premise: One economic study will not be the basis of Canada's public policy decisions, but Easton's research does conclusively show that there are economic benefits in the legalization of marijuana.
hypothesis: This study will be taken seriously
reason: This statement fits into the neither category, because while know the info in this study is conclusive, without other studies to back it up, we do not yet know how seriously its results will be taken. The system may have taken the first phrase of the context to mean that the study will not be taken seriously.
