MARIJUANA DOESN'T KILL, BUT TOBACCO SURE DOES

Re: Pot's In, Tobacco's Out in the Netherlands Ban.
This is good. Marijuana is better for you than tobacco. Pot has 
dozens of medical
applications, where tobacco only has a few.

This will force pot users to be healthier by forcing them to not use
tobacco.

Recent science out of Germany shows how cannabinoids stimulate the
body's production of something that helps healthy cells resist cancer
invasion.

No one has ever died from marijuana, whereas tobacco has been
implicated in the death of millions.

My wife and I have medical marijuana licences from Health Canada, but
are forbidden from using cannabis outdoors at licensed establishments
where people smoke tobacco. It sounds like the Netherlands are a step
ahead of us once again.
