1. Marijuana Safer Than Alcohol

A new study from the US National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health shows that weed is the least fatal.  The deadliest substance was booze, followed by heroin, cocaine, tobacco, ecstasy and meth.  Weed is still addictive and a possible threat to cognitive function, but the research suggests a strict legal regulatory approach to marijuana instead of the current system.
