You can hardly walk out the door, turn on the T.V. or read the newspaper without being confronted with the issue of marijuana – its harmfulness or harmlessness, its medical usefulness or lack thereof, its grouping with alcohol as the first drug of experimentation, not to mention the fact that state laws and federal laws regarding its use and legality are often out of sync.

There is so much misinformation about marijuana out there, due to efforts by some to desensitize society to the harms and risks of this illegal substance.

It is scientifically proven to lead to the use of harder drugs. Read on about the issues and arm yourself with the truth about marijuana.
