Is there any doubt that alcohol, or sugar for that matter, makes far more people (teens especially) sick than cannabis?
In fact, cannabis is an excellent treatment for alcohol hangovers.

Maybe they should think to mention the millions of people on cannabis prescriptions who have had massive benefits.
Both can be (and almost certainly are) true at the same time.
Articles like this which only focus on negatives of cannabis help perpetuate the even greater harms of cannabis prohibition.

Knee-jerking against articles like this is perpetuate harm by keeping people in the dark about the very real drawbacks of the drug. You can't make an informed decision about using it without actually know the pros and cons.
Tell that to the people who continue to be put in prison every day for a plant that is far less harmful than sugar and alcohol

Even worse than that, you can't make an informed decision about cannabis when the government, scientists, and the media have been lying to everyone for decades, implicitly and explicitly, in telling them that cannabis is more harmful, addictive, and sickening than sugar and alcohol.
Correcting those lies and adding relative comparative context is not "knee-jerking", its promoting science which can save lives.
Why does that upset you so greatly? I'm not saying people shouldnt be informed about how/how not to use cannabis
