But the study would be okay if they merely interviewed individuals who purchased cannabis for their own recreation? What if these individuals were using it recreationally according to a schedule suggested by the interviewers?
- Thriptic 8y agoSuggesting that study participants use a drug of unknown purity, composition, and dosing would definitely not be ok or safe. Encouraging illegal activity generally is not ok. Interviewing self-professed users without instructing them to use the drug would likely be ok but of limited value.
- drewrv 8y agoI don't know about other legal states but here in Washington the purity, composition, and dose of cannabis products are highly regulated and come with standardized labels.
- mywittyname 8y agoNow sure, but what about 40 years ago?
- stephengillie 8y agoWe're discussing now, not the sociopolitical environment of the 1970s. Please stay on topic.
- tzakrajs 8y agoThe drugs purity is well known in many recreational marijuana states. Have you looked over CAs laws? https://www.bcc.ca.gov/law_regs/index.html https://www.bcc.ca.gov/law_regs/index.html
- Thriptic 8y agoParent did not say they would be purchasing in a state where recreational dispensaries exist or where weed is legal at a state level. Those are unstated assumptions.
- jedharris 8y agoMaybe an independent group could manage the schedule and have lab tests done so the drug details could be determined. Then the academic researchers could track the subjects, analyze the results and publish.
