Default American decline in tech was: ENvironmentally Friendly ...

... and what makes those doctors crackpot? The fact that they
prescribe marijuana?


Pretty much, yes. Most doctors don't go around making up their own
prescriptions.


Well, that's a pretty circular reasoning. You can argue any point that
way. And, as a matter of fact, doctors =do= go around making their own
prescriptions. Once a drug is approved for =anything=, it can be
prescribed for anything else.

Marijuana has been shown to be superior to commercial prescrptions for
the relief of nausea in terminal cancer patients. I don't see any
objection to such use, except perhaps by the supersticious and meddlesome.

If they have enough of a questioning mind to become a useful scientist then
they should have enough of one to get all the info that is out there and
decide things for themselves.


Alas, religion provides plenty to occupy an enquiring mind. One can
devote their entire life to interesting theological research. While it
is true that all the theological research in the world doens't make the
superstition true, it does occupy an otherwise bright mind.

People believe what they are fed as a child. Some rebel later, but not
out of reason.
