I recall that NPR had the "Weed is actually bad" book guy on and was pretty much letting him say whatever unchallenged. No opposing viewpoint guest, a bunch of softball questions, and no pushback in general.
This guy totally gave off vibes of using this kernel of truth, these studies on THC in developing brains, and wrapping it in a bunch of FUD to sell his personal brand and books. Oh, and his wife is the scientist not him..
Honestly it felt like a paid advertising spot or a bit of propaganda. At the time I was wondering about the latter because it seemed that NPR had somehow taken a stance AGAINST legalization around the time all that activity was occurring a couple years ago.
