Makes sense, I probably should have used a better word then flawed; I have minimal experience with research study designs. Why didn't you ask more questions though (ones about perceived danger would be interesting)? Was it for more concise results, or to increase participation - or a little of both (or neither)? Will you share the full results or will we just get an abstract? Do you have a hypothesis or just gathering sociological data?
I await your findings!
Our main focus for this study is motivation. We actually had to remove question because in the piloting process we saw that people did not complete the survey if it was to lengthy. We have focused on side effects and risks with eg synthetics cannabinoids, as described by users online earlier. See this open access article in full text if you are interested:

If the results get published in an open access journal as above you will get access to in full text, otherwise an abstract. We strive towards publishing in open access.
