“I’m certain that scientific research is a topic that you know nothing about.”
Nice personal attack. That’ll bring people to your side lol.
Dismissing scientific research as a "fallacy" shows that you know and understand nothing about the scientific process. Thus, pointing that fact out is not a "personal attack" but an observation.
BTW, you can get an idea of the scientific research in the field yourself by using the medical research database: www.pubmed.gov. You can search the database yourself using any search term you want, and the results contain citations and abstracts from the medical literature, often with links to the original research articles.
But I know you don't want to know the current status of research into the effects of marijuana use. People who are addicted to substances typically display a high level of denial about the harmful effects of those substances.
Don’t like cigarettes? Don’t smoke them.
Don’t like beer or whiskey? Don’t drink it.
Don’t like unhealthy foods? Don’t eat them.
Don’t like weed? Don’t smoke it.
One of my biggest pet peeves as a libertarian are the people who claim to be pro-liberty on some issues but when it comes to things they disagree with they suddenly become fans of Big Government telling everyone else to conform to their morality.
“Dismissing scientific research as a “fallacy” shows that you know and understand nothing about the scientific process.”
Hilarious. You’ve not presented any “scientific research”. You’ve presented FUD as usual but no actual research data.
“But I know you don’t want to know the current status of research into the effects of marijuana use. “
Another fallacy. If you took the time to actually research my posting history, you’d see I’m a HUGE advocate of pure research into cannabis. Non-govermental, 3rd party research is a must! No “research” from prohibitionist entities or pro-cannabis entities, please.
Here's what I found (emphases added):
"With reference to chronic substantial cannabis use and its impact on brain function, the definitive studies are yet to be done. If clinical impressions are meaningful, some people, especially young people, can sustain temporary and perhaps permanent impairment of nonintoxicated mental performance." - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6973305
