    Misleading headline by changing the tense of the verb. Headline implies current or future risk, but study does not. Correlation != causation.

    In the general population, people who used cannabis were around twice as likely to have committed a violent act as those who didn’t; for those in psychiatric care, cannabis users were around two and a half times as likely to be violent as other psychiatric patients who didn’t use cannabis.
