CANNABIS OR COMMONLY CALLED

MARIJUANA

Marijuana is the third most popular recreational drug in America

(behind only alcohol and tobacco), and has been used by nearly 100
million Americans. According to government surveys, some 25
million Americans have smoked marijuana in the past year, and
more than 14 million do so regularly despite harsh laws against its
use. Our public policies should reflect this reality, not deny it.

Marijuana is far less dangerous than alcohol or tobacco. Around

50,000 people die each year from alcohol poisoning. Similarly, more
than 400,000 deaths each year are attributed to tobacco smoking.
By comparison, marijuana is nontoxic and cannot cause death by
overdose.
