  3. For decades, cannabis opponents controlled the messaging around the popular plant and cultivated any number of lies about its effects. Out of all the drugs out there—legal and otherwise—weed can be singled out as the most misunderstood.

  5. 1. Marijuana is as addictive as heroinIt is now frequently stated that marijuana is profoundly addicting and that any increase in prevalence of use will lead inevitably to increases in addiction.The FactsEssentially all drugs are used in "an addictive fashion" by some people. However, for any drug to be identified as highly addictive there should be evidence that substantial numbers of users repeatedly fail in their attempts to discontinue use and develop use-patterns that interfere with other life activities.In fact, more than 90% of people who try cannabis do not become addicted. However, heroin has a 23.1% lifetime dependency level, cocaine is at 20.9%, alcohol is at 22.7% and nicotine is at a staggering 67.5%. http://mtvernonwamedicalmarijuana.blogspot.com/2015/12/top-3-myths-about-marijuana.html

  7. 2. MARIJUANA IS A DRUG WITHOUT THERAPEUTIC VALUEProposals to make marijuana legally available as a medicine are countered with claims that safer, more effective drugs are available, including a synthetic version of delta-9-THC, marijuana's primary active ingredient.The FactThe reality is that cannabis is something of a wonder drug. The majority of American medical doctors think marijuana should be legal according to Web MD survey reported in April—and with good reason. It alleviates symptoms related to chemotherapy, AIDS, certain cancers and especially glaucoma. Cannabis is effective medicine for millions of people, and legalizing it would provide more of them access to it. http://mtvernonwamedicalmarijuana.blogspot.com/2015/12/top-3-myths-about-marijuana.html

  9. 3. MARIJUANA IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF HIGHWAY ACCIDENTSMarijuana’s opponents claim that it, too, causes significant impairment and that any increase in use will lead to increased highway accidents and fatalities.The FactIn actual driving studies, marijuana produces little or no car-handling impairment – consistently less than produced by moderate doses of alcohol and many legal medications. In contrast to alcohol, which tends to increase risky driving practices, marijuana tends to make subjects more cautious. http://mtvernonwamedicalmarijuana.blogspot.com/2015/12/top-3-myths-about-marijuana.html
