That’s my gripe with these studies as well. I just got done looking at the actual study and while the sample size was pretty big, I saw no mention of dosage (They mention dose as being how often, but not how much) or ingestion method. Considering they were using anonimized data from healthcare providers and weren’t working with actual people (Comparing those who use and don’t use based on ICD-10 codes), that info would be hard to actually get.
That said, I don’t think this is a bad study. The fact that people who used at all showed higher risks is something to be learned and I agree with their conclusion that the public should be more aware of the potential risks with cannabis use. It’s a good stepping stone on our way to better understanding the drug.
Edit: miss_demeanour commented that they found it states “smoking” specifically, but I do still worry that they may be grouping smoking, vaping bud, and vaping oil.
