I woke up this morning to find another of "the most popular" headlines on USA Today website about weed and driving. I should have known from the get go it would have a negative spin, it had the word "pot" in the title. Everyone knows driving under the influence of any mind altering substance is bad, but that article just sucked.
Now I had a career with a scientific background (weather forecasting) and had to take a lot of science and statistical math in school. I think I can say with some authority MOST of the science written about these days is very biased with causation totally ignored. There is always some sort of bias and looking to support conclusions going in rather than the true scientific method which is an unbiased analysis of data. The only real thing I saw was, when they said:
"However, one expert cautioned against inferring too much from this study, which was not designed to capture cause and effect.
"We can't really say yet that marijuana increases the risk by two or three times," said Chuck Farmer, director of statistics at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in Arlington, Va. "Most of their studies pointed to a very strong bad effect of marijuana on driving, but there are other studies out there that actually go the other way."
They made references to the growing MMJ movement. What a HUGE leap. Definitely biased and designed to support a negative spin. I have grown to just despise most main stream media. They're the just the voice of the power elite and seek to control minds more and more.
