He was very interested in this issue and could debate the virtues of MJ use with anybody here.

And then he died. Do you know how? Was it a heart attack or a stroke?

And what did you conclude from that?

The article had the usual (for cannabis) flaws. Because cannabis is classified as a schedule 1 drug it has been very difficult if not impossible for any major studies. Most evidence appears to be antidotal.

FTA: The study had several limitations, including that cardiovascular conditions and cannabis use were self-reported, making them potentially subject to recall bias (potential errors in memory); that the authors did not have health data measuring participants' baseline lipid profile or blood pressure; and the study captured data for only a single point in time for the participants.

So basically we are in the same place we were before this study.

We need more studies.

FTA: The authors note that there is a need for prospective cohort studies " studies that follow groups of individuals over time " to examine the association of cannabis use and cardiovascular outcomes while accounting for frequency of cannabis use.

I was gonna do some more studies myself.

Then I got high.

500 deaths/day?????

Not even close. Depending on how you measure 1 death per year from toxicity or 350 per year for just detections of it in your blood (but not the direct cause).

From 1998 to 2011, on average 7% of all cases reported to NPSAD had a cannabinoid detected (n = 110 deaths per year), rising to 18% in 2020 (n = 350). Death following cannabis use alone was rare (4% of cases, n = 136/3455). Traumatic injury was the prevalent underlying cause in these cases (62%, n = 84/136), with cannabis toxicity cited in a single case.

"cannabis has a significant association with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke"

Based on another flawed survey as I clearly pointed out.

But, hey, it's sounds truthy so you go ahead and run with that like a good maga maroon do.

Maybe reschedule it as less dangerous as alcohol cigarettes and heroin and do a real scientific study and then get back to us.

But I won't hold my breath (unless I take a hit of some good old Jack Herer!).

And then he died.

How do you know Nulli is dead? I never heard this. Was there a notification?

Rcade told us. Like he told us about zatoichi's extinction, err, passing.

I can't remember if he told us how.

Was hoping someone else might remember that.

I'm pretty sure Boaz reported it , about 3 or 4 years ago.

Thanks. I thought it had come from Rcade. But yes it's been about 3-4 years. I was shocked by it then too. But now I realize it can happen to anyone anytime no matter which path you choose ... death is as close as your skin. We just try not to think about it all the time. And sometimes cannabis really helps with that!

But it's true that life is much more intense when you remember death is just a breath away.

Momento Mori.
