Hymowitz POT AS A PRESCRIPTION Most people who smoke marijuana do so for euphoria. Marijuana is not medicine; it is a drug. Drugs such as tobacco, alcohol and marijuana need to be controlled with effective warning labels, high taxes, age restrictions and more. Warning labels should be exhaustive. Alcohol labels leave out pertinent information, including the fact that withdrawal may be life-threatening. When you tell people important details, they are more likely to make better decisions.
