Colorado, on the other hand, says the measure simply regulates licensed therapists by barring a practice that’s been scientifically discredited and linked to serious harm.
I hate this kind of writing.
It's not Colorado who says this. The practice has been discredited by the scientific community and is outright bullshit quackery, and the only reason it gets taken seriously is because our population is incredibly stupid. Just because your belief is sincerely-held, that doesn't mean it should be taken seriously in the public space, and this bullshit would have been laughed out of any courtroom in this country if we were reasonable people.
