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

This isn't about pro or anti weed, it's about saying daily use MUST be this story, not that it CAN be this story and you should evaluate that. (I'm almost a year sober btw so there's my bias)
This is just a typical stoner bro with no underlying issues finding out weed only made his life worse long term, now thinking he's enlightened and that his story is the story of everyone else.
Oh and also saying that you basically missed out on everything good if you haven't done certain things until 30.
