    Ok so people watch less than half of the video and then form strong opinions on it.

    It’s definitely not a “holier than thou” diatribe

      I watched the whole thing, it definitely is.

      That video is constantly making “is causing” type statements, but I haven’t found a single one of their cited studies that claims a causal link every single one I looked at is just “is associated with” claims.

      Their own sources even directly contradict what they’re saying in some of them.

      They say:

      Weed can damage your ability to regulate your emotions and can worsen anxiety or depressive feelings and can escalate into serious mental disorders.

      Their source says:

      Conclusion: The association between cannabis and anxiety is best explained by anxiety predisposing individuals toward CU as a method of self-medication. A causal relationship in which CU causes AD incidence is less likely despite multiple longitudinal studies suggesting so.”

        Good points thanks.

        I haven’t looked at it like this, I’ll look into it more and see how valid anything is they are saying
