Marijuana is not benign. Anyone who thinks it is is a few bricks short of a patio. Fortunately, practically no one thinks that. Marijuana is not benign; it is comparatively benign. But is marijuana prohibition benign? It is important to ask, because the marijuana prohibition "treatment" is being administered by the government to the population.

Does marijuana prohibition meet the FDA's safety and effectiveness standards? Does it meet those standards so convincingly that it should be administered to the entire population of the United States—forcibly in the case of a huge percentage of people? If not, the treatment should be pulled from the shelves forthwith.
