One trick I use with pretty reliable results is to alternate washing with baking soda and vinegar. So one wash, detergent + vinegar. Next wash, detergent + baking soda. They neutralize each other so don't do them at the same time, but they're both quite powerful and effective at neutralizing smells on their own, so if you have a serious smell issue with something a few rounds of that will likely help quite a bit.

At this stage of the game, refusing to legalize just means anyone who can is going to take their business out of state where the government can't tax it. Refusing to legalize is just hurting state governments where it's illegal at this point.

That isn't exactly what they found, though. They found that emotional dysregulation is correlated with belief in conspiracy theories. They specifically did not propose a cause, instead saying more research is needed.

I'll just repeat what always has to be said when scientists study the "obvious": it's still worth studying rigorously, and tbh I don't know of any other studies that touch on this specific correlation.

I'd also disagree that this study suggests that "fear" is the root cause of why people fall for conspiracy theories. Fear is a universal human emotion, but not everybody is a conspiracy theorist. Rather, inability or lack of learned skill in regulating emotions in general is what predicts susceptibility to conspiracy theories. Based on my own anecdotal experiences I could guess that the inability to regulate emotions like anger and sadness are also important in making someone susceptible to conspiracy thinking.
