I recently read “retroactive study” involving more than 50,000 cannabis users concluded that there is little evidence
between cannabis consumption and cardiovascular diseases (https://cannabis.net/blog/medical/7-facts-about-cannabis-
and-heart-health) – contradicting other studies.
The study was conducted using the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) database. The participants
completed a questionnaire the use of tobacco, alcohol and depression were also considered as variables. The Odds
ratios and 95% con dence intervals were calculated.
“A total of 56,742 subjects were included in the analysis. The unadjusted bivariate analysis showed a reduced prevalence of
cardiovascular disease in individuals using marijuana (OR 0.65, 95%CI [0.50-0.84]). After adjustment with all additional
variables, an adjusted model showed a similar odds ratio, but statistical signi cance of the association was lost (OR 0.74,
95%CI [0.54-1.01]).” - SOURCE (https://www.cureus.com/articles/45502-association-between-marijuana-use-and-
cardiovascular-disease-in-us-adults)
The research team concluded;

“Although previous literature has shown that marijuana use has a negative impact on cardiovascular health, our study
suggests that users and non-users of marijuana did not have an association with the prevalence of cardiovascular disease.
Varying levels of support within the literature highlights the need for further research of this association.”
Why this discovery is important
For decades, we have been told about the “negative impacts of smoking marijuana” from government organizations.
Organizations such as Smart Approaches to Marijuana [SAM] have been touting this type of information as “evidence”
over the dangers of cannabis.
However – with the recent ndings about Cannabis acting as a possible deterrent to ARDS (Acute Respiratory Disease
Syndrome) and this meta-analysis – the evidence to support these claims are being brought into question.

The question we should be asking is, “How many laws were forged under erroneous data produced by obviously biased
research?” How many people lost their liberty due to these laws?
Bias in the research?
If you weren’t fully aware of the “state of things”- over the past twenty-plus-years; the U.S government has been
primarily funding “anti-cannabis research” which places cannabis within the framing of a pathological action. In other
words – it’s got a negative bias against use which have seen a disproportionate amount of studies funded for the sole
reason of nding – “Why cannabis is bad for you.” - Source (https://www.civilized.life/articles/scientists-say-marijuana-
research-has-an-anti-cannabis-bias/)
As you can imagine, when you are attempting to do research – negatively framing the topic of the research will have an
impact on your conclusions – irrespective of the methodology used.
It’s not the same to gure out “the e ects of cannabis on the individual” as opposed to “How cannabis makes you less
healthy”. While both might be looking for the “e ects” one idea is predominantly viewing cannabis within this negative
framing.
This has helped shape the cannabis laws that has led to the arrest of nearly 20,000,000 since the inception of the drug
war. Similarly, research relating to LSD, Psilocybin and the likes have all been painted with this “negative broad brush”.
Recently, scientists found that psilocybin-assisted therapy was 4x more e ective
(https://cannabis.net/blog/medical/psilocybinassisted-therapy-may-be-4x-more-e ective-in-treating-major-depression-
in-patients) in treating depression than “conventional methods” as reported here on Cannabis.net.
They ask for science – they give us this?
When you ask lawmakers about legalizing cannabis many of them will tell you, “We need more research!” This is
because there is major dissonance between the government-funded studies and the practical results from cannabis
users.

Currently – there is signi cant “mistrust” in the government – even when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines. Could it be
because of this negative framing that people are simply not willing to trust the government on these kinds of things?
Could it be that the Drug war didn’t only erode public safety, made drugs more available for young people to get their
hands on due to the lack of regulation on the black market; and erode trust in the police, the scienti c community being
paid by the government – and the politicians themselves?
It seems that this policy that was meant to be used as a weapon against dissent simply stoked the res some more.
Could decades of misdirection and at out lies have helped create the political environment the U.S is currently facing?
Perhaps – perhaps not. But it certainly is a slap in the face of legitimate science when there is a strong bias against a
thing. Science is supposed to be impartial – to look solely at the facts yet with these Meta Analyses, we can see that this
is not always the case.
Did this article make you question the validity of the studies we tend to love to quote to win arguments? Good! That was
the point. I’m not saying hide away from studies and bury your head into the ground. Rather, actually sit down and try
to understand the studies you read – whether both for and against your particular subject of interest.
In a world governed by half-truths and blurred reality via Social Media – it is important to become a critical thinker. In
fact, thinking for yourself these days is damn-near revolutionary!

Cannabis Doesn’t Cause Changes In Brain Structure Says 2 New Studies
However, it doesn’t make sense nor is it fair to put all the blame to cannabis. There are also other factors at play such as a predisposition to use harder drugs,
existing problem behavior, emotional problems, and peer pressure, all of which can contribute to undesirable life outcomes such as higher risk for dropping out of
school, welfare dependence, and unemployment.
