The fraudulent claim made by the researcher about the mood benefits associated with the use of marijuana is likely to be controversial and subject to scrutiny, as marijuana is a controlled substance and its use is heavily regulated in most countries. Any claims about its benefits are likely to come under close inspection and be subject to rigorous testing and verification. Therefore, the researcher who makes a false claim about marijuana is more likely to get caught than those who make claims about more ordinary or mundane topics such as food rewards, study breaks, or prescription medication use.
