The sheer amount of bullshit that gets peddled by charlatans and hucksters is the very reason people don't trust anecdotal evidence around here. Or individual testimony. Look at any scam product, how its claims are supported and compare them to your cause du jour. What makes your claims more or less valid than previous scams? What gives your cause the credibility that those ones lacked?
Your claims could very well be true, but if you can't support them, then I'm going to just file them into the 'Snake Oil' drawer and move on.
That sounds fair, but to be honest I don't trust the government's official bullshit either.
What gets accepted as the officially-sanctioned wisdom is too easily influenced by special interests ("bootleggers and Baptists"), power grabs, and political convenience (marijuana laws and minorities).
Oh, I agree with you and the classification of marijuana is a great example. The government line on that seems totally divorced from reality, even if it is to remain illegal.
