Yeah, but it reduces the suicide risk 94%.
Always remember that 46.2% of statistics are made up on the spot.
@kibcol1049 i've read a bit about this, i'm gonna give a little rant here: meta studies are kinda dubious, as it often mixes studies with very different methodologies, sample sizes etc.
so in a 'global review of data' one has to account for many of the cannabis studies focusing on specific groups, like people who take cannabis for anxiety relief, or with pre-existing medical conditions -- so with that the data might already skew for populations that already have higher rates of heart disease etc. this is a classic corelation =/= causation issue, meta studies are terrible with this kind of thing because it's very difficult to *control* for anything.
Meta Studies can be useful, they may reveal things not caught by any individual study but it's no replacement for primary research
Shady groups with agendas who finance research to arrive at a pre-determined conclusion love doing such broad inconclusive studies and publishing the results before there's any follow up research
A meta-analyst supports your take on meta-studies. 🤔
