    I don’t read it as saying they’re wrong. I read it as saying it’s unreliable. If someone has a cacaine addiction, I’m not going to trust them to hold on to some crack and not use it. If they can prove themselves reliable then they may be trusted.

    I don’t think I agree with this person’s opinion, but it’s not what you said it was.

      I think a better way to phrase that might be: I’m not going to trust a cocaine addict who tells me that cocaine is a safe and healthy alternative to my morning cup of coffee. I would like to see those findings peer reviewed and replicated by people that don’t have a vested interest in making access to cocaine easier.
