Our academics and scientists are morons now.

This was obvious to anyone who bothers to think.

“Startling”? Not rocket science.
So simple, even the CDC could figure it out.

All it takes is one toke over the line of safety to burn your lungs.

It would be interesting if some prankster reported a link between social marijuana use and Climate Change. A debate between Greta Thunberg and a stoner would be fun to watch. Heck, I’d pay to see that.

I don’t think it would be tough to find such a link. The Climate Change fascists make up data all the time. So what’s one more fake study?

Missing from the article is the possible link to childhood vaccinations, which we know affects autism in kids.

We have a special election in 2 weeks for rec weed but I’m too relaxed from my med weed to go vote. Seriously - I don’t want our current system messed up by this so I doubt I will support it

So they finally figured marijuana is harmful.
The only surprising thing here is that anyone finds it surprising.

If there’s kids in the house I recommend the New England Program: If yer gonna smoke, take it out on the back stoop.

Former colleague of mine actually quit cigs that way; out there at 10pm in Boston, 5 below and so gusty he couldn’t get the damned thing lit. Suddenly he’s asking himself, “Da HELL am I doing THIS for, anyway?” And that was the end of it; just — cold turkey.

Hmmm. I wonder why they are suggesting that breathing smoke has anything to do with asthma.

This is utter crap.

Did the incidence of childhood asthma decline as adult cigarette smoking declined?

What about the spike in vaping? Could THAT be the cause?

What about wearing a frickin' mask for the past 3 years?

Sure...adults firing up a doobie prolly is a contributing factor. But correlation doesn't mean causality.

This is an attempt to garner support from daft conservatives for an end-run around Parental rights.

A fifty year plus attack on tobacco and they turn around and legalize marijuana......It just don't make no sense.

FWIW, the way pot is inhaled and kept in the lungs, it's far, far worse than tobacco.

Another study reports cannabis contributes to heart disease by
helping fatty buildup from cholesterol in blood vessels.

Munchies can kill.
