Study Finds 79% of Americans Believe Marijuana is As Safe or Safer Than Tobacco - lemm.ee

“More than one-third of participants felt that daily smoking of cannabis was safer than tobacco, and their views increasingly favored safety of cannabis vs tobacco over time (1742 participants [36.7%] in 2017 vs 2107 participants [44.3%] in 2021; P < .001)”

Not that I have anything against Marijuana, but I’d prefer a study or something like “79% of researchers in the field believe…” , because if we go with what majority thinks on scientific topics , we are going to have a bad time.

That’s fair. Agreed, I’d love to see that stat. For me, tracking public perception over time is helpful in its own way. For example: Anticipating voting trends and legislation.

Yep, you poll citizens when you want to know if something is politically popular.
