As a scientist and an American, I disagree. We live in a Constitutional republic with a democratic republican process.

We do not live in a scientocracy, nor would I ever recommend it.

Science can and should inform public policy, but public policy should be based on the will of the people, within Constitutional boundaries.

When the people are smart enough to see through scientific shams like global warming, their will should dominate.

If the good people of Louisiana and their Legislature remain convinced that the pro-cannabis material is pseudoscience, then their will should dominate.

Or would you favor a federal imposition forcing the legalization of cannabis based on science?
