Obama says marijuana ‘no more dangerous than alcohol’

148. I'll concede that in some circumstances, marijuana will be more effective.

I'm no medical expert.

But proponents sometimes act like it's some type of 'nature's gift' that cures all. Last year there was even a thread about how marijuana increased IQ scores in high schoolers so there's the connection to children some other posts on this thread decried.

But I truly doubt that marijuana is 'necessary' for any but a very limited set of specialized medical conditions. If yours is one of them, more power to you.

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea only 7 years ago so I know something about the importance of sleep. (The back of my throat creates a wind tunnel effect.) If only marijuana could have helped me with that, I'm sure I would have a different opinion on its use. But given a choice between marijuana and something else, I'd choose something with more of a track record.
