Medicinal marijuana has been known to diminish the tendencies of many people.

"Scientists have discovered that taking a sugar pill is more effective than routine medications in treating aggression in people with intellectual disabilities."

Where can I get these sugar pills? Do I need a prescription? How much are they? I NEED THEM!!!

"Is p=0.06 close enough?"

It means there's a 6% chance the conclusion's bad. 0.05 is the usual cutoff. In this case though the drug effect is about equal to the sugar pill, but the sugar pill crew(<79>) did better than the drugged up crew(<(58+65)/2=62>).
