Climate "Science" Is Ruining Everything
Clayton Cramer is expounding at length on why pot should not be legalized. He cites a government funded study. In the comments I found this: 13. Roux's Papa:So climate scientists aren't the only corrupters of science. This is good to know. Note that Eric has also taken a look at the "scientific" report cited from a slightly different point of view. Have a read. Cross Posted at Power and Control posted by Simon on 03.03.10 at 04:48 PM

I trust science--a rarer commodity than many would believe. I distrust scientists (and other intellectuals)--they are too eager to elevate their prejudices into universal moral principles. An observation for the leftist intelligentsia: Not all academics are scientists, and scientists aren't necessarily academics. Brett · March 5, 2010 08:06 AM Post a comment

Congratulations on the Times link.
The question is not so much whether the science is accurate, but whether it should be used as the basis for legislation. Scientific studies show a link between bad diet and heart disease, and the information (whether accurate or not) ought to be read and taken into account by people who care about their health in deciding what to eat. Same with pot studies.
But the more the government relies on scientific studies to create legislation, the more corrupted science becomes, and the less people trust science.
