Maybe it is? Probably it is? I think we both know it is, period. Look at the # of deaths attributed to alcohol annually, and compare that to MJ (and 2-4 more kids in Charlotte this past weekend again at my kid's former HS: 2 already dead and 2 more in the hospital). It's a fraction and that's with the prevailing viewpoint that alcohol is "OK" and MJ is a criminalized gateway drug. I've had a good bit of experience with both, and I'd be the first to agree that the average peson is probably better off avoiding both, but if you're going to get a buzz, it's much, much healthier for that person and all those around them if it's from MJ. And I don't know about anyone claiming MJ is a wonder drug, if cannabis is unhealthy but I do believe it has a lot of potential in helping with anxiety, appetite, insomnia, etc... and those alone are far more benefits than alcohol and that's with the gov't trying to discredit MJ for the better part of 70 years.
