    Can you read that middle study for me friendo?

    I know you don’t have time to explain how math works, but can you explain the concepts of p-value and statistical significance for me?

    Also, do things existing at less than 0.04 mg have no effect on the human body?

      Literally irrelevant to the point I’m making.

      In almost every case, that’s correct.

      Keep in mind that’s also the strongest measured concentration of the biggest clouds in the whole study, and that assumes instead of passively breathing in someone else’s vape cloud, they’re just breathing the whole thing right into your mouth. Realistic amounts of chemicals would be an order or two magnitude lower.
