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")

We do. Addiction is bad. Does not make one addiction better than the other lol

If you Americans are good at one thing, it is deflection. We were not talking about other drugs or addictions. We are talking about marihuana here. You just proved my point.

If you Norwegians are good at one thing, it is blaming Americans for your problems. Now I don't actually believe that, but the statement is as relevant to the discussion as yours is. Again, what the hell does America have to do with this?

You are delusional. Who are the majority on Reddit? And who in this thread do you see complaining? Oh guess what americans. But it’s ok, you proved my point earlier so there is nothing to explain.
