This video and this site is so full of it. I have never used marijuana, but there is NOTHING wrong with the drug. There are more risks in my asthma medication than there are in weed.

Great clip, I like the graphics in it. It is good to have information about risks without the usual fear-mongering attached, this site is good in the way it goes about promoting health.

In your "facts & stats" section you mention "can cause physical dependence" & "long-term effects shows evidence of respiratory & brain function impairment" but I'd like to see some actual statistics.

Weed: a slight chance to compound or trigger rare mental disorders like anxiety and depression

you have no idea the damage this drug can do. Try working in the field a few years and see the ramifications of drug use on young people, their lives and their futures, then tell me its okay.

I am a social worker and I see the effects of all sorts of drugs and pot is definitely one of them.
Yet, I like the way this site is designed.It is an informative website.

Any kind of drug can be harmful, espicially in excess. users are making bad choices and trying to justify their actions is just absurd.

a study was conducted over 10 years in which they found no increases in schizophrenia or other mental health issues, in fact while the cannabis use rose the mental health issues did not.
