Not sure which country you have in mind but I am very sure (first hand) that those countries where cannabis consumption is legal are not those with a thriving population of "pot smokers". There, it is mostly tourists that consume weed, and tourists would make a lousy basis for a scientific study (hard to recruit them in advance and track their addiction).
So the feasibility of a study is not so clear, even in places where legality is not an issue.
- Ygg2 13y agoSo? You can't pay people to take pot and take regular exams in such countries? That's what studies are for, no? Besides I'm pretty sure there must be some 'native' pot smokers. Not many, but surely there must be a few people, even if majority are tourist. Gather enough studies in a meta study and you'll get enough of a sample.
- jasomill 13y agoSure, but you still need funding, and the only people with a vested interest in marijuana studies are legalization advocates, and marijuana legalization isn't nearly as well-funded a cause as "anti-tobacco".
