[–] liontigerwings@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) You're missing the point. Addiction isn't the only issue. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28115737/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30758486/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35184002/ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pjhenry1216@kbin.social 2 points 3 years ago* Literally none of those document cannabis causing anything. Correlation does not imply causation. Depressed people do drugs more often. Doesn't mean drugs make people depressed. Plus, none of that is the point of this article. Sure if you want to argue something else that's superficially related? But I don't even know what your arguing anymore. Are you arguing for government regulation because it has documented effects that still aren't worse than other legal products? What? Are you arguing something might be bad if not done in moderation? Shocking. What this whole post is about is if marijuana is addictive. You're. Missing. The. Point. Edit: two of them were clearly meta studies, maybe all three. That literally doesn't take into account the person at all which we're arguing is more the cause of issues than the drug itself. permalink fedilink source parent
