GET FACTS RIGHT ON CANNABIS

IF Mairead Scannell really wants factual information on the health effects
of cannabis, she doesn't have to go to one article in the Reader's Digest.

There are hundreds of books and articles on the subject on the Internet at
www.druglibrary.org/schaffer, including studies by the Governments of the
US, UK, Canada, and Australia.

To quote the US Drug Enforcement Agency chief administrative law judge:
"marijuana, in its natural form, is probably one of the safest
therapeutically active substances known to man."

His ruling can be seen under Major Studies of Drugs and Drug Policy.
