And might I ask who is funding this study and how are they being paid for by big pharma?
Declaration of interests
WH and MG have received consultation fees from WHO. WH has received payment for expert testimony on the risks of cannabis use. MG is an appropriate member of the Medicinal Cannabis Expert Working Group, Australian Department of Health, Ageing and Disability. MG has received funding from the Therapeutic Goods Administration for independent evidence reviews on medicinal cannabis. All other authors declare no competing interests.
Acknowledgments
JW and ES are supported by a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) investigator grant awarded to ES (GNT2017346). MG is supported by a NHMRC Postgraduate Scholarship (GNT2030765) and Monash Graduate Research Excellence Scholarship. JL, MT, and GC are supported by NHMRC investigator grants. TPF was funded by a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship (MR/Y017560/1).
That trail will be well hidden.
I have no doubt about them funding this, not that it will be traceable in any way. They're not that dumb
Plenty of Big Pharma money in producing and distributing cannibas in various forms. We've seen thousands of patents filed since legalization began in earnest in 2015
The author of the study addresses it. He mentions that a lot of studies fail to disclose funding or have a risk of bias based on funding.
