💨 If everyone smoked weed, would the world be a better place?
Marijuana use is related to many bad outcomes including various addictions, low intelligence, externalizing behavior, lower incomes, and so on.
But a new preregistered large-scale analysis of 30 years of American twin data shows those relationships probably aren't causal:

The headlines: cannabis use is associated with higher risk of heart attack and stroke, study finds!!
The reality: cue *well actually* voice — based off twin studies, smoking weed doesn’t seem to cause any major damage over time 🤷♂️ does this mean you should smoke weed? No lol.
But as metrics analyst Crémieux writes, “it may not be the weed making people losers, it may just be that it's disproportionately losers who smoke weed.”
What a bar 😮💨
Sounds harsh, but studies that media outlets like CBS are quoting don’t seem to prove that smoking weed CAUSES negative effects, but just that it’s associated/correlated with adverse effects.
And a side-note, it looks like legalizing marijuana has no effect on reducing homicide, robbery, or assault rates either, in case you genuinely thought that smoking weed would make people chill out to THAT extent.
Thanks for taking the Pack,
Zach
