It’s starting to look like THC ( found in gummies, too ) causes vascular problems.

> researchers were unable to account for several potential confounding factors including the duration and amount of cannabis use or the use of tobacco or other drugs.

Personally I'd wager a bet it's the tobacco and/or smoking that is the harmful part, but it kind of dumbfounds me they failed to account for "details" like "duration and amount of cannabis use", that feels like a very vital thing to control for. Nothing is good for you in too great amounts, even water, so not taking that into account seems to not really give reliable and trustworthy results.

I’m annoyed by the bifurcated regulatory regime

Substances approved by the FDA are done based on specific treatments, with multiple trials and approval per use case

Substances declared scheduled are illegal by the substance itself, instead of per use case

paradoxically because there is no FDA approved use case and almost no way to get one

meaning that places in the US that diverge in legality and are ignored by the federal government have done so without any clinical trial, which would be some level of peer reviewed objective information by use case instead of the whole substance

we can’t even get a simple list of side effects, or a disclaimer about what kind of users shouldn’t use it

only anecdotes

that annoys me and it’s not just about weed

Would be nice to know how much of a role a sedentary lifestyle plays in it or if it puts everyone at risk regardless of other habits. Maybe this just means you need to do cardio several times a week to keep using THC.
