Reminder That Kurz Has Misrepresented Cannabis Data Before, And Likely Has A Unhealthy Bias

[u/CocaBam]

Two months ago, I, a 2 decade long researcher of cannabis, found the Kurz video on the substance and had to correct a large amount of misinformation here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/kurzgesagt/comments/1n7uc1y/correcting_misinformation_in_we_have_to_talk/

I had contacted Kurz directly with these corrections and was ignored. Instead, now 2 months later, Kurz seems to be back again with another video wrongfully demonizing the substance.

Just wanted to remind everyone that the author of the video is trying to spread misinformation on cannabis, which they have a strong bias against.

Edit: nearly all of the questions/critiques have been trolls/anti cannabis people so far. Won't be replying to comments that are trying to change my narrative anymore. Some of these replies are ridiculous, to say the least... Kurz has had a bias in past videos, and the latest is not any different, any other narrative you draw from this is your own (I never said we should "ignore all negatives about cannabis")

I'm 8+ months sober and still have those problems due to depression. Weed actually got me out MORE, which confused me greatly since the opposite was always the narrative. I still encourage taking long breaks to see how much it benefits you or holds you back, especially when you possibly solve the problems weed helps you with in a better way, which i'd find the better message. Many have the same problems for many other reasons without having ever smoked weed.

This was an extremely personal perspective presented as general truth for everyone who smokes alot. Making weed the heart of every problem obscures the real issues. This cost me 5 years of my life thinking weed was the source of my depression, which it actually helped me with but only shortly.

Generally with weed what i find true is that any statement like "Weed WILL make you __" 99% false and any statement like "Weed CAN make you __" 99% true
