"Marijuana is harmful! Addictive! Beware of marijuana! One begins with marijuana but ends with heroin and other hard drugs!" Those claims could constantly be heard in past decades when it comes to marijuana.

But all those stories about its harmful effects, which are propagated in the past decades slowly crumble. Here is an example of how a great wise people look at marijuana.
