A worrying study published by Green Bay University concluded that weed users are at least “100 times more likely to smoke drugs” than non-users.
“What’s most concerning about these findings is seeing that other studies come to almost identical conclusions,” said the head Green Bay researcher, Horatio Potter.
Green Bay’s study is just one among a wave of studies that all report similar findings. One study from Case Western Reserve University found that weed users may actually be “150 times more likely to smoke drugs,” and the most dangerous finding, from USC, found that weed users are upwards of “275 times more likely to smoke drugs.”
“With these shocking results, the most important takeaway is that there may be a link between using weed and smoking drugs,” Potter said. “However, for whatever reason, this relationship does not exist nationwide.”
Potter’s testimony touches on the largest critique of his study: that the relationship between using weed and smoking illicit drugs is substantially weaker in states that have legalized marijuana.
At press time, Potter claimed his team would require more funding before they could investigate this in a new study.
