> The authors note that more research is needed on the long-term endocrine effects of cannabis use and whether diabetes risks are limited to inhaled products or other forms of cannabis such as edibles.

This study did not differentiate between edibles, which are loaded with sugar, and inhaled cannabis usage. And, since they are not a food product, edibles do not carry the same onus as food for labeling, nor similar regulatory oversight.

This seems a significant flaw in the data gathering and could change the ultimate conclusion of the study.

Edibles wouldn't have enough sugar to singularly cause diabetes.

Thats ridiculous, 50 calories worth of edible is enough to get you high as balls for like 8 hours.

Tell me youre not a edible user without twlling me youre not an edible user

Not all edibles have sugar, but most seem to be pure candy. It's dangerous too because if the edible tastes so amazing you want to eat another one and then you get way too high. That's why when I used to make "magic brownies" I would make two batches, one of them "plain", so I could eat those after eating the magic one.

Level Protabs are pretty amazing, so clean and zero sugar. It's literally just THC and a little bit of corn starch pressed into a pill. I break them in half and it gives me a focused creativity boost.

Is it really possible to get diabetes from eating one piece of candy every day?

When you frame it that way, it almost brings the study's findings into question!

I wonder if it was truly a flaw or if it was a calculated omission.
