MARIJUANA USE DEBATED
I strongly disagree with Harinder Aujila's assertions that students
are better off "reaching for the bottle" and "smoking marijuana is not
as good as drinking." There is absolutely no comparison, cannabis is
by far safer than alcohol in every way. And "cannabis is no lighter
drug than anything else" makes me question Aujila's
credentials.
In fact (arguably) there is no debate, cannabis isn't even a drug but
rather a relatively safe God-given plant which has not been known to
cause an overdose in over 5,000 years of documented use. That's safety
on a Biblical scale that no other so called drug may claim.
