”The findings are based on a systematic review and meta-analysis of 54 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted worldwide over a 45 year period (1980-2025).”

This review seems dubious considering the huge gap in motivations and scientific rigor between 1980 and 2025.

That's classic with most cannabis studies. They sound like they started with a conclusion and then worked their way back fitting the data.

It would be easy, too. Find all studies on the subject, find correlations between some parameters and the results you want/don’t want, add those parameters in your inclusion/exclusion criteria.

Who even replicates review articles?
