MARIJUANA VIEWS DRAW RESPONSE

What Ander thinks he knows about cannabis is so flawed that one would be
hard pressed to take anything this person says on any subject as credible.

He does, however, take prohibitionist lunacy to new heights of absurdity.

Ander's statement that "...marijuana smokers get lung cancer almost as
often as their nicotine-addicted counterparts" is standard, run-of-the-mill
prohibitionist fabrication.

Ander's notion that "the overall death rate is relatively low precisely
because marijuana usage is relatively low" is also typical prohibitionist
nonsense.

The Senate Report tells us that 30 per cent of the population (12 to 64
years old) has used cannabis at least once; approximately two million
Canadians over age 18 have used cannabis during the previous 12 months;
approximately 600,000 have used it during the past month, and approximately
100,000 use it daily.
