Brain Theft at McGill - Give Coke to Coke Heads

The headline says it all:

"USERS GIVEN FREE COCAINE IN McGILL STUDY"

Academic research is a holy grail and may rarely be discredited. If you question one research project, you are apparently against freedom of thought.

This, of course, is the faultiest misuse of logic.

Nevertheless, the immoral, irresponsible eggheads of the world must do what they can to defend their dreadful acts and their detestable spending of public money on "experiments" that cannot possibly have any meaningful outcomes.

In this case, the study will last 10 years. Which, let's face it is a nice sinecure for some otherwise useless hallway gasbag.

The news report says the cost is $120,000 annually for this.

Even I don't have to grab my handy desk calculator to point out that this travesty costs you and me $1,200,000.

To add outrage to insult, this hocus-pocus was chosen as the BEST among 50 applicants applying for grants related to brain function.

I'd like to apply for a grant to study a) how the brains of people who give coke to coke heads function, if at all; and b) how the brains of people who award grants to people who give coke to coke heads function, if at all.

This alleged study hopes to cast light on addictions.

We already know just about everything we need to know about addictions. More importantly, we know how to treat addictions.

All we have to do know is have the courage to fund treatment.
