## Resource

Blunt Business tears apart the "bunk" science being weaponized by mainstream outlets like Reuters and The Guardian. By interrogating the raw data behind a widely cited Lancet Psychiatry study, the program exposes a collection of massive research failures—including tiny sample sizes, high risks of researcher bias, and a reliance on pharmaceutical synthetics that bear no resemblance to what consumers actually use. We call out the "misinformation machine" funded by Big Pharma and shifts the focus to the real story: new evidence linking legalization to crime reduction and the definitive countdown to Virginia’s retail market launch in 2027.
