Individual experiences aren't invalid.
A well-designed study may be more revealing, but the individual experiences are legitimate and should not be discarded solely because studies are possible.
- robocat 4y agoYeah. A strong enough signal will show in a sample of one. With a correct model, cause and effect can be predicted without any samples (scientific progress often occurs this way). And some people’s intuitions are remarkably astute. Albeit there are a lot of people who have incorrect intuitions and don’t know it. A cannabis example would be strong paranoia after one sesh. More ingrained paranoia (qanon?) that I have seen linked to regular heavy usage doesn’t feel to me to be a stretch of the imagination.
