Obama is misinformed. He made it seem like marijuana is as dangerous or even remotely close to being as dangerous as alcohol....

"That's a good start from the president but it's still misinformed," said Donald Abrams, chief of oncology at San Francisco General Hospital.


"In my 37 years as a physician, the number of patients I've admitted to the hospital with complications from marijuana use is zero. The number I've admitted due to alcohol use is profound," he said.


[Abrams] spends much of his day discussing the medical use of cannabis with cancer patients. He frequently prescribes marijuana, which is legal for medical use in California, to decrease nausea, increase appetite, decrease pain and depression and aid sleep.


"I never recommend alcohol to patients as a treatment for anything," he said.

You don't think the data will change when cannabis is legalized? Perhaps his cases are zero because so few engage in it because it is illegal. I would say that statistically, there is a vastly higher number of adults consuming alchohol than marijuana.

I'm all for dullards having the right to toke; it means less competition for jobs in the workplace for those of us who do not. But it is a mind altering drug that is demotivational and definately affects your work and your ability to function.
