If you've got fifteen minutes you'd like to kill, I've written a paper recently that discusses the issues raised in comments thus far.

@#66: Fundamental methodological flaw: "Mike Stringham, also a veterinary entomologist, meticulously counted droppings left by flies on white 'spot cards.' The results were conclusive: The water bags attracted more flies."
In fact, the rooms with bags had fewer flies but, terrified of their reflections, the flies reflexively evacuated their bowels, causing spurious spot card results.

This reminds me of a great lifehacker post on a DIY fruit fly trap made from a two-liter soda bottle. Made my kitchen enormously more habitable.

This is really fascinating to me. The shift from the effects of THC and cannabidiol to pure THC corresponds precisely to the change in the way that pot affected me. Up to the age of 22 or so, it made me giggly, happy, relaxed. Since then it tends much more to make me paranoid and unable to speak or interact with others. I've heard a number of other people say that they've had that same shift.
So who's going to breed marijuana with much higher cannabidiol content?
Not, of course, that I would ever take an illegal drug or break the law in any other way.
