An Australian Institute of Health and Welfare survey has found an extra 1 million people started smoking marijuana during the past three years.The survey found 2.7 million people over the age of 14 used the drug in 1998.
The survey also found heroin had toppled marijuana as the drug seen as society's biggest problem.The institute's Geoff Sims says nearly 22,000 people died in 1997 due to using legal drugs like tobacco and alcohol, just over 800 died using illegal drugs."You can see that in terms of deaths, the numbers that are caused by the more acceptable drugs for use in the community...tobacco and the alcohol, far outweigh the numbers that there are for illicit [drugs]," he said. It is becoming common knowledge that marijuana is the least harmful drug compared to tobacco or alcohol!

alcohol vs. pot
I'd rather be around pot smokers any day as to have to be around an ol' nasty,slobbering,sweating drunk all slopping over you.
