Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. "Go read this book" ain't it.

'extraordinary claims' is laughable.

Point, but the claim that this is driving civilian drug policy is still extraordinary.

“I don’t feel like reading a book” isn’t a counter argument. That’s just a tidbit about how your day is going

I've not refuted anything, but I still don't believe it. I'm just informing them of that.

I think gp might’ve suggested the book because they weren’t expecting the claim to be accepted out of hand.

I’m not convinced either, the book looks interesting though. I might watch the hbo adaptation whenever that comes out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
