Your points are blatant misunderstandings of science, how am I suppose to address that? I don't think I am capable. I believe you need a tutor or night classes.

I don't know how to address this other than you have a misunderstanding of what science even is. Saying "ANYTHING" cannot be explained with science is a fundamental misunderstanding so great that I can't help you.

You simply cannot disprove soft science theories in sociology and psychology WITH SCIENTIFIC DATA.


Saying that you can not disprove soft science theories with scientific data because you can not get an outcome that is 99% accurate like natural science is a continuation of what I said above. Science does not create absolute knowledge, but saying that you must dismiss all studies because it is "soft science" is ridiculous.

The study of Cannabis Gate Effect is only a soft science if what I say is correct. That it is your social environment that causes the gateway effect. The ONLY way you can be correct is if you completely disregard everything you just said about 'soft science', because the gateway effect in your theory would be entirely Natural Science. Not psychological and not sociological. Really ironic, not sure if you were going for some kind of double reverse troll job, but you failed on a couple levels.

Just by saying that the gateway effect is psychological or sociological completely destroys your argument. You killed your own argument. Just think about it for a minute.

We know how cannabinoid and cannabinoid receptors work. Here's a video. Saying we can't perform scientific studies on cannabis gateway effect with our level of technology is a joke: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0GMar5OlaQ&t=1m50s
