I'm missing the part where the study talks about people dying from weed use. I see lots of "associated" but no "cause".

In general, chronic misuse of medication is associated with decline in health, physical and mental. Chronic misuse of Tylenol leads to liver failure. Chronic misuse of Ibuprophen leads to stomach bleeding. Chronic misuse of caffeine leads to a range of cardiovascular problems. Consuming too much caffeine in one sitting can kill you. What specific life threatening condition does chronic misuse of weed lead to?

Unlike literally every other recreational or medical drug known to man, you can consume as much as you want and not die. Meanwhile if we sat down and tried to get through a flat of cigarettes we'd end up in the hospital from nicotine poisoning.

That study is pointless. If you drive a car, you engage in a behavior and lifestyle that kills more people than all of the weed in California. If you ride a bike on a street you're doing something that will get you injured or killed faster than smoking blunts every night for the rest of your life.

Perspective.
