Myrholm sarcastically asks who he should believe between pro-marijuana activists and anti-marijuana researchers, who have nothing to gain. Perhaps neither; believe Christ God Our Father, the ecologican, who created all the seed-bearing plants and said they were all good on literally the very first page of the Bible. The biggest harm associated with cannabis use is being caged for using it, which is what Myrholm's activism is responsible for. If people really care to reduce the harm from cannabis use, quit working so hard to cage them. Stan White Dillon, Col. - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
