The "research into the medical benefits of marijuana" is touted by those
who are determined to find an excuse for the drug of their choice in all

AV>drug for children, and the myth that marijuana use causes people to want
AV>other drugs more than if they had not tried marijuana.  Neither of these
AV>is correct.
Then YOU explain WHY many of those who start out using alcohol and
marijuna switch to amphetamines and cocaine or other drugs and end up in
a psych ward by the time they are 20?
