Who “we”? Not me. You seem to have tried to critique a fascist (‘government’) group of armed robbers, extorters, homiciders and genociders. Your critique would probably have more effect if you stopped supporting legitimacy of use of force of theirs by counting your name as part of that (‘government’ ) organization with the first person plural “we”. THEY are fascists. THEY barely have managed scrounging a flimsy 19% of votes of the 330 000 000 residents of the so-callled U.S.A lands they have been occupying with surveillance, guns and bombs. THEY have addresses in the so-called U.S.A., on stolen indigenous tribal lands etc. THEY have been comitting genocide and have not stopped yet. THEY have real bank accounts with real addresses with specific amounts owing to tens of millions of victims per year so far.

who “we” ? You probably meant their own monopolist media lies about them. Those are servile servants of a few genocidal feudalist monopolists with real names, addresses, and private property on grounds nearby and bank accounts hidden behind a few layers of fraudulent abstraction accounts in places of the like of Panama and Luxembourg. With a wave of privatization of collective-use property (a.k.a. rich elite robbing low and middle revenue classes) from the 1970’s ‘neo-liberal’ doctrine monsters (e.g. Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, etc.), in the 2020’s now almost every industry market has an infection of 3-4 corporations owning more than half of the market share, in some cases up to 90%. This problem is known to have happened 3 times so far in recorded history of income and wealth distribution, and every iteration yielded an approximately very similar result: (1) the French Revolution of 1789 from a society where approximately 3% of the population (mostly aristocrats and clergy) owned most of the wealth of France, (2) World War I, from a society where, in most European countries, up to 90% wealth was under gunpoint-based ownership of as few as 10% of the population, and (3) World War II from a society with a distribution of income and wealth similar as that of the development of WWI, where in many European countries, the richest 10% owned up to approximately 90% of national income and wealth. Every iteration where income and wealth distribution became so inequitable and unequal, inequality came back down to normal levels by war. For example, in French society of the early 1900s, a lawyer or a doctor fresh out of studies would earn approximately 12x LESS THAN AN INHERITOR of one of the top 10% wealth family estates doing VACATIONING ALL YEAR LONG, collecting interest on capital ownership, i.e. from having a name on a paper. ALTERNATIVELY, societies and countries with more livable and defendable REGULATION of excesses of capitalist feudalism, i.e. social democracy societies and countries, have had much smoother, respectable, defendable, and remarkable trajectories. (Reference: Thomas Piketty, 2013, “Le Capital au 21e siecle” (“Capital in the 21st Century))

Fascists have been robbing people at gunpoint in their own homes with approval from a serial killing billionaire monopolist state and that article talks about pseudoscience, non-verifiable, self-report based terms like feelings of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Facts have shown that POVERTY causes anxiety, depression, and PTSD. POLICE STATE ARMED ROBBERIES CAUSE ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, AND PTSD. They’re more likely to happen to people on the antagonist side of the MERCK, PFIZER, GSK MONOPOLY DRUG CARTEL. That is a fact about cannabis possession, cultivation, usage, and sale. Another relevant fact about this study would be the shadow network of BIG PHARMA serial killers with residence addresses somewhere near readers of that article and bank accounts in 0-tax jurisdictions of the likes of Panama, Luxembourg, etc. that funded putting that pile of feces into a format that looks like a scientific article. In the meantime, those unethical bastards have been selling drugs of the likes of opioids, benzodiazepines, etc. from inside hospitals near the readers of that article, drugs that have killed tens of thousands if not millions of humans per year.

P.S. That article totally omits to even acknowledge the variety of types of cannabis with widely different molecular composition profiles.

P.P.S. That article also omits to acknowledge that fact that research on cannabis consumption therapy has been happening outside the fascist states of the american-european colonial (and racist) empire and their ‘universities’ (sites of propaganda) because of a little thing called a decades-long illegal criminalization of the non-violent behavior of personal choice of consumption of a plant flower with numerous therapy applications growable with a small budget in approximately any house.

With some of the worst education systems of all, they probably don’t think much at all. Recently (a few days or weeks ago), Florida made teaching university sociology a crime. They promised them big easy pay and ‘thanked’ them ‘for their ‘service’’, then turned around and cut veterans’ pay (and benefits) like Milton Friedman cut school budgets into his personal pockets. Not surprisingly, their economy has a (opioid-style of) dependency of burying itself in campaigns of more debt of unsolicited military aggression, expropriative extraction of land, minerals, gunpoint-based cheap labor, and snake oil artificial ‘intelligence’ (i.e. statistical inference software), like a cancerous body turning on itself. However, like Milton Friedman’s accomplices Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher refused to acknowledge, There are many alternatives! (like putting words on internet forums in the name of a pseudonym for high-quality free paid education work (because studying is work, and work is to be paid in a society that respects itself, some ‘more normal’ countries actually pay their students to study (e.g. Denmark, etc.))

a budget indebted of chinese, arab, russian, etc. holders of U.S. dollars and assets? have you tried to wake up a little?

who “we”? the chicago-school-‘economics’-colonial-genocidal-necropolist-cannibalist-armed-robbery-capital-extraction-irraelist propaganda machine? not me
