I have a very good understanding of what science actually is, having a parent who is a scientist. I have been taught to think for myself, and to question. But thanks for pointing out what you think you know about me. I have a background in social science research as well. If you think I have some blind trust of mainstream information, you would also be wrong.Without getting into your blind trust in designated others to inform you about the world, I'll say this: you don't understand what science actually is. You think it's a set of facts that special smart people tell everyone else. Not true. It's not even a body of facts, but rather a method of testing theories....period.
You think it's dangerous for people to do their own research about "scientific matters"? Do you not get that literally everything is a scientific matter?
Yes, cannabis growers tend to be the types to think for themselves and do research, not always about growing plants. That you think this is dangerous is laughable. Indoor cannabis growing stands on the shoulders of such people.
That article you posted again is hideous propaganda.
Cannabis growers are great people. I'm one. It doesn't mean they are immune to bullshit, or somehow have insight that others don't.
From the "hideous propaganda" article from Forbes, a quote; "do not fool yourself: you are not doing research. You are seeking information to confirm your own biases and discredit any contrary opinions".
