lionelholt | 2 years ago | on: Heavy marijuana use increases schizophrenia in men, study finds

Bloomberg's headline very different vs the actual conclusion of the study: "Young males might be particularly susceptible to the effects of cannabis on schizophrenia. At a population level, assuming causality, one-fifth of cases of schizophrenia among young males might be prevented by averting CUD. Results highlight the importance of early detection and treatment of CUD and policy decisions regarding cannabis use and access, particularly for 16–25-year-olds."

Did you contact System 76 support? In my experience they've been fantastic.

For perspective, take a look at the population history chart:

We are far from the point of all humans living comfortably given the planet's limited resources. Human overpopulation is the primary reason why we have the tyranny of resource wars (the U.S. -- not Russia -- being the worst offender of petrodollar hegemony), scarce water supplies, pandemics, economic meltdowns, etc.

Of course there are other factors, inefficiencies, waste, etc, but imagine if the global population was 1% of what it is currently. None of those other factors would matter.
