None of those things really matter. It's crazy that we're invoking the racism boogeyman on this topic for instance. This is an article about a contemporary study. At the end of the day there are only a couple of things here that matter.

1) Understanding the full impact marijuana use in its various forms has on one's health.

2) Deriving that understanding 100% from high quality evidence, because that is the only way we can form an accurate opinion.

3) There is no 3).

We don't figure out the right dose by wringing our hands over bad policy decisions in the 1930s. Or over anything else, really, if that thing isn't good medical evidence.

The problem with this pro-MJ bro brigade online is when any evidence which comes up that's even remotely critical of marijuana usage, they pile on and ruin the signal to noise ratio of the discussion. These guys are losers who detract from the goal of being dispassionate and objective and understanding how to be healthy. I mean I've been pro legalization my entire life, I'm cautiously pro both recreational and medicinal usage, but I hate these guys because they're clearly not interested in talking about evidence and being healthy, they're interested in justifying their habit to other people.
