The Science in the News article was on medical marijuana research which generated lots of discussion regarding how lots of policy decisions are made independent of science. We also discussed how the scientific method may be used for seemingly unscientific problems. <br/> <br/>Description: CORRECTION: Pete had a brain fart during this show and said grams per mole rather than the proper units of concentration moles per liter.
