Of course "if you looked hard enough", but I'm more interested in those who look well enough. I don't make my arguments about cannabis from pro or anti cannabis websites, but from accredited research institutions that actually do the labwork themselves (statistics are often very fallable in their interpretation). The University of Victoria has an incredible international database on all sorts of science info strait from the researcher's mouth. The University of Massachusettes (I think that's the one) does plenty of research in biology themselves, and the University of Saskatchewan has a remarkable neurological studies department. Anybody who's familiar with proper science will never be impressed by a claim that starts with "studies show", but by a presentation of data and the methodology behind the study which can be openly debated in regard to any fallable interpretation.
