The New York Times asserts 9% of men have cannabis use disorder, a stat amplified by prohibitionist groups. But let's unpack what that actually means: A new study found that among daily users, over 30% didn't meet the criteria for CUD at all. 45% met "mild" criteria, which is 2/11 criteria on a diagnostic test. Only 3% suffered severe CUD, which is what "addiction" typically refers too.

I'm blocked by both SAM and Kevin himself, but here's what I would say if I could respond to the personal insults their team continues to levy at me. Media coverage is supposed to be rigorous, exhaustive, and scrutinizing. Especially when organizations pour millions of out-of-state money, without disclosing donors, into campaigns that deliberately mislead voters and attempt to overturn the will of the people. Also, nowhere in Kevin's tweet did he say that — and it's a core component of the study, right in the abstract. If Kevin would like to talk about education, why don't we discuss how his Phd in qualitative social policy has next to nothing to do with interpreting statistical evidence in these papers. Maybe that's why they get things so wrong?
