Today’s Game (1:20:05) :

Welcome to today’s game, today our group will be playing for the grand prize of helping to expand scientific thought. Today’s game is three quotes and a lie. We have pulled three quotes from a research article and included one quote that is completely made up. Can you guess which quote is fake? Our article today is by Ream and colleagues, entitled Smoking tobacco along with marijuana increases symptoms of cannabis dependence, published in 2008 in the journal of Drug and Alcohol Dependence. Can you beat the group to guessing which quote is fake?
