Psychopharmacology Class.

My psycho-pharm class is such bullshit. Tonight we had a lab where we looked at 'marijuana'. There was a small vial labeled "marijuana for lab use only".
It looked sorta like shake, so the first thing I did was pop the cap and take whiff... bogus. We were suppose to look at it under the microscope for calcium carbonate crystals and then test it with Hcl to see if it bubbled. I suppose the calcium carbonate was supposed to resemble trichromes. Then we looked at 'LSD'. It was supposed to glow under a black light. WTF?
I was so looking forward to this class, but it's turning out to be complete disinformation, and tuition at my school is 25K per year!
The ass-clown teaching the class just makes up shit as he goes along, and I don't know how much more I can take. I just keep biting my tongue because I want the A, but man that class is annoying.
The guy said PCP was first prescribed as an antidepressant, Amanita muscaria is a hallucinogenic toad, and LSD was a drug of abuse in the 1930s. 
I feel sorry for the guy when his department head reads my evaluation at the end of the semester.

Maybe you could talk to your teacher in private after the class about some of your feelings and concerns? I know it would probably piss your teacher off a lot more if you called him out in front of the whole class, rather than in private.

I thought about sending him an email, but I realized he is just a bullshitter. He has contradicted himself on several occasions.
The ironic part is that the guy is pro-legalization, and I sorta like him, but then again it's rare for me to meet somebody I don't like. I'm a lone philosophy student in a classroom full of psychology majors. It seems that not everyone is concerned with the truth, and I wounder if it's my place to rub his face in it. If he were a philosophy professor I would have called him out at the first hint of inconsistency.
I don't really get psychology though.

It's a small Jesuit school. I'd really rather not name it.

why not call him out for the sake of spreading the truth instead of rubbing it in his face?
he'll do what he does

I have considered such matters. SIKE

Yeah, I feel I have an obligation to the truth. But damn, this is hard. How do you correct somebody when they are so far from the truth that to do so would be to call them a liar? People get really offended when you call them a liar.
I suppose it would be better to send him an email calling him out instead of giving him a bad eval... thanks.
