Anecdotal evidence usually isn’t a better replacement for real evidence. I agree. But we have more anecdotal evidence than studies. Half of this country smokes weed, but we won’t admit to it and we’re not allowed to do test around it and half of us will lose our jobs if anyone found out about it.

You’re being incredibly disingenuous to try to pretend like there are a bunch of valid studies floating around after 100 years of prohibition. Any studies that have been allowed are all politically fucking motivated because they’re all approved by the government that created the prohibition.

You sound like you’re smart enough to comprehend what I’m saying. think about it for a second. Your studies are incredibly biased.
