Try reading the article next time.
x-Cell@slrpnk.netto World News@lemmy.world•The Link between Cannabis and Psychosis in Teens Is RealEnglish378·24 days agoNo, they don’t “fail basic science”. They point out that there is a correlation and we need better studies, but the mere existence of the correlation is worrying, especially considering a lot of recent studies are confirming the link between cannabis and teen psychosis. A lot of the early studies on the harm of cigarettes started similarly. Correlation between lung cancer and smoking tobacco doesn’t imply causation, but it’s one hell of an alarm bell.
The author of the article themselves doesn’t say cannabis is a gateway drug and even recognizes that asking people to just not use it isn’t realistic.
I mean, it’s the same thing the IMF and World Bank did to fuck over a lot of poorer countries. While not an invasion, it is still pretty destructive.
