I do not have a criminal record, nor do I use marijuana or alcohol daily. Sometimes not even weekly. Gainfully employed in the private sector. Weed would be my "drug" of choice over alcohol. I volunteer and sit on a couple boards. Never been drug tested at work although I have been lucky to stay with the same company for a long time.
Yes I find the topic very interesting when anything related to medical marijuana is released in publications of high report in the scientific community, whether it's positive or negative. So what exactly is the issue with that?
No worries, you didn't miss it, I didn't answer because the post got sidetracked really fast.
So how about you quote where the study was already dismantled with a rigorous scientific methodology?
I'm retired ; I don't teach any longer, I don't do research any longer; I don't review papers any longer; however I'll give you a partial anecdote in support of your paper:
Your "facts" sound more like someone's opinion to me. Perhaps politically influenced. General common sense would indicate alcohol is far worse than cannabis. Let's compare annual death totals, want to?
These aren't my facts, they are facts being espoused by UC Davis's funded research on the issue, the things about alcohol were directly copied from their article with a link to the original. I didn't write anything about it except for a paraphrase above the original paragraphs.
UC Davis didn't fund the research. The principle author merely works there now.
I understand they didn't fund the research. Their research was funded to take part in a cohort study of data culminated from multiple agencies and institutions.
Is this research for a story for said news agency? Are they affiliated with this study or any of its benefactors?
No, the newspaper I work for deals primarily with local electoral politics and some beltway issues that tie into my state's issues. I posted this article out of sheer personal interest, because I believe the article's headline to be completely misrepresenting the statistical data (the headline says it is more fiscally destructive than alcohol for you and inhibits social mobility towards users even though these effects seemed to only affect 15% of habitual users[whom they deem chronically dependent or smoking 4x or more a week]) I wouldn't really be able to gain anything good for a newspaper through a forum like this, I would have to be out actually interviewing people or conversing with them through email or phone
Ok can you choose one and get back to us.
Really bro? The part in the first quote you highlight indicates a possessive. The research, which was funded(by supporters like Jacobs Foundation), belonged to UC Davis/parties involved. My 2nd quote enforces that (Singlemalt understood it, why can't you?)
