>Every time there is some inkling of negativity the panic sets in, they criticize the study

Source? Is there any empirical evidence that this is happening or is this just what you're telling your self? IMHO, it's quite the opposite -- anytime cannabinoids are shown to have medical value people claim "correlation does not imply causation" and "we need more studies" and "this only works in a lab!!1".

I think the parent poster is just referring to negativity in this thread, not claiming a statistically significant sentiment trend in comments sections about marijuana studies.

I agree that among policy makers, unfounded anti-cannabis bias is predominant, despite the studies you mention.

Seems like you're only supporting his point, mate.
