* Marijuana itself isn't terribly more dangerous than alcohol. What is
dangerous is lying to children, trying to convince them that marijuana
is practically like heroin. When these children realize marijuana
isn't so bad after all, that plenty of A-students and star athletes
use it with no obvious ill effects, they start to question the
association given between marijuana and heroin. The logical step is,
"Well, they told us pot is so bad, and it isn't, so maybe heroin isn't
so bad either."
