That "review" is #JunkScience. Immediately debunked by 8 of the world's top tobacco control researchers.

And the real world disagrees with that review. US lung cancer continues to drop despite MASSIVE product substitution among adults.

Teaser graphic titled “The Study That Pretends Cannabis Does Nothing,” filed under Fear Mongering. The top portion contains the headline and subtext stating that a new cannabis study claims marijuana does nothing for anxiety, depression, or PTSD, while the reality is more complicated. The lower image shows research papers labeled “Marijuana for Anxiety and PTSD” stamped “Does Nothing,” with notes reading “Inconclusive” and “No Benefit.” Cannabis leaves, pill bottles, scattered tablets, a stethoscope, and a pen surround the papers, alongside a glowing digital brain highlighting anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

Tomorrow at 10 AM. A new study claims cannabis does nothing for mental health. We tear this junk science apart. #PotCultureMagazine #CannabisCulture #JunkScience #420Community #Cannabis #Rebuttal #Study #MentalHealth #DrugWars #Propaganda #CannabisNews #FearMongering #Prohibition

A #study testing 13 #LLMs found that all can be used to commit #academicfraud or facilitate #junkscience. While some models, like Claude, were more resistant to fraudulent requests, others, like Grok and early GPT versions, performed poorly. The study highlights the need for developers to implement…

Teaser image for Pot Culture Magazine titled “Cannabis Study Sparks Fear Among the Uninformed” under the category Panic Science. The top section features a bold headline and subtext stating that survey correlations became a weed panic headline and questioning what the data cannot prove. The lower image shows a bulletin board with pinned documents labeled “Correlation” and “Causation” connected by a red string, with a blurred, distressed figure in the background. PotCultureMagazine.com | ©2025PotCultureMagazine/ArtDept appears at the bottom.

Tomorrow at 10 AM, did a McMaster cannabis study actually prove weed harms mental health, or are the headlines spinning the science? #PotCultureMagazine #Cannabis #CannabisStudy #JunkScience #FearMongering #420Community #Weed #CannabisNews #Study #CannabisCulture #MentalHealth

Mice should not vape. But mice are not tiny humans. We don't breath 230 times per minute. Our hearts don't beat 700 times/minute. We do not vape while terrorized in tiny cages. And we do not weigh 1.1 ounces (30 grams).

Also: We do not lick our own fur (much).

The field of tobacco control is now riddled with #JunkScience. Researchers have very strong incentives to set out from the start to find (or invent) harms.

In the United States, cannabis research suffered from the exact same problem back in the 20th century. That bias lasted 70 years...

Sadly, the field of tobacco control is riddled with #JunkScience studies that set out to find harms and ignore contradictory evidence and proper controls. It's a feature, not a bug. Here are some of the most common methodologies.
(I created this as a parody of what is actually happening)
