US President Barack Obama has said
smoking marijuana is no more dangerous than alcohol, but still called it a "bad
idea". Speaking to The New Yorker magazine, he said it was wrong to think legalising
the drug would be "a panacea" that could solve many social problems. President Obama was referring to recent legalisation of marijuana in the states of
Colorado and Washington. He has previously admitted using the drug when he was young.
"As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life," Mr Obama said.
But he added that in terms of its impact on the individual consumer "I don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol". LOL Barack so are you trying to say alcohol is more dangerous that marijuana? hum I don't get it.
