While I agree that the headline is click-baity, and the stats are a bit suspect, I still want to see headlines like these in the mainstream press, because it raises questions about why MJ is classified as a Schedule-I drug after all?
I'm not a smoker (maybe once or twice a year, at most?). But the blatant lying by the government (that MJ has no medicinal value and is more dangerous than meth), which flies in the face of science, _and_ the governments prohibition on research, really bothers me. Are we a theocracy? Shouldn't we let science inform our decisions??
Edit: gah! I meant Schedule-I, not Schedule-III ! Edited.
