Explanation:
The recreational use of marijuana has been glamorized over the years by such on-screen duos as Cheech & Chong and Harold & Kumar, but is the drug everything that Hollywood makes it out to be? Then again, are we being hypocritical by allowing alcohol consumption but not cannabis usage? With passionate believers on both sides of the argument, it will be interesting to see what happens when the smoke clears.

Marijuana is Addictive
YES
What you fail to point out is the fact that it is so incredibly much more dangerous to drive drunk. Marijuana is not particularly good for you, but it is no worse than smoking and it is ABSOLUTELY no worse than drinking. You can't overdose on it, it relieves pain, it generally puts you in a better mood. Countless scientific studies have shown that it works incredibly well for medical purposes. And marijuana doesn't have nearly as much, if any, affect on your decisions as alcohol does. That survey of inmates in prisons is absolutely preposterous. If they are in prison for homicide, a lot more was going on than getting high.
