This folks is a LIE. Our own government has studies that show 9% of marijuana users will become dependant, 15% of alcohol users, 17% of cocaine users, and 23% of heroin users will become dependant.

So if 10 million people consume marijuana less than 1 million Will be dependant. This is a small minority even when comparing to alcohol.

Hunh... A lie is a falsehood... The stats are that at least ten percent of potential users will be hardcore abusers...

There is no lie that marijuana is regularly abused... If you use an intoxicant that changes the body from stasis... That's abuse... Or do you think the brain wants to be stoned... Glucose and o2.. Not glucose 02 and thc.

Are you currently using mj?
