+1 about Wikipedia. Wiki-anything is NOT a credible source of information. I've read wiki articles before that were full of total B.S. but they were on wikipedia so idiots all over the country were quoting from it. If you REALLY want to know anything about drugs and their effects on health, etc. look at some reputable journals. These are usually peer reviewed. For those who didn't pay any attention in school and have no idea what that is, a peer reviewed journal is one that has been reviewed by other experts in the field. For example a peer reviewed article about a dental procedure would have to be reviewed by a panel of dentists before it could be published in a peer reviewed journal. That way several experts can make sure the information was researched and tested, etc. before it was written about. Those are the most reputable sources. New England Journal of Medicine is an example of a peer reviewed work.
The other thing is...anyone who has spent any time at all in the military can tell you that conspiracy theories are largely just stupid--for a number of reasons. The main reason is that the goverment is simply NOT organized enough to pull off most of the stuff they're accused of. The bigger the conspiracy; the bigger the pile of B.S. Some of these stupid theories reach a level that would require THOUSANDS if not HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of participants! There just aren'that may people out there trying to hurt you who are even organized enough to do it. The other thing is, most of these stupid theories revolve around things that the federal gov't and the people in it don't care about or wouldn't want to participate in. For example, the insane notion that the 9/11 attacks were done by our own military. That's just absolutely some stupid s**t. You couldn't even find any military pilots that would be willing to do something like that American citizens much less the Pentagon itself. NO way! You get the name of ONE current military pilot who would do that and I'll start to listen...just ONE name. Here's the craziest part about alot of it. Many of people who are crying conspiracy are the same group who voted for a president who openly said that he was going to fundamentally change our form of government. A president who has well known ties to communist, socialst dictators, and racists groups. A president who has aligned himself with groups and people who represent oppresive systems that promote totalitarian control over people and remove freedom. Many of our conspiracy theorists voted for a president like that...so I'd say the conspiracy theorists are their own worst enemies. While being busy looking for conspiracies, they ignored the roaring lion that just walked in the room.
