I wasn't using logic here nor even trying to use logic. I was pointing out a fact that virtually everyone here can recognize about modern "medical science". Most medical studies today have no actual scientific value--and it's usually easy to tell because the conclusions always happen to agree with whatever is politically correct at the time, especially when it comes to drugs or pharmaceuticals.
Interesting that most people can easily see that virtually everything these people say about "trans-sɛҳuąƖs", "homo-sɛҳuąƖs", the COVID "vaccine", wearing face masks, etc., etc., etc., is obvious bunk. But, hey, they say smokin' pot is good! I like this study. They must be good scientific studies.
Nice straw-man there.
That's the Protestant "throw the baby out with the bath water" game.
There's no end to that game. "Oh, simony," so "The Roman Church is the whore of Babylon."
Not interested.
I am happy to be skeptical about anything and everything that is not directly from God…
but I need to function in the world for the benefit of myself and my family, so I will take some things on faith (lower case "f") to get through the day.
I don't need to review my cardiac surgeon's medical school transcripts before he operates on me.
I don't need to have a "second opinion" from a mechanic every time I have a vehicle repaired.
I don't need to send our groceries to a path lab to make sure they weren't poisoned.
There is no shortage of sh*thead doctors or sh*thead patients. That doesn't mean I will do a year-long deep dive every time I need medical help.
It
seems to me that a
few people here do themselves a disservice in their [nearly?]
incapacitating level of mistrust about everything. An example: I think, perhaps wrongly, that
Gladius mendacii would rather that his whole family died of a "no virus," than to get help if they needed it. God help them if they need medical help.
I have plenty of mistrust of the medical establishment, but when I am able, I choose trustworthy physicians. Does that always work out? Well, not perfectly. I am legally blind in one eye because the sumbichés (that's a French word) didn't lubricate or tape my eyes shut when I was in a coma. BTW I was in coma, so I had no choice in the matter of selecting my caregiver. Tough luck for me. Thank God He preserved vision in one eye.
So, I do NOT take every medical authority's word as Gospel. Certainly not with regard to COVID, mRNA bioweapons, or MJ.
In fact it was my questioning of those medical authorities that prompted me to do the deep dive. Several people testified to me personally about the medical benefits they had received from MJ. That clashed with what I thought I "knew" about MJ, so I did the deep dive. Their own literature showed that their "party line" was complete manure, so I changed my opinion to match what I learned and advocated accordingly.
If I was unwilling to confront the medical establishment, I would never have bothered to do the deep dive or to confront the medical jerks talking nonsense about MJ (like the .gov jerk who threatened purple-faced and bug-eyed to "get [me]" because I proved in a media debate that he was doing a Gladius, claiming his reference said something that it actually contradicted. I had read that new article the night before the debate, so it was crystal clear in my mind). It is still kind of funny, but he did try to "get me." He failed because I was as clean as a whistle, but it was definitely a hassle.
BOTTOM LINE: It is because I care about the readers of this forum that I address this issue. It would be easy to say, "dummies," shake my head, and move on, but I worry, yes, worry, that people will let themselves be incapacitated by FACTUAL MISINFORMATION (e.g., denying the toxicity of alcohol or forgoing medical benefits of MJ, or dying because they refuse to seek help when they have a virus that some crackpot blowhard says doesn't exist).
Really! How do these people function in life? Miserable, sour-faced, invincibly inconvincible trads are a bane.
