Cannabis Users Nearly 4X More Likely to Develop Diabetes, Massive Study Finds
A groundbreaking study just presented at the 2025 European Association for the Study of Diabetes is raising serious red flags about cannabis and metabolic health.
Researchers analyzed data from over 4 million adults and discovered that cannabis users were nearly four times more likely to develop diabetes than non-users.
The numbers are striking: 2.2% of cannabis users developed diabetes compared to just 0.6% of people who didn't use cannabis. Even after researchers adjusted for other risk factors like weight, diet, and lifestyle, the connection remained strong.
This suggests cannabis itself may be triggering metabolic changes that increase diabetes risk, not just correlating with other unhealthy behaviors.
Scientists aren't completely sure why this happens yet, but they suspect cannabis affects how the body processes glucose and insulin the hormones that regulate blood sugar. Regular cannabis use might be disrupting normal metabolic function in ways we're only beginning to understand.
With diabetes rates already climbing globally and cannabis legalization expanding, this research highlights a potential public health concern that hasn't gotten enough attention. Many people assume cannabis is relatively harmless, especially compared to alcohol or to***co, but this study suggests it may carry serious long-term metabolic risks.
If you're a regular cannabis user, especially if diabetes runs in your family, this is information worth discussing with your doctor.

Born into the sea and raised by it, the Bajau people of Indonesia are often described as one of the world’s last true sea-dwelling communities. From early childhood, they grow up on the water, spending their lives aboard small wooden boats or stilted houses anchored near the coasts of Sulawesi. For generations, the ocean has been their home, their livelihood, and their primary source of food, leaving many Bajau deeply uncomfortable on land, which they visit only when absolutely necessary.

Renowned for their extraordinary free-diving abilities, the Bajau can dive to remarkable depths and remain underwater for several minutes without breathing equipment, earning them the nickname “the sea nomads” or “mermaids of the ocean.” They hunt fish using traditional spears, relying on intimate knowledge of tides, reefs, and marine life passed down through generations. Many prefer to eat, rest, and sleep on their boats rather than on solid ground, maintaining a lifestyle that is almost entirely ocean-based. Their unique relationship with the sea reflects a way of life shaped by adaptation, resilience, and a profound dependence on the waters surrounding Indonesia’s vast archipelago.

Studies find that a woman’s voice can literally stimulate the vagus nerve of a man, slowing his heart rate and calming anxiety.

The vagus nerve, a key component of the autonomic nervous system, plays a significant role in regulating heart rate and promotes a state of calm and social engagement.

Vocalization, including speaking, humming, and singing can stimulate the vague nerve, leading to a relaxation response.

The rhythm, intonation, and tone (prosody) of a voice can communicate safety or threat and a soothing, melodic female voice can signal safety and activate the ventral vagal branch of the parasympathetic system, which promotes social connection and calmness.

Also, female voices are inherently perceived as trustworthy, familiar and embraced, which can contribute to a sense of security and reduce anxiety, leading to a lower heart rate.

One study even found that female voices are processed in the same part of the brain that processes music, which plats a part in their calming and soothing qualities.

The tone of a woman’s voice can also convey emotions and intent. A gentle and warm tone can promote a sense of connection and comfort, leading to a relaxed physiological state.
