The Washington Post told readers that people with greater lifetime cannabis exposure slept less. But a Northwestern study found no significant link between cumulative use and shorter sleep, while recent users averaged nearly 20 minutes more. Pot Culture Magazine examines the missing context, seven-day sleep monitoring, conflicting scientific reviews, and the newspaper's unanswered fact-checking questions.
Cannabis hyperemesis syndrome is real, but the latest “scromiting” panic outruns the CDC data behind it.
