- chmaynard 4y agoPosting articles about a single study are not generally helpful to the lay public. Lay readers get no context, no background on the researchers, no discussion about the significance of the topic. The study might be retracted or the conclusion disproved and we would never be the wiser.

While your points are well-founded, at the same time they do not imply research in a new previously unpublished field is insignificant or should not be discussed, especially when about a widespread phenomenon or behavior. I feel your warning is more of a disclaimer than a rebuttal? Being first published June 27, 2022, this paper is new, and has not yet been peer reviewed or even cited. It only tracks a total of 35,114 Ontario participants aged 12–65 years over a 6-year period, with some 41 references.

- quantified 4y agoConsidering that emergency care and hospitalization aren't that common, and cannabis brings a number of reliefs and joys, some of us will gladly make that trade. Smoke cannabis from a joint every day, sure your lungs and systems will need extra care.
