As opposed to data? What data? Imagine how hard this is to study:

- can we identify groups who regularly use and don’t use - and isolate other lifestyle factors - and follow them for years of the life - and get them to accurately report data - and determine which life outcomes can be attributed to cannabis use

No study like that is going to be compelling. The anecdote is going to be just as useful in your personal life. It’s how humans learn.

Sure, I very much agree. My anecdotes contradict the previous anecdotes.

Is it QED? No, the best that can be hoped for is, "Hmm, that's interesting".
