Druglink In , weblog of the British Association Drugscope, we found a post titled "Smoke, mirrors and the death of Objectivity" ("Smoke, mirrors and the death of objectivity"), where the "findings" of the drogabusología are not very good place. Not that others had not done before , but thanks to a partnership whims anything suspicious antiprohibitionist dares to denounce a situation intolerable. A piece chosen: Of course, this phenomenon is not unique to the United Kingdom. We see each other every day, and the collusion between drug agencies, scientists and media accomplices militants has an extraordinary health. Scientific objectivity about drugs is, at present, a chimera.
"The studies are carefully selected to conform to a pre-determined conclusion.
excess is given to reliability studies a sample of subjects with small or unrepresentative, or ignore other factors that could explain the result.
Some researchers take cover behind a respectable facade of scientific objectivity, but his work printed at his own scale of moral values, with the inevitable outcome for the results.
findings are distorted through the prism of prejudice. Medical journals announced alarming new drug research but for the time they are tabloids, which could have begun as a serious work ends up feeding alarmist headlines.
And, of course, there are outright lies and exaggerations, as the transformation of a potential risk to a small group of users in a real risk for all of them, and so on.
In the primary level, such tactics do not work. During the past 25 years, the use of Class A drugs has soared in the UK despite all the warnings of experts and activists. But beyond this, there is an objective truth about drugs and public has a right to access without any restriction. "
