   That is so silly. I went through grade-school in the "Just say no" 80's   
   and we were brainwashed into believing that all illegal drugs plus   
   niccotine are evil and so is alcohol unless you're 21 and drink   
   responsibly. There's some truth to what we were told, but when we learned   
   just how harmless pot was the whole story became suspect.

   Wouldn't that be the wrong person? :) Anyway, that's news to me can   
   someone help me out with that?

   Perhaps, but probably not to extent that alcohol does.

   Don't worry. It's not all that inconcievable that someone would say such   
   things, even if they are a respected doctor. ;)
