        WHO commissioned study from W Hall & R Room comparing effects of alcohol, tobacco & cannabis but did not publish after pressure from vested interests. Of course health effects alcohol, tobacco >>> cannabis. Paper published elsewhere

        A false dichotomy. Neither to excess, neither chronically, neither driving, neither on some meds, both ok for some alone or in combo. Don’t let your teen goad you into this corner.

        What's thoughtful about it? It is ignorant or dismissive of much available knowledge, and could almost have been written by NORML. Meanwhile I heard yet another marijuana tragedy last night which will not make it into any statistics.

        Both are. Trumps kids neither smoke nor drink, despite being born in a 3 marriage household. Normalizing addictions is merely an excuse, kinda like medicating ADHD or opioid crisis.
