You have an ideological viewpoint that says that all people with a certain identity are wrong. And you present yourself as moral.
You sound like a fundamentalist, to me.

A Crusade was never launched on behalf of science, people were never burned at the stake because of science, babies are not still being mutilated at birth against their will (circumcision or genital mutilation of young girls) because of science, and AIDs was not spread unchecked across the world due to government's lack of science.

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.
