I wonder how many diabetics this accounts for, of the total number of diabetics.

I'm diabetic. 25 year marijuana user, too. I weigh 115 lbs. I'm underweight even for my height. Family is all/mostly skinny, some diabetic some not. I'm the only regular marijuana user. So I don't get it. Probably because I'm hiiiigh (just kidding).

    None it is a dishonest study commissioned for the purpose of a negative headline. To start at it is bad and engineer a study to come to that conclusion.

    This is a well fleshed out industry. Just like the makers of toxic pesticides or pfas will do to justify their business.

    It is amazing people are not more wise to this by now. But look at our politicians, even our better politicians and I guess I should not be surprised. People still trust Authority. Everyone trusts the wrong people.

    There are some true aspects to what you're saying in the overall field of publishing, but the article doesn't read that way.

    Did you read it? What conflict of interest can you spot? What aspects of it (besides the clickbait title) sound like a commissioned study to you?
