Post #2 - September 9th, 2011, 12:53 pmInteresting. My guess is it is substituting one thing for another. they are getting satisfaction from something other than food. Not going to work for me as I much prefer food to anything that could be smoked. Hate smoking of any kind.
Here is a novel idea ......eat less exercise more.
I just lost 23 pounds by eating roughly half of what I used to eat. Now my appetite has shrunk as well as my stomach and I no longer crave sweets as I did. I have many more pounds to go.Toria

Post #3 - September 9th, 2011, 2:31 pmThe beauty and degree of information of correlational studies...
The relation was only true when controlling for age and sex. I wonder why they dont mention conclusions for their second model.We adjusted for sex and age in our first model and for sex, age, race/ethnicity, educational level, marital status, region of residence, and smoking status in our second model

Actually, it is the opposite. If you look at their Table 2, the relationship between obesity and cannabis use is only statistically significant when they don't control for anything. Once they control for these factors, the odds ratios are not statistically different. Strangely, they don't note this in the text.

That was exactly my point.
