  I strongly disagree with Harinder Aujila’s assertions that students are better off “reaching for the bottle” and “smoking marijuana is not as good as drinking.” There is absolutely no comparison, cannabis is by far safer than alcohol in every way. And “cannabis is no lighter drug than anything else” makes me question Aujila’s credentials.

  “All drugs are harmful.” Really? Science and history indicate that, even when smoked, the benefits of marijuana use far outweigh the so-called “dangers.”
