The Side Effects Aren't Worth It
Denialists
I notice that when scientific studies are provided to back up a claim, commenters deny their validity. I've seen conflicting data from scientific studies on marijuana , but on balance more showing harmful effects. Yes, prescription medications also have side effects. That doesn't mean marijuana's side effects should be discounted. At least prescription medications are not smoked.
