Can you say...JUNK SCIENCE? First they said pot causes men to go bald.
Then they said it causes impotence.
Later on they said it would make men grow breasts. BUT WAIT! THERE'S
MORE! Now men will have heart attacks too. The government has told so
many lies in it's zeal to convince the country that marijuana is, as
Donna Shalala put it," Just plain bad" that I doubt that anyone would
see this junk science as anything more than a good laugh.
This so-called scientist has put forth a relational finding NOT a
causal finding. It's like saying that everyone who has worn black
shoes will die of a heart attack. It wouldn't take very long to find
large numbers of people who died of heart failure while wearing black
shoes thus proving the relationship. Sorry guys. You have cried wolf
one time too many. I don't believe anything you say.
