Researchers: Alcohol Health Risks Underestimated, Marijuana Relatively Safe

And researchers may be systematically underestimating risks associated with alcohol use. They found that at the level of individual use, alcohol was the deadliest substance (abstract), followed by heroin and cocaine.

I always thought that my father's generation would be the last of the prohibitionists. Imagine my disappointment at seeing people my age voting for people like Reagan and his racist drug policies, twice! And to this day voting for business as usual while enjoying their after dinner spliffs. Maybe Obama can still surprise us by pardoning everybody in the system for pot, like Maher asked. It's almost 80 years overdue.
