Hilarious. You’ve not presented any “scientific research”. You’ve presented FUD as usual but no actual research data.

Let's be honest here, shall we? I gave you the website for the largest catalog of medical research in the world. It contains abstracts and links to articles produced by researchers all over the world. I informed you that you are free to search the database using any search terms you want.

The reason I took this approach, rather than directly link any of the thousands of research articles published in medical journals is because if I link articles, you can then turn around and dismiss them as being cherry-picked or otherwise filtered somehow. You cannot accuse me of cherry-picking if you search for the articles yourself. Of course, you are free to cherry-pick however you want, and I have no control over that.

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!

Every legitimate researcher has similar education and credentials, regardless of their employer. *If* you would take the time to actually look at the medical research about the effects of marijuana research, you would see that researchers work for all kinds of entities. And, if you happened to find an article published by a government researcher, you would find a disclaimer that the information presented in the article is the opinion of the authors and does not necessarily reflect any opinion or official policy of the US government.

With all of the above said, I am not surprised that you are uninterested in examining the research for yourself. It has been my experience that people who hold anti-scientific positions rarely have any desire to find out what the science actually shows.

Lol. Wait til “medical research” discovers a ‘gay gene’ or similar. Suddenly, we’ll see a concerted effort against medical research. Wait for it!

Link some articles; I won't discuss in any way how you selected them, but will simply discuss them on their merits.

Or don't link articles, and be no better than the person who responds to challenges of their claims with "Google it."

Your call.

“Let’s be honest here, shall we? “

It would be a nice change from your fallacy this & fallacy that nonsense.

“The reason I took this approach, rather than directly link any of the thousands of research articles published in medical journals is because if I link articles, you can then turn around and dismiss them as being cherry-picked or otherwise filtered somehow.”

Truly hilarious. You claim to have valid data to prove your claims but if you share the data it will be used against you. Too funny. Reads like something a Pelosi would say.

“Every legitimate researcher has similar education and credentials, regardless of their employer. “

Bullshite! We see “research” on a variety of things that turns out to be pure crap after you look at the actual data. We also know about bias in research (global warming, etc) that generates a desired result.

“With all of the above said, I am not surprised that you are uninterested in examining the research for yourself.”

100% fallacy. You presume to know what I have or have not researched when you have no way to know what research I may or may not have read.
