as in barking up...
The suggestions I made were soundly based on scientific procedure
and aside from any social misconception, preconception or
aceptble standard. Persoanlly, I don't care who takes what, even
if the rout of choice is intra-anally. However,
if the intent of an experiment is to address an issue
of efficacy and effectiveness, a protocl with a purpose is required
so, if effective or inefective as the therapy/test might be, the
results are reproducible with certain degree of statistical correlation. Therefore,
an educated and data-weighted decission regarding whether the substance
worked or not can be reproduced time and time again
by many other who may benefit from positive results
to unexplored therapy, or in the least do not waste
their hopes in a compound whose valid theraputic
effectiveness is refuted by the existing tangible data.
