Yes, and the vast majority are simple mistakes. That's why there's a materials and methods section, so others can coroborate the research.




From a science perspective, you are absolutely correct. However, mass media and politicians sway public opinion based upon the faulty science when it comes out rather than waiting for other scientists to verify the accuracy and reproducibility of the research.

Using the "MDMA causes holes in your brain" research as an example... turns out they used methamphetamine by accident. The scientists recalled their research when they discovered their mistake, but by then, the media and politicians had already accepted the faulty conclusions as fact. Very little was said, or done, when the truth came out. I still hear people using the faulty research as justification for their prohibition position.

yeah, I agree on that point.

Its almost always incorrect assumptions or just plain fabricated conclusions from shaky data that drives news and politicians, this news article and study a prime example- you've got a study that shows lower-to-average carcinogen concentration in marijuana on a mass basis, with much lower heavy metal concentration (who doesn't like mercury inhalation?) and then you get a news article neglecting all of this to trumpet "zomg, more ammonia!!!!"

When really, I think its an amazing showing how much little exposure to the polycylclic aromatics you get from marijuana in normal smoking, and how little heavy metals there are.
