    The study used insurance data to look at the association of cannabis use disorder with head and neck cancers

    It’s not like the asked all these people in a custom designed study, and intentionally left out the consumption method. The study isn’t “making it sound” like anything, they’re pointing at a statistic.

      intentionally left out the consumption method.

      So, since they admit most the participants smoke it, they’re not studying the impact of “marijuana use” they’re studying the impact of “smoking marijuana”.

        You just said the part where he talks about smoking isn’t in the study, now you want to use it?

        Yes, he literally admits it’s likely mostly the impact of “smoking marijuana”, because that’s what most people that fit the “canabis disorder” description seemingly do. Sadly, the study doesn’t have the data if they smoke it or ate it, because it’s insurance data not medical data. It would be more disingenuous to make the claim this is studying smokers. Any sane person reading this data isn’t trying to draw conclusions that aren’t there.
