      Yeah I think THAT is the cause more than the weed.

    Yeah, this feels like correlation vs. causation. I don’t doubt the figures, though.

    Now add poverty as a variable and see if it’s a confounding factor.

    Poor people hardly ever die on luxury yatchs. Going barefoot is associated with a greater potential for foot injuries. Reading on a screen more is associated with eye strain.

    Anyone can make up these claims, it doesn’t make them medically causal facts, and the people involved in this paper should be embarrassed and suffer some loss of credibility.

    Authors who use behavioral correlations as the basis of their studies are more likely to lose credibility.

    This study truly is an association. It measures US and UK adults. You literally should take this at face value. However face value is just what’s in the headline.

    When you smoke out, you really want a sugar and carb rush.
