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.
