   And all this has bound roundly and soundly debunked and refuted before.   
      
   Marijuana is less harmful than potatoes, aspirin, alcohol, tobacco, swimming   
   pools, and lots of other things.   
      
   If marijuana weren't illegal, it could be legally prescribed for a host of   
   diseases and disablements that it can safely treat.  As it is, many states   
   now allow -- under state law -- the dispensing of marijuana for many medial   
   conditions, despite the federal claim that it has "no medical use".   
      
   And as a recreational substance, it is far safer than many recreational   
   activities that are quite legal.
