One of the top stories on Reddit, found this snippet interesting:

Quote
MDMA ranked 17 out of 20 drugs when compared in terms of their harms, below No.1-rated alcohol, and other drugs including heroin, cocaine, tobacco, pot and steroids, according to a U.K. analysis published in The Lancet in 2010.


Meaning pure MDMA, not containing anything else. I've never been interested in ecstacy so I never actually looked at the actual side effects, but I always adhered to the colloquial "MDMA is really bad for you, stay the fuck away" policy. This is pretty surprising to me.

http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(10)61462-6/fulltext

Here's the source info for the study, but the summary of the study doesn't mention marijuana, so it looks like the thestar.com story might have had a gaff.

That's basically what this article says. I'm probably going to look into it some more once I finally wake up.

I'm not debating the dangers of marijuana(There are none really, other than criminal charges of course), I just used that as a title because I thought it was a bit ridiculous.

It looks like your only goal is to spread awareness about the possibility of decriminalizing marijuana. Boring.

the overall point is you care more about corruption towards marijuana than any other. take your hipster political interest elsewhere.

this is exactly why i laughed at your other topic. all you care about is the stupid and unimportant aspects of our world and try to act like you're better because of it.

marijuana isn't even close to important and you would rather hop up on a soap box preaching legal marijuana than a real issue because you are a silly little hipster.
