These States Legalized Weed. More Heart Attacks Followed
These States Legalized Weed. More Heart Attacks Followed
This research is still observational, meaning it can only demonstrate a correlation between cannabis legalization and rising hospital visits from cardiovascular disease, not a clear cause-and-effect relationship. The data used in the study also isn’t specific enough to compare individual states to one another.
Have you ever eaten a 100mg edible? I could see that causing a heart attack out of pure fear and paranoia if you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into. I’ve also made my own scientific observation on the correlation between cannabis use and the likelihood that my caloric intake at a McDonalds or Burger King will surpass five figures, through a proprietary blend of grease and dietary carcinogens.

Yes it is - and yet great as it is - and flexible as it is - it does teach us that everything has a place and that there is a place for everything … which I am not sure is a good lesson.
It has a sense that ‘all’ is preordained.
I’d just finished building a dashboard that does what I want. Then I read this.
She is not wrong, but continue I will;
- learning a lot
and what I built
- reveals where best to focus, because it is based on what I want - not what I have.
Some things just aren’t being captured.
Onto phase two.

- it is a good movie
- it is an iconic line that gets left off lists (get to the end).
