      I've written about this before - the evidence for cannabis as a treatment for chronic pain is at best pretty mixed https://medium.com/swlh/medicinal-marijuana-is-no-panacea-a0c6e91e956e … https://twitter.com/liammannix/status/1374207831805632514 …

      But we can agree smoking weed turns you into a serial killer, right? A former journalist who is never wrong told me that.

      Lol. I think there's a strong argument for legalizing cannabis recreationally, but that's not really relevant when discussing whether it works for chronic pain

      I think part of the problem is that a lot of people who are pro-legalization for recreational use have seized on the scant evidence for medical benefits as a path to achieve it

          YEP. Seeing the same with MMA for shrooms, albeit to a lesser extent.

          Imagine how a complex topic gets reduced to extremely binary arguments/outcomes. Maybe you’ll get more traction if you insist on being more “Bayesian” in your thinking.

          Yep. But there's bad faith on all sides. Some of the pain soc meta analyses are basically hit pieces.
