Mark,

Don't be part of the problem.

This study is an analysis of a publicly available dataset. You can use the data yourself and perform the analysis yourself based on the listed methods to verify the information.

This study merely presents one aspect of the health effects of cannabis overuse: the harms associated with surgery and cannabis use *disorder*. There are other beneficial aspects of cannabis that also need to be weighed and studied, such as potential benefits on anxiety, pain, and nausea.

Dismissing any evidence of the negative impacts of cannabis and accusing the study of bias is, ironically, quite a biased view to have.
