DANGERS OF MARIJUANA

Where are Sheriff's Detective Gary Martin's priorities? There were
220 fatal overdoses in Palm Beach County last year, largely because
of prescription drug abuse, and Martin claims marijuana is the
leading drug problem? In the thousands of years marijuana has been
used medicinally and recreationally, the plant has never been shown
to cause an overdose death.

The same cannot be said of aspirin, much less alcohol or prescription
drugs. There is a good reason millions of Americans prefer marijuana
to martinis. Pot is easily the least harmful recreational drug, legal
or otherwise.
