasonable defensiveness given our history with attitudes on drugs.
- dugword 9y agoBecause negative news articles about cannabis are almost always flimsy studies trying to spread fear and push an agenda. If cannabis was legal everywhere almost no one would care about these studies. However, cannabis is illegal in most places and there is a battle for opinions where groups are trying to spread FUD about how "weed is killing babies". It's fighting for people to have a rational stance and pushing for policies that don't imprison people over a substance on par with alcohol that brings out the defenders on any article like this.
