(891 posts)conspiracy theory nonsense. However, there was a recent study in which it claimed that marijuana effected a person's life achievements worse than alcohol. I didn't buy into it because I questioned whether you could fully asses that with one being illegal and other being legal. The study itself admitted the weakness, but it didn't stop new sites and the anti-drug crowd from running with it. There is also decent ground to question string theory and many abiogenesis theories.
This is of course different than questioning GMO's solely because you think it's a corporate conspiracy and dismissing all research that shows it as being safe.
My point is that we shouldn't automatically declare anyone who questions a scientific study or consensus as being necessarily anti-science.
