Your usage of the word "Researcher" is itself a loaded claim. It implies that there is some objectivity going on when in fact, most of the cites I see from Pro-Drug people are from that vast armada of propagandists who want legalized drugs. Take the link for this topic thread for example. http://mic.com/articles/92449/six-months-after-legalizing-marijuana-two-big-things-have-happened-in-colorado
I looked at the rest of the site. I wanted to know what sort of source it was, because all too many times when I look at a source for one of these pro-drug stories (especially one so silly as to draw conclusions after a mere six months) it generally turns out to be part of a larger pro-drug armada.
Guess how many Pro-Marijuana stories I found on that site for this last Week?
Well there's
This one: http://mic.com/articles/92981/here-are-the-states-set-to-vote-on-marijuana-legalization-this-year
And this one: http://mic.com/articles/92873/after-opposing-legalized-marijuana-last-year-here-s-what-colorado-s-governor-says-today

That's eight different stories in support of pot, and that's just since June 30.
Seeing these nearly daily stories promoting pot, one gets the impression that the people who post at this website have an agenda. As a matter of fact, if you look at OTHER topics, you realize pretty quickly that this site is very Pro Gay marriage, Pro Abortion, Pro Gun Control, Pro Climate Nazi, Pro Feminist, Pro Vegetarian, Anti Military, Pro Trans Gender, Supports accusations of "Racism", Pro minimum wage hike, and of course Pro-Drugs.
In sum total, that website is against everything Free Republic purportedly stands for, and in favor of everything Free Republic is purportedly against. It is, in fact, an extreme liberal Kook site, and I would have thought someone would have better sense than to post a link to it here at Free Republic. You might as well be linking Mother Jones or the San Fransisco chronicle.
So give me a break when I don't take much "evidence" posted on this topic very seriously. It's Agendas all the way down.
